The typical minimum earthquake magnitude (Mmin) used in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is generally accepted to be about moment magnitude (M) 5.0 based on t [...]

Northwestern Peru is a highly seismically active region situated above the downgoing Nazca plate within the South America subduction zone. Historically, a total of 28 ear [...]

The Peru-Chile portion of the South America subduction zone is one of the most seismically active regions in the world and the source of some of the largest known earthqu [...]

A key assumption in standard probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is that earthquake occurrence can be modeled as a Poisson process (time-independent). For but a [...]

Yucca Mountain, Nevada has been recommended and approved for development as the site of the United States’ first permanent repository for the disposal of spent nuclear [...]

We have performed site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analyses (PSHA) for four sites in the Manila metropolitan area. The Philippine Islands lie within a broad zon [...]
