Abstract: Research and monitoring
findings are essential to fulfilling
USGS’s responsibility under the
Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act to
develop earthquake hazard assessments
and recording earthquake activity
nationwide. Residents, emergency
responders, and engineers rely on the
USGS for this accurate and scientifically
sound information. The Earthquake
Hazards Program funds external
investigators to carry out these
important activities. In response to our
Program Announcements investigators
submit proposals for research and
monitoring activities on earthquake
hazard assessments, earthquake causes
and effects, and earthquake monitoring.
This information is used as the basis for
selection and award of projects meeting
the USGS’s Earthquake Hazards
Program objectives. Final reports of
research and monitoring findings are
required for each funded proposal;
annual progress reports are required for
awards of a two- to five-year duration.
Final reports are made available to the
public at the website http://
earthquake.usgs.gov/research/external/.
Title of Collection: Earthquake
Hazards Program Research and
Monitoring.
