Numerical simulations have pinpointed the source of acoustic signals emitted by stressed faults in laboratory earthquake machines. The work further unpacks the physics driving geologic faults, ...

A simulation released by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) shows the impact of a 7.5-magnitude earthquake on the Seattle Fault. “Tsunami waves could be as high as 42 feet at ...

Based in the spectacular setting of the southern Spanish Pyrenees, this course incorporates geology field and core store data collection with classroom based workshops and lectures to investigate the ...

The key to most subsurface processes is to determine how structural and topological features at small length scales, i.e., the microstructure, control the effective and macroscopic properties of earth ...

The Seattle fault zone is a network of shallow faults slicing through the lowlands of Puget Sound, threatening to create damaging earthquakes for the more than four million people who live there. A ...

For years, textbooks taught that shallow faults—cracks in the Earth’s upper crust—were too stable to cause earthquakes. Once they began to slip, they supposedly resisted further movement, a property ...

Geologists have been given a “one-of-a-kind” window into Scotland’s geological past as they analyse core rock drilled from the Great Glen Fault during investigations for a hydro-storage scheme. The ...
