Simulated seismic intensity patterns for the 5 September 2022 Mw 6.6 Luding earthquake in southwest China, calculated from peak ground velocity in the 0.02–0.5 Hz frequency range. Although the same ...

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

(A) Coseismic landslide inventories within the Alpine-Himalayan and Circum-Pacific belts. (B) The enlarged view of highlighted 38 earthquakes. The five Köppen-Geiger climate zones are here simplified ...

Scientists have built a lab model that visually tracks how microscopic contact points between fault surfaces evolve during earthquake cycles, revealing the hidden mechanics behind both the slow ...
