An earthquake generates a series of seismic waves that travel through the interior or near the surface of the Earth. There are four types of seismic waves. How will three identically engineered ...

Alaska earthquake sensors captured aircraft vibrations, helping identify plane types and refine and noise monitoring.

When a 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck central China's Sichuan province in 2008, seismic waves rippled through the region, toppling apartment houses in the city of Chengdu and swaying office buildings ...

Instruments typically used to detect the ground motion of earthquakes can also be used to identify the type of aircraft flying far overhead, research by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists shows ...

An array of seismic sensors deployed to capture aftershocks from the 2018 magnitude 7.1 Anchorage earthquake also collected distinctive signals from hundreds of flights crossing over Alaska.

A recent study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters is the first to directly link earthquakes to climate ...

Fifteen minutes before the massive January 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano, a seismic wave was recorded by two distant seismic stations. Now, researchers argue that similar ...
