An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

The research, modeling an 8.0 quake in Southern California, was selected as a finalist for the Gordon Bell prize for outstanding achievement in high-performance computing applications A ...

A multi-disciplinary team has simulated the largest, longest multiphysics earthquake simulation to date. Just before 8:00 a.m. local time on December 26, 2004, people in southeast Asia were starting ...

Researchers report that their physics-based model of California earthquake hazards replicated estimates from the state's leading statistical model. Earthquakes pose a profound danger to people and ...

Massive earthquakes are, fortunately, rare events. But that scarcity of information blinds us in some ways to their risks, especially when it comes to determining the risk for a specific location or ...
