The field of seismology has seen in recent times significant advances driven by more sophisticated sensing methods and big data. Equally important has been the continuous development of statistical ...
The Seismology Lab with the University of Nevada says they have recorded at least 120 aftershocks after Monday evening’s ...
A network of simple seismic stations, hosted in volunteers’ homes, helped to rapidly evaluate and characterize the Mw7.2 Nippes earthquake in Haiti in 2021, as well as its subsequent aftershocks. The ...
It’s what’s inside that counts, right? Well, this cheesy expression doesn’t just apply to one’s character. When researchers analyze a planet’s subsurface, knowing what’s on the inside helps them study ...

The Seismological Society of America (SSA) will present its highest honor, the 2017 Harry Fielding Reid Medal, to U.S. Geological Survey emeritus geologist George Plafker, for his transformative work ...
To predict when earthquakes are likely to occur, seismologists often use statistics to monitor how clusters of seismic activity evolve over time. However, this approach often fails to anticipate the ...
Earlier this month, Assistant Professor in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory Daniel Trugman was named the recipient of the 2023 Charles F. Richter Early Career Award. The award is named for Charles ...
In this activity from IRIS, students explore a mechanical model of a fault to learn how energy is stored elastically in rocks and released suddenly as an earthquake. This website uses cookies to ...
