The Whittier Narrows earthquake of 1987 and the Northridge earthquake of 1991 highlighted the earthquake hazards associated with buried faults in the Los Angeles region. A more thorough knowledge of the subsurface structure of southern California is needed to reveal these and other buried faults and ...

This study explores the impact of post-earthquake images inserted in a vigilance task, in terms of performance, self-reports of task-focus, and cerebral activity using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Vigilance tasks present a sequence of stimuli in which only a few are pre-designat...
The judge is but a gatekeeper, assigned to keep pristine the edifice of the Law. She begins in the bazaar outside, a merchant or a street sweeper. Her merits eventually bring her inside the marble cathedral that is the Law. At first it appears perfect. In time she learns the flaws, th...

This study, by employing the geophysical magnetotellurics (MT) soundings technique, mapped the deep electrical structures beneath the seismogenic zone of the Chi‐Chi Earthquake and shows prominent effects. About fifty MT soundings were conducted and analyzed to recover 3D resistivity distributions. ...

127 active volcanoes and ispart of the “Ring of Fire,”an area around the edges of the Pacific Ocean with heavy volcanic and earthquake activity. NASA’s image shows just some of these craters, with the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea creating a perfect contrast to the line of volcanoes....
Green star shows the location of a tsunami earthquake that occurred in 1947 (Doser & Webb, 2003). Blue circles are IODP drill sites. Dashed black contours show the cumulative slip from the 2014 SSE. (c) The interpreted 05CM-04 PSDM image of the Hikurangi subduction zone from Barker et ...
