Tectonics and Earthquakes

By combining historical records with understanding how faults behave, we can make more informed statements about future earthquakes.

-- Kerry Sieh, EOS Director

A goal of our work is to better understand the "personality" of each of the large faults in the region.

Southeast Asian Seismic Study

Fundamental Source‐to‐Site‐to‐Structure Study of Seismic Impacts and Hazards for part of South‐East Asia covering Sumatra, Java and the Malay Peninsula This is a continuation of an ongoing project to develop large scale 3‐D computational models which can perform `source‐to‐site‐to‐structure' simulat…

Southeast Asia Neotectonic

Neotectonic Studies in Southeast Asia We have begun creation of a smart (GIS-based) active fault map and database for Southeast Asia. Our two principal motivations are to systematically reconnoiter poorly known parts of Southeast Asia and to meet the needs of the Global Earthquake Model project…

Seismic Fault Model Testing in China

Earthquake Ruptures in China: Testing Seismic Fault Behavior Models Using submetric-resolution QuickBird or GeoEye satellite images, and with calibration in the field, we propose to increase the relevant database by exploiting the unmatched “museum class” archive of superbly preserved seismic strike…

Nepal Seismotectonics

Morphology and Paleoseismology of the Main Frontal Thrust in Nepal The Main Himalayan Frontal Thrust (MHT/MFT), the largest and fastest-slipping continental megathrust, poses a major threat to the northern Indian sub-continent.
