This $171,824 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support Elizabeth Madden and her research team at San Jose State University (SJSU) in characterizing the geometry and activity of faults that make up the San Andreas Fault system in the San Francisco Bay Area. The team will integrate geological field mapping, LiDAR data, and computer modeling to develop methods for improving 3D representations of fault structures and constraining fault...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $544,307 will support collaborative research to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" along major strike-slip faults. The 5-year project, which begins on September 1, 2024, will leverage expertise across geoscience and engineering disciplines to characterize the detailed properties of the upper 1 km of fault zones, including the...
This $126,858 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports an investigation of how material properties in the "earthquake critical zone" (the top 1 km of a fault) impact earthquake hazards. The research team at Brown University will bridge geoscience and engineering approaches to characterize seismic cycle processes on two major strike-slip faults - the Southern San Andreas Fault in California and the Anatolian...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research into the spatiotemporal scales of transient slow slip on the San Andreas Fault near San Juan Bautista, Central California, and the implications for seismic hazard assessment in the region. Specifically, the funding will allow researchers to conduct fieldwork and analyses to better understand...
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Project Grant award under the Earthquake Hazards Program Assistance (CFDA 15.807) provides $157,886.66 to Fiber Sense US LLC to research, develop, and begin productizing an innovative fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) method using telecommunications cables to advance seismic hazard analysis in urban areas. The key activities and deliverables include: 1) Generating and delivering a dataset of 1,500 earthquake recordings from the San Francisco Bay...
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...
