Point-source to finite-fault distance conversions Point-source to finite-fault distance conversions

Produce approximated finite fault distances and variance corrections given point source information, e.g., Repi (epcentral distance) to Rrup (rupture distance).

Graizer-Kalkan (2015) Ground Motion Prediction Equation Graizer-Kalkan (2015) Ground Motion Prediction Equation

Graizer-Kalkan (2015) ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) is designed to predict peak-ground acceleration and 5% damped pseudo-spectral acceleration response ordinates for shallow-crustal continental earthquakes to be used in earthquake-engineering applications including probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard analyses.

SLAMMER - Seismic Landslide Movement Modeled using Earthquake Records SLAMMER - Seismic Landslide Movement Modeled using Earthquake Records

SLAMMER is a Java program that facilitates performing a variety of sliding-block analyses to evaluate seismic slope performance.

USGS Twitter Earthquake Dispatch (@USGSted) USGS Twitter Earthquake Dispatch (@USGSted)

@USGSted (USGS Twitter Earthquake Dispatch) distributes Twitter alerts for earthquakes worldwide with magnitudes of 5.5 and above. When citizens feel shaking activity, they often use the popular social media application, Twitter, to "tweet" what they are experiencing.

Risk-Targeted Ground Motion Calculator Risk-Targeted Ground Motion Calculator

This web application can be used to calculate risk-targeted ground motion values in accordance with “Method 2” of 2010 ASCE 7 Standard Section 21.2.1.2.

VISCO1D VISCO1D

VISCO1D-v3 is a program package to calculate quasi-static deformation on a layered spherical Earth from a specified input source (fault plane parameters) at specified points on the surface or at depth.

SeisRisk III SeisRisk III

Seisrisk III is the last published version of a series of programs used to produce probabilistic earthquake ground motion hazard maps for the United States from 1972 to 1992.

Slick Package Slick Package

The slick package uses fault slip data (either field observations or from focal mechamism) to find the stress tensor that best explains the observations. Inputs are the orientation and slip direction of a set of fault planes.
