Gordon Bell Finalist Displays Earthquake Simulator at SC 18

During a large earthquake, energy rips through the ground in the form of seismic waves that can cause serious harm on densely populated areas. The effects of earthquakes can be difficult to predict, and even the best modeling and simulation techniques to date have been unable to capture some of these earthquakes’ more complex characteristics. To … Continued
