▪ Abstract Continental North America's greatest earthquake sequence struck on the western
frontier of the United States. The frontier was not then California but the valley of the …

Regional variations of the intrinsic shear wave quality factor Qµ in both the upper crust and
upper mantle of continents are large, with values in old, stable cratons exceeding those in …

The structure of the earth has been extensively studied using seismic waves generated by
natural earthquakes and man-made sources. In classical seismology, the earth is …

For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic,
and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook …

Seismic measurements take many forms, and appear to have a universal role in the Earth
Sciences. They are the means for most easily and economically interpreting what lies …

A vital component of any seismic hazard analysis is a model for predicting the expected
distribution of ground motions at a site due to possible earthquake scenarios. The limited …

The sizes of three major or great historical earthquakes are reassessed using the isoseismal-
area-regression tools developed in Parts I and II of this study of stable continental region …

We present a new method to estimate stable seismic source parameters, such as energy,
moment, and Orowan stress drop, using regional coda envelopes from as few as one …

Earthquakes are nearly unique among natural phenomena-they affect virtually everything
within a region, from massive buildings and bridges, down to the furnishings within a home …

Seismic wave attenuation was measured in New England from the time domain decay of
coda wave amplitudes on narrow bandpass-filtered seismograms of local earthquakes. The …
