The Seismic Monitoring and Research Group at the Department of Geosciences, University of Malta, confirmed that three of its ...

Understanding the Earthquake's Impact On a fateful day, Myanmar experienced an earthquake registering 7.7 on the Richter scale, claiming the lives of at least 144 individuals and injuring more than ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

Researchers examining seismic data recorded on Mars say the have found evidence supporting the presence of liquid water deep ...

Basically, a seismic wave is generated underneath the earth's surface, and then picked up by sensors called "geophones" as the waves bounce off subsurface formations -- that is, layers of rock ...

The SEIS instrument, which contains the seismometer, uses the seismic waves naturally generated on Mars from Marsquakes or ...

Two Japanese seismic researchers have shared their respective analysis on last week's powerful earthquake that struck near ...

There are a number of ways to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Most scales are based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded on seismometers. These scales account for the distance between ...

Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is capable of finely characterizing the velocity structure, anisotropy, viscoelasticity, and attenuation properties of subsurface media, which provides critical ...

which uses "electrical energy . . . as a wave source" that "monitor[s] seismic wave energy" on dry, wet, and frozen diabase samples. Experimentation revealed that the seismic velocities of the dry ...
