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 ...

Earthquakes have shaped the planet’s geography and influenced human history in profound ways. Among these natural events, one ...

A new seismic study of Singapore could guide urban growth and renewable energy development in the coastal city nation, where 5.6 million residents live within an area of 734 square kilometers.

To figure out just where that earthquake happened, you need recordings from seismic stations in other places. While earthquake locations are normally done with a computer that can quickly determine ...

The research team analyzed 150,219 amplitude and phase measurements from 1,088 teleseismic events recorded across 110 seismic stations, including land-based and ocean-bottom instruments deployed ...

The objective was to mimic a monotonically decreasing amplitude all the way through the length of the trace. The Seismic Un*x program supgc was first used to create a version of the stack where the ...

Seismic waves passing through these soft sediments grow stronger in amplitude, leading to stronger shaking that is more likely to damage infrastructure. Singapore lies a few hundred kilometers ...
