Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction, often described as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils, is a leading cause of earthquake ...
Global distribution of natural and induced seismicity. Natural earthquakes with moment magnitude higher than 5 are color-coded according to their hypocenter depth (upper right colorbar, U.S.
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
Over the last decade, seismologists have demonstrated a troubling corollary of the extraordinary shale boom: the disposal of liquid waste from fracking operations and other fossil fuel production has ...
Earthquakes in the American state of Utah, the Soultz-sous-Forêts region of France or in the Dutch province of Groningen should not be able to occur even if the subsurface has been exploited for ...
A scanning electron photomicrograph highlights a region of rock that slipped during a laboratory-induced earthquake. The "flowy" central area represents a portion of the rock that was melted and ...
Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, ...
