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 ...

Despite its open-source software for quake risk being delayed, the Global Earthquake Model is winning more supporters.

An ambitious project called the Global Earthquake Model hopes to freely provide open source earthquake hazard and risk prediction tools to the world.

AIR Worldwide Corporation has announced it is sponsoring the Global Earthquake Model (GEM). The GEM project is a five-year project led by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ...

Happily, there is a glimmer of such an effort emerging in the Global Earthquake Model project. The latest research findings often take several decades to make their way to practice.

The model is now being tested by the Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability, an international project started by Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake ...

A team of civil engineering students will have seven minutes to place metal rods into an intricate, wooden structure. When they finish, the building must withstand an earthquake simulated by a ...

Scientists lay a framework for a new approach to earthquake prediction. Testing of new forecasting model is in progress but results are not expected for approximately another two years.

A UK-based distributed computing project is revealing new scientific insights into earthquakes. Technologies developed under the Discovery Net project are enabling geophysicists to combine two ...

U.S. nuclear power companies will be directed to reassess their reactors' vulnerability to an elevated threat from earthquakes east of the Rockies, using new computer models and seismic data ...
