During the past two decades, earthquakes have caused more than one million fatalities with an average of around 2000 death per event. Other severe outcome such as injuries, loss of assets and livelihood, as well as disruption of infrastructure and societal function also follow each event of earthquake.
Here we aim to analyze and visualize earthquakes in United States using data from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and develop an interactive user interface that enable users to interact with the data. We aim to integrate a streamlined method for researchers to access filtered/processed data to facilitate research in earthquake analysis through our UI. Models for estimating flood consequences or even deployment of emergency response structures in urban areas has been explored. To increase social influences, we will also work on building models estimating loss/consequences of earthquakes, combining with other social factors.
