The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography was awarded a $247,370.76 research grant on January 21, 2022, to analyze space geodetic observations along the Southern San Andreas Fault in California. The research will investigate the spatio-temporal evolution of shallow creep that has occurred since 2015, including a slow slip event triggered by the 2017 M8.2 Chiapas, Mexico earthquake. The work is scheduled for completion by January 20, 2025, and will be...

This federal contract award to Stanford University, a renowned private research institution, is focused on studying earthquake hazards along the Cascadia region of the Pacific Northwest. The $437,838 grant aims to determine if aseismic, or "silent," slip events along the plate boundary are affecting earthquake risk in this area. The research will leverage InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data, in combination with GPS and seismic information, to map crustal deformation...

This is a $339,644.46 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant supports a 3-year research project to measure the seismic moment accumulation rate and crustal strain rate along the San Andreas Fault System using a combination of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The project aims to improve processing methods for...

This is a $468,288.56 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to measure tectonic crustal strain rates along the San Andreas Fault system using a combination of InSAR and GNSS data. The goal is to accurately forecast large-scale geological hazards in a socially relevant timeframe by achieving an average velocity accuracy of 0.5 mm/yr over 10 km. This will require applying several corrections to the InSAR data, including solid...

This is a $420,696.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on improving fault slip estimates for large magnitude earthquakes. The goal is to better understand the natural hazards associated with earthquakes in order to enhance mitigation and preparation efforts. The research will focus on using a range of geodetic data to produce accurate estimates of fault slip across the entire...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $125,494.52 research and development training grant to the University of Oregon to develop an algorithm that can rapidly determine the magnitude of large earthquakes, including those in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This work aims to improve earthquake early warning systems, which are critical for providing seconds to minutes of advance warning before strong shaking occurs. The project will apply machine learning techniques to...
