The move is complete and experiments are underway in the University of Nevada, Reno's new Earthquake Engineering Laboratory. The College of Engineering hosted a grand opening today celebrating the new ...

Earthquakes take place along plate edges and along faults all over the world, but in April, one will take place on the University of Minnesota campus. A laboratory at the University will test the ...

UNR’s seismic-simulation facility became the largest in the United States and second largest in the world this week with an expansion that included moving three new 27-ton shake table tops into the ...

"We are a long way off from predicting natural earthquakes, but understanding the physics of labquakes and how they evolve allows us to better understand the mechanics of real earthquakes," said ...

Earthquakes are notoriously hard to predict, and so too are the usually less-severe aftershocks that often follow a major seismic event. Earthquakes are notoriously hard to predict, and so too are the ...

The technology used to measure and monitor earthquakes has remained largely unchanged over the past century, but a breakthrough from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory utilizing telecommunication ...

In a 'seismological wind tunnel,' engineers demonstrate the impact of rock gouge -- ground-up rock along a fault boundary -- on earthquake propogation. By simulating earthquakes in a lab, Caltech ...

New research in Yellowstone National Park has found a connection between earthquake swarms and the chemical reactions needed ...

Along some fault lines, which are the boundaries of tectonic plates, a fine-grained gravel is formed as the plates grind against one another. The influence of this gravel on earthquakes has long been ...
