Collaborative Research: A New 3-D Velocity and Structural Model of the Northern Basins in — NSF Award to University of Arizona (AZ
The next large earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault is expected to produce strong ground shaking hundreds of kilometers to the north, in Los Angeles, California. This will occur because the geologic structures beneath the Earth’s surface act as a wave guide channeling earthquake waves into downtown Los Angeles.

| Abstract | The next large earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault is expected to produce strong ground shaking hundreds of kilometers to the north, in Los Angeles, California. This will occur because the geologic structures beneath the Earth’s surface act as a wave guide channeling earthquake waves into downtown Los Angeles. It has been shown that the ground motions one can expect could be a factor of four larger than what earthquake hazard models predict. This difference may significantly increase da |
