Center for Earthquake Research and Information ceri overview CERI faculty and students carry out challenging and cutting-edge research programs at the forefront of earth science. Theoretical and observational studies take them to many places around the world. Seismic Hazard, Risk, and Earthquake Effects: Paleoseismic studies reconstruct earthquake chronologies. Studies of earthquake damage Earth Dynamics: patterns coupled with source, path, and site GPS geodetic monitoring of tectonic plate motion in South America and Antarctica, and of seismically active intraplate response research provides critical input to seismic hazard models. Shakemap provides regions. The morphology of active landscapes and what it rapid estimates of ground motion for reveals about active deformations and surface processes earthquake disaster responders. Historical that produce them in western Tibet and California. research documents physical and societal effects of large destructive earthquakes in Earth Structure and Composition: eastern North America. Detailed analysis of seismic waveforms clarifies the structure and transmission characteristics of the Earth’s crust. Theoretical and Instrumentation Advances: Tomographic, receiver function, reflection, refraction, and CERI researchers have developed models and surface wave studies reveal details of Earth structure in techniques to advance Earthquake science. enigmatic seismic zones. Earthquake and controlled High-sample-rate GPS seismology measures sources are used in both passive and active experiments. ground motion from the largest earthquakes. Deformation models facilitate the study of Earth strains. Our portable broadband and Earthquake Processes: accelerometer arrays reveal fundamental Our permanent seismic networks monitor the most active seismic zones in eastern North America. Our portable rapid characteristics of both linear and nonresponse instrumentation provides valuable data to deduce linear seismic wave propagation. rupture processes of earthquakes from India to Mt. St. Helens. Studies of earthquake triggering help to sort out Geophysical Systems and Intraplate the physics of earthquake nucleation and rupture. Source Zones: Geophysical, geodynamical, and geological data are integrated to test hypotheses concerning intraplate earthquake zones. CERI researchers investigarte novel methods of seismic monitoring using array seismology, borehole installations, and infrasound. Diverse geophysical data sets are combined to infer the physical state and tectonic processes www.ceri.memphis.edu within intraplate source zones.
