Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 8, 28 April 2025.Abstract The M6.4 mainshock of the southwestern Puerto Rico seismic sequence on 7 January 2020, was one of the most impactful modern earthquakes in the northeastern Caribbean. Due to its offshore location and complex aftershock distribution, its source kinematics remain poorly constrained.

Observations and modeling of long-period ground-motion amplification across northeast China [PDF]
, 2018 Basin resonances can significantly amplify and prolong ground shaking, and accurate site‐amplification estimates are crucial for mitigating potential seismic hazards within metropolitan basins.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Landslides occur where the stresses below the surface exceed the shear strength of the material. Landslide inventories thus offer opportunities to investigate patterns in subsurface strength provided that the stress conditions at failure can be estimated. Clues to the failure stresses are encoded in the inclination of the slope that failed and

CyberShake-derived ground-motion prediction models for the Los Angeles region with application to earthquake early warning [PDF]
, 2017 Real-time applications such as earthquake early warning (EEW) typically use empirical ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) along with event magnitude and source-to-site distances to estimate expected shaking levels.

Accounting for ground‐motion uncertainty in empirical seismic fragility modeling
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 2456-2474, November 2024.Seismic fragility models provide a probabilistic relation between ground‐motion intensity and damage, making them a crucial component of many regional risk assessments. Estimating such models from damage data gathered after past earthquakes is challenging because of uncertainty in the ground‐motion intensity the structures were subjected to.

The 2023 Alaska National Seismic Hazard Model
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 2545-2597, November 2024.US Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) are used extensively for seismic design regulations in the United States and earthquake scenario development, as well as risk assessment and mitigation for both buildings and infrastructure.

Damage‐informed ground motion and semi‐empirical fragility assessment
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 53, Issue 11, Page 3514-3526, September 2024.Abstract Calibrating parametric fragility curves via empirical damage data is one of the standard approaches to derive seismic structural vulnerability models. Fragilities based on empirical data require the characterization of the ground motion (GM) intensity at the building sites in the area affected by the earthquake producing the observed damages ...

FinDer v.2: Improved real-time ground-motion predictions for M2–M9 with seismic finite-source characterization [PDF]
, 2018 Recent studies suggest that small and large earthquakes nucleate similarly, and that they often have indistinguishable seismic waveform onsets. The characterization of earthquakes in real time, such as for earthquake early warning, therefore requires a ...
