Pursuant to Public Law 96-472, the will hold a 1\1/2\-day meeting on November 14 and 15, 2011, on the campus of the University of Washington. The Council is comprised of members from academia and the Federal Government. The Council shall advise the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey on proposed earthquake predictions, on the completeness and scientific validity of the available data related to earthquake predictions, and on related matters as assigned by the Director. Additional information about the Council may be found at: http://www.earthquake.usgs.gov/aboutus/nepec/. At the meeting, the Council will receive briefings on lessons learned from the 2010 Chile and 2011 Japan subduction earthquakes, monitoring and research effo...
LOS ANGELES - The East Coast earthquake left more than just residents unaccustomed to feeling the ground shake and sway in a daze. It also surprised some scientists who spend their careers trying to untangle the mysteries of sudden ground shifts. Despite decades of research, earthquake prediction remains elusive. As much as society would like scientists to tell us when a jolt is coming, mainstream seismologists are generally pessimistic about ever having that ability.

TOKYO -- Researchers have come closer to unlocking the secrets of earthquake prediction by uncovering the link between tiny, almost imperceptible, tremors deep inside the earth and devastating quakes capable of wiping out cities. Key to the find are so-called silent earthquakes that move so deeply and gradually that they produce no seismic waves. But they are dangerous because they build up pressure on upper layers of the earth's crust that eventually give way in violent snaps.
PASADENA, Calif. - Californians wondering if tomorrow's forecast will be sunny can now find out if there's also a chance of afternoon tremors. Scientists launched a Web site Wednesday that calculates the probability of strong ground-shaking at specific locations over a 24- hour period.
The chances of a major earthquake occurring in the next 30 years in California is a "near certainty" seismologists said Monday, and such an event is more likely to happen in Southern California than anywhere else in the Golden State. That prediction came during the unveiling of a new earthquake probability model by U.S. Geological Survey scientists at USC on Monday. According to the model, the chances of a 6.7-magnitude quake -- the same size as the Northridge temblor of 1994 -- hitting California in the next 30 years is more than 99 percent. The odds of such a quake, or an even larger one, striking Southern California in the same time frame is 97 percent, versus 93 percent for Northern California.
