国际社会推动的努力为断层滑动模拟提供了信心,同时突出了其中的关键差异。
Hazards & Disasters
Why Do Rivers Jump Off the Beaten Path?
Researchers sifted through 50 years of satellite imagery and came up with new clues to where and why rivers avulse, suddenly changing their course.
A Community-Led Landslide Prediction System in India
In a first-of-its-kind disaster prevention initiative, a meteorology-based landslide prediction system was developed as a crowdsourced science effort.
The Kinetics of the Seismic Cycle
Large earthquakes are necessarily punctuated by some degree of strength recovery, such as “fault healing”, but does quartz cementation during fluid-fault interactions facilitate that process?
“Landslide Graveyard” Holds Clues to Long-Term Tsunami Trends
A new project looks to unearth information about and learn from ancient underwater landslides buried deep beneath the seafloor to support New Zealand’s resilience to natural hazards.
Monitoring Earthquakes at the Speed of Light
New research uses gravity and a machine learning model to instantaneously estimate the magnitude and location of large earthquakes.
Muography Array Under Tokyo Bay Spots Meteotsunami Waves
A new study shows how muons can be used to study tide and wave phenomena, helping secure coastal communities.
Modeling Atmospheric Waves from Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha‘apai
A shallow-water oceanic model showed agreement with satellite observations of atmospheric waves produced by the eruption of the underwater volcano.
Mountains Undergo Enhanced Impacts of Climate Change
As climate change persists, amplified temperature increases in mountains and changes in precipitation will diminish snow and ice.
Earthquake Modelers Unite to Compare and Improve Code
International community–driven efforts lend confidence to fault-slip simulations while highlighting key discrepancies.
