Summary: Scientists at the University of California, Riverside say they developed a way to identify where the biggest earthquakes are likely to occur. The approach pinpoints areas where stress has been building along major faults, indicating where a rupture may take place, but it does not predict when an earthquake will happen.
WHO: Scientists at the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside)
WHAT: Developed a methodology to identify where major earthquakes are likely to strike next by mapping stress buildup along major faults; it predicts location but not timing.
WHEN: Sep 06, 2026 at 12:23 PM ET
WHERE: California
WHY: The method identifies where stress has been building along major faults, indicating where a rupture is likely to occur.
