A powerful computational study of southern California identified 10 times more earthquakes occurred, and 10 times more frequently than previously measured. Researchers were able to detect, understand, and locate quakes more precisely, and they created the most comprehensive earthquake catalog to date. The big data analysis of the entire region also revealed new information, such as triggering mechanisms and hidden foreshocks, which may help predict larger quakes.
