NEW PAPER ALERT!!!!: Site Response of Sedimentary Basins and other Geomorphic Provinces in Southern California

This is a flagship paper that presents our work investigating updates to the way we characterize seismic site response in sedimentary basins of varying size, as well as non-basin areas. The paper details our efforts which resulted in changes to the mean estimates and associated variability as it relates to ground motion hazards, going beyond … Read More
