• Abstract:
  This project was requested with the objectives of reviewing available seismic hazard assessments, analyzing the seismic hazard on a county-by-county basis, analyzing the recent seismicity and its implications for seismic hazard in the state, and making recommendations for seismic hazard monitoring. The study also includes an intercomparison of methodologies used for determining the shear wave velocity in surface unconsolidated sediments, which significantly affects the ground motion shaking levels in the probabilistic seismic hazard assessments.
