| Abstract | This project aims to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles (LA) Basin, critical for accurately estimating earthquake ground motion and assessing seismic hazard for this densely populated area. The LA metropolitan area sits above a deep sedimentary basin that significantly affects the level of ground shaking from local and regional earthquakes. The basin has a complex tectonic history of extension and compression and is also crosscut by numerous faults. This has resulted in a complicated |
