SCEC is a leader in research that integrates science results and new technologies into broad impact products to improve seismic hazard assessment. For instance, by designing and building CyberShake, our physics-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) software, we have redefined the state of the art for understanding and anticipating low-frequency (0–1 Hz) strong motions across most of California. We continue to take our SCEC physics-based computational software, including CyberShake, to the next level by extending its capabilities to resolve shaking estimates and related uncertainties across a broadband range of frequencies of engineering interest (i.e., 0–20 Hz). We conduct research as we implement new physical models and tools into software, and regularly validate our results against empirical datasets.
