Some large earthquakes may flip direction and “boomerang” back, striking the same area twice and reshaping damage patterns.

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Dr Robin Lee and Dr Camilla Penney from the University of Canterbury have been awarded Natural Hazards Commission grants towards their ...
