How
did we pick these web sites?
National Information Service for Earthquake Engineering (NISEE) - Earthquake Image Collections, Earthquake Engineering Abstracts, a bibliographic database covering the world literature in earthquake engineering; information on major earthquakes; computer applications; links to online Materials.
Library of Congress American Memory - use SEARCH to look for historical pictures of earthquake damage. You will also get links to historical documents about earthquakes.
National Earthquake Information Center - search for earthquakes based on location and date. Technical level: moderate
USGS Publications Warehouse - a good entry point into the on-line publications of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology - a university research consortium dedicated to exploring the Earth's interior through the collection and distribution of seismographic data.
IRIS - animations of fault motion intended for simple demonstrations.
Earthquakes by Bruce Bolt -- the publisher's web site to accompany the text. (The web site is for the 4th edition. The material matches well with the 5th edition if you watch for the reordering of the chapters.)
The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) - leading research institution where more than 200 research scientists seek fundamental knowledge about the origin, evolution and future of the natural world.
All about faults - University of Leeds, School of Earth and Environment
Glossary of terms used in seismology (NORSAR) - NORSAR is an independent research foundation in Norway specializing in commercial software solutions and research activities within applied geophysics and seismology.
Digital Library of Earth System Education - a distributed community effort involving educators, students, and scientists working together to improve the quality, quantity, and efficiency of teaching and learning about the Earth system at all levels.
MCEER - a national center of excellence dedicated to the discovery and development of new knowledge, tools and technologies that equip communities to become more disaster resilient in the face of earthquakes and other extreme events. MCEER accomplishes this through a system of multidisciplinary, multi-hazard research, education and outreach initiatives. Headquartered at the University at Buffalo, MCEER comprises a consortium of researchers and industry partners from numerous disciplines and institutions throughout the United States. The Center's mission has expanded from its original focus on earthquake engineering to one which addresses the technical and socio-economic impacts of a variety of hazards, both natural and man-made, on critical infrastructure, facilities, and society.
