Earthquake Research Falut geometry and slip distribution for the Denali Earthquake. sample of earthquake research.

The Seismological Laboratory at Caltech has a long tradition in earthquake science and is actively involved in the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN) -- one of the most advanced seismographic networks in the world. The Lab also runs an automatic moment tensor determination for large events around the world. In addition our scientists have pioneered the imaging of the earthquake rupture process. The Seismo Lab takes a multidisciplinary approach to earthquake science with strong collaborative efforts involving various groups (including INSAR and Theoretical and Computational Seismology). Collaborative research is also conducted between the Seismo Lab and the Graduate Aeronautics Laboratory aimed at connecting earthquake seismology and fracture mechanics.
