Researchers have used the Stampede1 and 2 supercomputers to complete one of the world's largest earthquake simulation models: The Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3). The simulations showed that in the week following a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, the likelihood of another...

Every major city these days has optical fiber networks buried all over the place carrying data. Researchers at Stanford want to use these optical fibers to double up as seismic sensors for monitoring and studying earthquakes. For people in earthquake prone areas this could really aid in...
