When talking about squeezing rocks together, Prof. Gregory McLaskey Ph.D ’05, civil engineering, gets a glimmer in his eyes. Using the world’s largest rock squeezing machine, McLaskey researches the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Yellowstone Caldera, spanning Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, is among the most seismically active volcanic regions on Earth. A ...

A team at Los Alamos National Laboratory used machine learning — an application of artificial intelligence — to detect the hidden signals that precede an earthquake. The findings at the Kīlauea ...

Computer models that factor in the Sun's impact on Earth's surface temperatures are providing more accurate simulations of past earthquakes. Reading time 2 minutes Seismologists know a lot about the ...
