Collaborative USGS-NEES Earthquake Hazard Studies in the Reno-Carson City Urban Corridor, Nevada (NEES-2010-0870)

<p><strong>Title:</strong> Collaborative USGS-NEES Earthquake Hazard Studies in the Reno-Carson City Urban Corridor, Nevada (NEES-2010-0870)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2013</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>The overall goal of this experiment is to provide high-resolution images of the sediment structure in the Truckee Meadows Basin and vicinity (Reno-Carson City, Nevada, June 2009). The Reno-Carson City work will provide key constraints on earthquake hazard assessments in this large, at-risk area and lead to improved earthquake ground motion simulations that earthquake engineers could use to assess potential losses.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong> N/A</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>William Stephenson</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>June 08, 2009 - June 21, 2009</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>U.S. Geological Survey, University of Texas at Austin, TX, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>University of Texas at Austin, TX, United States</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>USGS through NEHRP</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Seismic reflection, vibroseis, Nevada,Thumper, Compressional Wave, earthquake hazards</p> <p><strong>Publications: </strong>R.
