North Carolina State University was awarded a $149,456 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Earthquake Hazards Program Assistance (CFDA 15.807) to develop a new predictive model for lateral spreading and improve regional-scale estimates of lateral displacement. Key deliverables under the one-year award include a new empirical predictive model incorporating geomorphic variables, a curated electronic database of lateral spreading case studies and associated metadata, and advances in regional-scale ground failure hazard assessments using site-specific and geospatial data. The model and database aim to enhance lateral displacement risk management and planning for governmental geohazards agencies. Intended beneficiaries are the public through reduced seismic risk from earthquake-induced geohazards, as well as researchers, practitioners and academics studying related topics. No subrecipient activities were specified. The award period of performance is May 16, 2023 through May 15, 2024.
