Exposing Los Angeles’s Shaky Geologic Underbelly

by R. W. Clayton, P. Persaud, M. Denolle and J. Polet 10 October 201928 October 2022

Current calculations might underestimate the susceptibility of Los Angeles to earthquake shaking, so researchers and volunteers are deploying seismic networks near the city to remedy a data shortage.

The magma system underneath Lipari is connected to a fault system formed by tectonic activity rather than to volcanoes.
