As Utah prepares for an overdue, big earthquake, University of Utah seismologists found that current seismic hazard models ...

The main factors that contribute to this evaluation are: The maximum expected ground shaking from this quake was unlikely to reach dangerous levels over populated areas; it should not have ...

Thicker sediments increase seismic hazard by intensifying ground shaking during an earthquake. "In a basin, seismic shaking is amplified. It's very important to understand the thickness and ...

The Encinitas City Council gave its initial approval last week to new, state-mandated fire hazard ... type, ground slope conditions, weather data and other factors, Gordon said. The new maps ...

A bill to repeal the state’s unpopular Wildfire Hazard Map passed the Oregon Senate unanimously in April, signaling it would be one of the least controversial and most bipartisan bills to pass this ...

The study provides a new framework for earthquake and tsunami hazard assessment ... and chemical spills – can magnify the human toll long after the shaking stops. With the new Cascadia maps in hand, ...

Abstract: Earthquake engineers have traditionally investigated the behavior of structures with either computational simulations or physical experiments. Recently, a new hybrid approach has been ...

"Given that most of the felt reports are coming from a fair distance away from the earthquake, most people are reporting relatively light levels of ground shaking — and so we probably wouldn't ...
