Earthquake prediction, no matter what the timescale, has been and continues to be a
contentious subject and it is indubitably a prominent challenge for modern seismology and …

Several rupture directivity models (DMs) have been developed in recent years to describe
the near-source spatial variations in ground-motion amplitudes related to propagation of …

Earthquakes are one of the world's most deadly geohazards, with an average annual death
toll of 80,000 over the last decade alone ( Bartels and VanRooyen, 2011). This death toll will …

Forecasters want to consider an increasingly rich variety of earthquake ruptures. Past
occurrence is captured in part by paloeseismic observations, which necessarily see three …

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment is requiring an increasingly broad compilation of
earthquake sources. Fault systems are often divided into characteristic ruptures based on …

Areas of low strain rate are typically characterized by low to moderate seismicity. The
earthquake catalogs for these regions do not usually include large earthquakes because of …

We present a nonergodic framework for probabilistic seismic‐hazard analysis (PSHA) that is
constructed entirely of deterministic, physical models. The use of deterministic ground …

ABSTRACT A new computational platform for seismic hazard assessment is presented. The
platform, named SeismicHazard, allows characterizing the intensity, uncertainty, and …

Unique challenges are faced in modelling faults in intraplate regions for seismic hazard
purposes. Low fault slip rates compared to landscape modification rates often leads to poor …

Understanding the generation of damaging, high‐frequency ground motions during
earthquakes is essential both for fundamental science and for effective hazard preparation …
