More than 2,000 people lodged at campsites around the southern French town of Canet-en-Roussillon have been evacuated, local ...

A new physics-based model suggests Southern California’s Cajon Pass fault junction is critically stressed and could influence whether a future major earthquake spreads across two fault systems. Credit ...

A research group led by Satoshi Ide from the University of Tokyo has demonstrated that classic earthquake generation theory does not hold in areas where the angle at which a tectonic plate dips under ...

Thirty years ago, seismologists worked with far less data, far slower computers, and a fundamentally simpler picture of how ...

In fault gouge, fluids drive chemical healing by cementing grains, a mechanism for seismic slip in rocks frictionally ...
