Did you know that it is National Postdoc Appreciation Week #NPAW? For #ResearchFriday, we are focusing on the great work of our early career researchers! Currently we have four @USGS postdocs working to improve the #ShakeAlert system. Let the shout-outs begin! @USGS_Quakes
Dr. Noha Farghal has a Ph.D. in geophysics from @Stanford. Noha is working on incorporating fiber-optic sensors into the #ShakeAlert system. Check out her recent paper: The Potential of Using Dynamic Strains in Earthquake Early Warning Applications pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/articl…
.@UCLA Bruin Dr. Grace Parker studies ground shaking and works on models to better estimate ground motion in SoCal for #ShakeAlert & best practices for using @PEER_Center NGA-Subduction ground motion models for Cascadia in EEW algorithms.@UCLACivil @Garrickinstitut #PDAW2020
Dr. Jessie Saunders is investigating different alerting strategies for the #ShakeAlert system. Her aim is to reduce missed alerts: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/artic…
Jessie is also helping adapt the PLUM #EEW Method (from Japan) for use by #ShakeAlert. Here is how PLUM would have alerted for the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/artic…
And last but not least, Dr. Sara K. McBride, who works on all things related to how people interact with #ShakeAlert. She also co-leads the ShakeAlert Social Science Working Group. Here’s her latest paper on post-alert messaging: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
