Summary

This study involves a collection of peak ground motions from the 2018 Mw earthquake near Anchorage, as well as 44 intermediate-depth earthquakes with magnitudes greater than or equal to 4.9 earthquakes in the Cook Inlet region of southern Alaska. This study was intended to better understand the spatial patterns in amplifications related to site and basin effects. Further details can be found in the citation given below.
