Earthquake Hazards Program
The USGS monitors and reports on earthquakes, assesses earthquake impacts and hazards, and conducts targeted research on the causes and effects of earthquakes. We undertake these activities as part of the larger National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), a four-agency partnership established by Congress.

Compact seismicity bursts have different characteristics from regional seismicity Compact seismicity bursts have different characteristics from regional seismicity
Earthquakes tend to cluster, developing into sequences driven by stress perturbations and transient fault-zone processes. Depending on the driving process, earthquake sequences show differing behaviors. This variability challenges our ability to observe or distinguish these driving processes in high resolution. Here we systematically identify seismicity bursts throughout southern...
Constraining source and path effects of large magnitude earthquakes using ground motion simulations Constraining source and path effects of large magnitude earthquakes using ground motion simulations
The purpose of this study is to use ground‐motion simulations to investigate ways in which source and path effects for large‐magnitude earthquakes can be represented in nonergodic ground‐motion models (GMMs). To achieve this, we designed a ground‐motion study in the San Francisco Bay Area that includes earthquakes with a broad range of magnitudes distributed uniformly on a fault plane...

Geologic Mapping for Landscape Resiliency in California, Oregon, and Washington
This project uses geologic and geomorphic mapping in the context of societally relevant problems in the Earth’s critical zone. Leveraging interdisciplinary research ties and interagency collaborations, it utilizes remote sensing data, corroborated with field observations, to determine i) the spatial distribution of geomorphic processes and ages of Quaternary deposits in the context of active...

Mapping the grid: The United States Magnetotelluric Array
The United States has been mapped from space to the ground across its surface; however never from the perspective of the planet’s own electrical heartbeat. Over nearly two decades, the United States Magnetotelluric Array quietly marched across the country, station by station, building the first-ever electrical portrait of the crust and upper mantle beneath the contiguous U.S. An ambitious, multi...
2025 PRVI NSHM Rollout & User-Needs Meeting
In conjunction with publication of the 2025 Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI) National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM), the USGS National Seismic Hazard Model Project (NSHMP) will host a one-day public meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Additional meeting information, including a link to the registration form, is provided below.
