- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
- This $238,875 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Utah. The grant aims to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles (LA) Basin, which is critical for accurately estimating earthquake ground motion and assessing seismic hazard in this densely populated area. The researchers will analyze data from a temporary 300-node geophone array deployed across the LA Basin in 2022, and combine it with other seismic...
This $345,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the rupture characteristics of large global earthquakes from 2000 to 2022. The project aims to improve the analysis of earthquake ruptures in real-time using an advanced seismic back-projection method, which will enable more accurate measurements of rupture speed, extent, and segmentation. The outcomes of this research are expected to advance fundamental knowledge of earthquake behavior and support improved early warning and hazard mitigation strategies. The grant provides training for graduate students and includes science outreach efforts to engage K-12 students and the broader public. The research results will be made publicly available through the development of a comprehensive global database of earthquake rupture histories.
