The Seattle fault zone is a network of shallow faults slicing through the lowlands of Puget Sound, threatening to create damaging earthquakes for the more than four million people who live there. A ...

Geological engineers bridge the gap between geology and civil engineering, ensuring safe, sustainable interactions with the Earth through tasks like infrastructure design, resource exploration, ...

Geologists have been given a “one-of-a-kind” window into Scotland’s geological past as they analyse core rock drilled from the Great Glen Fault during investigations for a hydro-storage scheme. The ...

New research near Uluru in Australia's arid center shows that rock structures formed deep within the ancient Gondwana supercontinent controlled the rupture pathways of one of Australia's largest ...

The geometric structure of rocks where earthquakes occur could play a key role in determining their location and strength, researchers have found. A study, carried out by geologists at Brown ...
