seismic hazards

Predicting the amount of seismic activity from wastewater injection is difficult because it involves numerous variables

In a study of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, the researchers reported that pressure changes in the volcano’s summit reservoirs helped explain the number of earthquakes—or seismicity—in the upper East Rift Zone

Just 10 seconds into a quake, GPS data can detect signs of acceleration that point to an event's magnitude

The harmonic tonal noise map being developed can pinpoint where certain types of industrial activity are prominent

A closer look at seismic data from 2008–2017 expands Southern California's earthquake catalog by a factor of 10

A new way to sense earthquakes could help improve early warning systems

Using newly refined analysis methods, scientists have discovered that a North Korean nuclear bomb test last fall set off aftershocks over a period of eight months

For the first time, UMass Amherst geoscientists offer some direct evidence of how the Adirondack Mountains may have formed

Scientists have used some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to model ground shaking for a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on the Hayward fault and show more realistic motions than ever before

Significant seismic hazard continues despite recent reductions in injection of wastewater from oil and gas production, seismologists say
