The objective of this research program is to                                    investigate certain aspects of earthquake                                       strong ground motions that are relevant to                                      engineering research on earthquake hazard                                       reduction.                                                                                                                                                      The focus is on the prediction of strong                                        ground motions using geological and                                             geophysical information on the earthquake                                       source, the propagation path, and the local                                     site effects at the location where the                                          motions are recorded.  The research addresses                                   two topics:   The first is to predict the                                       strong ground motions that would occur as a                                     result of the rupture of the Mojave segment                                     of the San Andreas fault.  The second                                           addresses a key issue in strong ground motion                                   prediction; namely the development of                                           effective methods to determine the parameters                                   in proposed earthquake source models.                                                                                                                           Measured and estimated earthquake-induced                                       strong ground motions are the starting point                                    for engineering research into earthquake                                        hazard mitigation.  Some sort of estimate has                                   to be made of the expected ground shaking at                                    a particular site: this research is                                             addressing very promising approaches to                                         improvements on these estimates.  Thus this                                     research is expected to make a fundamental                                      contribution to improving the accuracy and                                      effectiveness of earthquake hazard                                              mitigation.
