Simulations Show Distinct Ground Motion Signatures of Supershear Earthquakes

21 July 2026—Sustained supershear earthquake ruptures produce distinct ground motion characteristics compared to subshear earthquakes, according to a study published in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, with potential implications for current building codes and ground motion models. Supershear earthquakes occur when the fault rupture itself moves faster … Continue Reading » The…
