There are basically four different types of seismic design methods. Most building designers immediately assume that the building code provides the best seismic design method. This is a good assumption ...

Drilling for oil is an expensive gamble: With project costs rising every year, an oil company can stand to lose an incredible amount of money exploring or developing a property that fails to yield ...

A new synthesis of seismic research shows that artificial intelligence, when combined with physical principles, is rapidly transforming how scientists image the Earth’s shallow and crustal structures.

A new seismic detection method reveals faint ground signals that precede volcanic eruptions, offering earlier and simpler warnings.

This chapter addresses methods for the remote detection and characterization of fractures in the subsurface. These indirect detection methods are mainly geophysical in nature and rely on the physical ...
