Simulation‐Based Nonlinear Site Amplification Models for Western United States
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.This article presents one of the first nonlinear (NL) site amplification models relative to VS30 of 800 m/s for the Western United States (WUS) for both the smoothed effective amplitude spectrum (EAS), described as the orientation‐independent horizontal‐component Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS) of ground acceleration, and the response spectra (RS ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.For many decades, it has been common practice to overlook the differences between response spectra and pseudo response spectra. This practice stems from analyses indicating that the average difference between response spectra and pseudo response spectra is negligible for a viscous damping ratio of 5%, which is near‐universally adopted.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract Ground deformation of dormant volcanoes provides critical insights into subsurface processes and potential hazards. Here we present Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series (2015–2020) for Changbaishan volcano, the largest intraplate volcanic system in East Asia. We detect persistent subsidence of up to 3.5 mm/yr
