Geotechnical Engineering Professor Ramin Motamed is a faculty member in the College of Engineering’s Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. His areas of research include shake table tests on ...

Earthquakes and landslides are famously difficult to predict and prepare for. By studying a miniature version of the ground in the lab, scientists have demonstrated how these events can be triggered ...

Geologists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have quantified the complete energy budget of an earthquake for the first time. Particularly, the team looked at how much energy is ...

Predicting earthquakes has long been an unattainable fantasy. Factors like odd animal behaviors that have historically been thought to forebode earthquakes are not supported by empirical evidence. As ...

Welcome to the Earthquake Lab of EarthPulse Center. Here you will have the opportunity to emulate modern-day geophysicists as they monitor earthquakes and attempt to gain a better understanding of ...

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 ...

Studying earthquakes can be a tricky business, especially as scientists don’t know exactly when or where they’ll strike. The Fault Activation and Earthquake Rupture (FEAR) project—a new facility deep ...
