January 26 marked 325 years since a massive magnitude 9 earthquake struck the Cascadia Subduction Zone, leaving clues like "ghost forests" and Native American lore that help scientists prepare for the next one. While the timing of the next quake is uncertain, experts emphasize preparation, including evacuation plans and emergency supplies, to mitigate risks and improve safety in the region. #earthquake #seismic https://lnkd.in/gavxwtwv

A magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck New England on Monday, with shaking felt from Boston to Portland, Maine, serving as a reminder that earthquakes, though rare, do occur along the Atlantic Seaboard. While no damage or risk remains, this event highlights the region’s occasional seismic activity and its potential to disturb the Earth's crust. #earthquakes #earthquakepreparedness https://lnkd.in/gh9JwK7x

Penn State engineers have developed a physics-informed AI model to predict lab earthquakes, or labquakes, by integrating rate and state friction laws into machine learning. This breakthrough offers a step forward in understanding earthquake mechanics, potentially paving the way for forecasting natural earthquakes in the future. https://lnkd.in/gzm9-iga #seismic #earthquakepreparedness

A magnitude 6 earthquake struck southern Taiwan early Tuesday, leaving 15 people with minor injuries and causing structural damage, including a collapsed house and a damaged bridge. This serves as a stark reminder of Taiwan's vulnerability to seismic activity, as it lies along the Pacific "Ring of Fire." https://lnkd.in/gYWT2JWJ
