Book Synopsis Active Faulting and Seismic Hazards in Alaska by : Richard D. Koehler

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alaska is the most seismically active region of the United States and large, frequent earthquakes pose significant seismic hazards to the state’s infrastructure and inhabitants. Despite the risks associated with high rates of tectonic activity, geologic information on the relative activity of Quaternary faults is sparse. This report is designed to provide guidance for future earthquake research in Alaska, serve as a resource for seismic hazard studies, and complement the Alaska Quaternary fault database (Koehler and others, 2012a; Koehler, 2013). It summarizes the current state of knowledge pertaining to the paleoseismic characteristics of active faults throughout the state and represents the first comprehensive compilation of paleoseismic data for Alaska. The report is organized into eight seismic source regions, and includes unpublished observations from many active faults briefly visited during field campaigns associated with ongoing infrastructure studies of the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys. In a summary report of this nature, it is inevitable that some information might have been overlooked. Although additional future paleoseismic characterization of active faults is needed to adequately address seismic hazards and risk in the state, the information presented here contributes to the core charter of the Alaska Seismic Hazards Safety Commission by providing data that will ultimately lead to better hazard evaluations and mitigation practices.

Book Synopsis Review of the U.S. Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program by : National Research Council
Download or read book Review of the U.S. Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-07-26 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has more than 65 active or potentially active volcanoes, more than those of all other countries except Indonesia and Japan. During the twentieth century, volcanic eruptions in Alaska, California, Hawaii, and Washington devastated thousands of square kilometers of land, caused substantial economic and societal disruption and, in some instances, loss of life. More than 50 U.S. volcanoes have erupted one or more times in the past 200 years. Recently, there have been major advances in our understanding of how volcanoes work. This is partly because of detailed studies of eruptions and partly because of advances in global communications, remote sensing, and interdisciplinary cooperation. The mission of the Volcano Hazards Program (VHP) is to "lessen the harmful impacts of volcanic activity by monitoring active and potentially active volcanoes, assessing their hazards, responding to volcanic crises, and conducting research on how volcanoes work." To provide a fresh perspective and guidance to the VHP about the future of the program, the Geologic and Water Resources Divisions of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) requested that the National Research Council conduct an independent and comprehensive review. Review of the U. S. Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program is organized around the three components of hazards mitigation. Chapter 2 deals with research and hazard assessment. Chapter 3 covers monitoring and Chapter 4 discusses crisis response and other forms of outreach conducted by the VHP. Chapter 5 describes various cross-cutting programmatic issues such as staffing levels, data formats, and partnerships. Chapter 6 offers a vision for the future of the Volcano Hazards Program, and Chapter 7 summarizes the conclusions and recommendations of the preceding chapters. Throughout the report, major conclusions are printed in italics and recommendations in bold type. The committee has written this report for several different audiences. The main audience is upper management within the USGS and the VHP. However, the committee believes that scientists within the VHP will also find the report valuable. The report is written in such a manner as to be useful to congressional staff as well.

Book Synopsis Inventory and Preliminary Assessment of Geologic Hazards in the Passage Canal-Portage Valley Area, South-central Alaska by : Gabriel J. Wolken
Download or read book Inventory and Preliminary Assessment of Geologic Hazards in the Passage Canal-Portage Valley Area, South-central Alaska written by Gabriel J. Wolken and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The south-central region of Alaska is particularly susceptible to geologic hazards because of the region's complex, glacially-influenced terrain and considerable seismic activity. Many of these hazards are associated wtih unstable slopes that have the potential to rapidly mobilize, the result of which could be loss of life and significant damage to property and infrastructure with little or no warning. This study focuses on identifying and understanding the geologic processes that threaten the safety of people and infrastructure in the Passage Canal-Portage Valley area (including the town of Whittier), to better inform community planning, mitigation, and emergency response activities. This report is a preliminary summary of work in progress.
