From Earthquakes  to Oil Spills, EESA Research Informs Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Mitigation

June 2, 2021

EESA research addresses urgent global, national, and state of California needs. For example, EESA scientists are actively studying earthquakes and sea-level rise–both of concern to California and other coastal states–and bringing their expertise to bear on challenges troubling all of the American West, from drought to wildfire to water security. Since 2010 alone, EESA researchers…

Dark Fiber Lays Groundwork for Long-Distance Earthquake Detection and Groundwater Mapping

February 6, 2019

In traditional seismology, researchers studying how the earth moves in the moments before, during, and after an earthquake rely on sensors that cost tens of thousands of dollars to make and install underground. And because of the expense and labor involved, only a few seismic sensors have been installed throughout remote areas of California, making…

New Simulations Break Down Potential Impact of a Major Quake by Building Location and Size

June 28, 2018

ABOVE: Images resulting from recent simulations at NERSC show the distribution of ground motion intensity across the San Francisco Bay Area region 10 and 15 seconds after a large-magnitude earthquake along the Hayward Fault. (Credit: Berkeley Lab)   With unprecedented resolution, scientists and engineers are simulating precisely how a large-magnitude earthquake along the Hayward Fault…

EESA Scientists Leverage Machine Learning to Connect Measurements of Shale Across Scales

May 2, 2018

  EESA Scientists were able to use the new synchrotron Infrared Nano Spectroscopy (SINS) capability at Advanced Light Source. Above: Diagrams of the setup of (a) the Germanium-hemisphere enhanced attenuated total reflection (Ge micro-ATR) and (b) the resonance enhanced SINS.   Berkeley Lab scientists have identified a way to use machine learning to connect fine-…
