Can We Predict Earthquakes? Inside ShakeAlert's Early Warning!

How Well Do Mapped Tectonic Faults Predict the Location of Surface Rupture in the Next Earthquake? | Seismological Society of America

16 April 2025—In places where earthquakes rupture the Earth’s surface, scientists often try to predict the location of these future fault ruptures based on the geological fault traces created in past earthquakes. But how accurate are these fault traces in predicting the next rupture location? At the Seismological Society of America’s Annual Meeting, Arizona State University researcher Chelsea Scott shared the results of recent research evaluatin…
