The ability to rapidly assess the spatial distribution and severity of building damage is
essential to post-event emergency response and recovery. Visually identifying and …

Large magnitude earthquakes in urban environments continue to kill and injure tens to
hundreds of thousands of people, inflicting lasting societal and economic disasters …

Earthquake early warning (EEW) is the rapid detection of earthquakes underway and the
alerting of people and infrastructure in harms way. Public warning systems are now …

Theoretical and observational studies suggest that between‐event variability in the median
ground motions of larger (M≥ 5) earthquakes is controlled primarily by the dynamic …

This paper provides an empirical probabilistic model for estimating the downtime of lifelines
following earthquakes. Generally, the downtime of infrastructure varies according to several …

Regional-scale assessment of the damage caused by earthquakes to structures is crucial for
post-disaster management. While remote sensing techniques can be of great help for a …

Tectonic landforms and surficial lithologic age are essential data for producing quality late
Quaternary fault maps and predicting coseismic fault rupture location before an earthquake …

The Mw 6.1 South Napa earthquake occurred near Napa, California, on 24 August 2014 at
10: 20: 44.03 (UTC) and was the largest inland earthquake in northern California since the …

Earthquake-related fault slip in the upper hundreds of meters of Earth's surface has
remained largely unstudied because of challenges measuring deformation in the near field …

Paleoseismology provides fundamental data for generalizing earthquake recurrence
behavior, by revealing past surface‐rupturing events. Determining the size of paleoseismic …
