Risk models can’t rely just on the past anymore. A team of geoscientists suggests new ways to forecast evolving hazards in real time as cascading disaster risk worsens.

The US experiences violent earthquakes, but the damage and death toll is much lower than in many countries because of the work of federal seismologists and engineers.

By making use of MIT’s existing fiber optic infrastructure, PhD student Hilary Chang imaged the ground underneath campus, a method that can be used to characterize seismic hazards.

It’s impossible to predict a specific tremor. But long-term forecasts mean we can be prepared.

EAPS PhD student Jared Bryan found a way to use his research on earthquakes to help understand exoplanet migration.

Here’s how our understanding of underwater avalanches is changing.

The results suggest that climate may influence seismic activity.

The earthquake, one of New Jersey’s largest on record, could be felt from Maryland to Boston. But don’t read too much into it.
