Researchers model costliest earthquake in history in downtown, LA

Article Abstract:

The details of the earthquake scenarios, developed by researchers from United States Geological Survey (UGS), and Southern California Earthquake Center of University of Southern California, of the Puente Hills Fault, located just below Los Angeles, are presented. It is being assumed that any damage occurring to the fault as a result of an earthquake, could lead to a loss of $252 billion. The purpose of the research is to provide suggestions relating to providing emergency management services.

Researchers study lake Tahoe earthquake faults

Article Abstract:

The details of the research work carried out in Lake Tahoe by researchers from University of San Diego, San Diego State University and the University of Nevada, are presented. The research involves studying underwater faults, and predicting possibilities of a tsunami strike in future. For this purpose, researchers are developing technology that uses sound to create images of the rock layers, along the faults.
