Special Issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America on the 17 January 1994 Northridge Earthquake

这笔拨款是为美国地震学会准备专门报道1994年1月17日加利福尼亚北岭6.7级地震的《美国地震学会公报》特刊提供部分支持。南加州地震中心科学主任Keiiti Aki教授将担任本系列论文的特别编辑。这一期将于1996年2月出版。北岭地震是袭击美国的最昂贵的自然灾害，尽管与最近袭击美国或世界其他地区的地震相比，这次地震的规模并不特别大。然而，这次地震发生在一个高度城市化的地区。它还发生在一个地震学、大地测量学、地球物理和工程震后研究仪器齐全的地区。本期BSSA将为科学界和工程界提供有关北岭地震的数据、分析和结论的及时框架。该项目是国家减少地震灾害计划的一个组成部分。＊＊＊

9521050 Newman This grant is to provide partial support to the Seismological Society of America for preparation of a special issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America devoted to the January 17, 1994 Northridge, California, M=6.7 earthquake. Professor Keiiti Aki, Science Director of the Southern California Earthquake Center, will be the special editor for this series of papers. The issue will appear in February, 1996. The Northridge earthquake is the most costly natural disaster to strike the United States even though the size of the earthquake is not particularly large when compared to recent earthquakes that have struck the U.S. or other regions in the world. However, this earthquake occurred in a highly urbanized area. It also occurred in an area that is well instrumented for seismological, geodetic, geophysical and engineering post-earthquake studies. This issue of the BSSA will provide the scientific and engineering communities a timely framework for the data, analysis and conclusions regarding the Northridge earthquake. This project is a component of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program. ***
