| Abstract | Eleven percent of the world's recorded earthquakes occur in Alaska, with many notable historical events including the 1964 M9.2 Alaska earthquake, the second largest earthquake ever recorded, as well as the 2018 M7.1 Anchorage earthquake. Earthquake hazards in south-central Alaska are a serious concern because the area includes the city of Anchorage where more than a third (~280,000 people) of the state’s population live. To facilitate estimating seismic hazard for the region from future large e |
