The technical abstract paper highlights the odd behavior observed in the aftermath of the Taiwan earthquakes where stations on opposite ends of the same valley exhibit drastically different ground motion. This is believed to be due to strong directivity effects. Thank you to the GEER team and the GEER board for the opportunity to participate … Read More

We welcome our new members Danny, Sajan, and Rashid to the group as we begin their doctorate degree journeys.
This summer our research group had the pleasure of hosting Alex Quiachon, an incoming civil engineering freshman student from the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program hosted by USC Viterbi School of Engineering. Alex was tasked with performing field studies to determine the spatial distribution of site period at two earthquake strong motion recording stations (Tarzana … Read More
