Of the more than 624,000 highway bridges in the U.S., an estimated 220,000 need repairs. Quantum sensors could help engineers ...

Researchers modeled 1,000 years of earthquake history along Southern California's San Andreas and San Jacinto faults. What they found was troubling. Reading time 4 minutes No U.S. region is at greater ...

The Hayward fault line has not had a major earthquake since 1868, but new simulations designed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have found the Bay ...

Abstract: This research describes a deep learning-based artificial neural network (ANN) approach for the detection, classification, and localization of series faults (open conductor faults) in power ...

A hidden network of earthquake faults running beneath Seattle may be far more active than scientists realized. New research reveals that smaller “secondary” faults in the Seattle Fault Zone appear to ...

Accurate, fast, and interpretable fault identification on electrical transmission lines is essential for maintaining power system stability and reducing outage durations. In this study, we propose a ...

There are two kinds of people who don’t hang pictures on their walls: minimalists, and people who live directly above a fault line. Alex Cully is the latter. From 2016 to 2017, Cully rented an ...

Northwest Louisiana recently experienced a 4.9 magnitude earthquake, with residents reporting beds shaking and walls vibrating. This quake was much more intense than what's typical in Louisiana, with ...

In the Pacific Northwest, big faults like the Cascadian subduction zone located offshore, get a lot of attention. But big faults aren't the only ones that pose significant hazards, and a new study ...

The Mendocino Triple Junction off the coast of Northern California is the point where three tectonic plates meet. A new study reveals at least five moving pieces deep below the Earth's surface make up ...

Drop. Cover. Hold on. That’s the three-part jingle every Californian learns to stay safe in earthquake country. Scientists forecast a more than 99% chance that earthquakes of 6.7 magnitude or larger ...
