John Louie, professor of seismology, co-authored two articles with his graduate students in the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, and others from Lawrence Livermore Lab, UNLV, and New Mexico Tech, in the June 2006 issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America. These articles describe the first measurements of soil susceptibility to earthquake shaking ever carried out along detailed transects, across the Las Vegas and Los Angeles urban areas. This research was sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior, under USGS award numbers 03HQGR006D and 05HQGR0078; and by the University of California Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under the auspices of the U.S. Dept. of Energy.
