Safer infrastructure could help prevent catastrophic destruction like that in the Syrian and Turkey earthquakes, argues Rachel Abercrombie.

New research could eventually lead to better earthquake models on strike-slip faults, regions with frequent and major earthquakes.

Mars has generally been considered geologically dead. But marsquakes indicate volcanic activity still plays a role in shaping its surface.

High-frequency vibrations are some of the most damaging ground movements earthquakes produce. Now, researchers have a new theory about how they happen.
