- Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary The University of Alaska Fairbanks received a $2.73 million Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) awarded November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2027. Under this agreement, the Alaska Earthquake Center (AEC) will maintain, operate, and provide data collection services for the Alaska Geophysical Network, which encompasses long-standing seismic monitoring sites, stations adopted through...
Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary The University of Washington received a $246,796 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This award supports a complementary project within the Cascadia Coastlines and Peoples (COPES) Hazards Research Hub, a multi-institutional effort involving the University of Washington, Oregon State University, University of Oregon, and other partner universities. The primary deliverable is the development of comprehensive quantitative multi-hazard risk assessments for coastal Washington communities to evaluate cascading earthquake impacts on critical infrastructure systems and lifelines. The work will integrate advanced modeling techniques and artificial intelligence-driven analyses to assess the impacts of Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquakes across coastal Washington. Specifically, the recipient will combine ground motion simulations, coupled tsunami simulations, regional liquefaction assessments, and high-resolution landslide forecasting with detailed facility databases and fragility estimates for buildings, bridges, roads, and healthcare facilities to produce risk analyses. The work will be conducted primarily by a postdoctoral researcher and advanced doctoral student in close coordination with USGS colleagues and other COPES Hub researchers and community partners. The resulting analyses are intended to identify where residents may face service disruptions and healthcare access challenges during seismic events, thereby supporting regional hazard preparedness and resilience planning.
