This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $224,382 to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles Basin. The research aims to improve understanding of the basin's complex tectonic structure and evaluate seismic hazard risk for the densely populated region. The project will analyze data from a 300-node geophone array deployed across the LA Basin in 2022, combined with...
This $203,961 National Science Foundation Project Grant from the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new 3D velocity and structural model of sedimentary basins in the Los Angeles region. The University of Arizona will receive funding from January 15, 2023 to June 30, 2023 to conduct seismic field experiments using over 700 instruments across 10 lines. This will allow imaging of subsurface structures channeling earthquake waves into downtown Los Angeles at a higher...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $238,875 to the University of Utah for a collaborative research project to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles Basin. The goal is to accurately estimate earthquake ground motion and assess seismic hazard for this densely populated region. The researchers will analyze data from a temporary 300-node geophone array deployed across the LA Basin, combined with other seismic and...
