SCEC researchers have produced several types of earthquake and ground motion movies and animations. SCEC Visualization groups include SDSC, PSC, ISI, USC, and SCEC Interns.

Examples of SCEC Earthquake Animations

Thumbnail Animation Number Animation Short Name Animation Description
Fig 1: Puente Hills Earthquake Animation Movie (Image Credit: Robert Graves (USGS), Amit Chourasia Steve Cutchin (SDSC))
Animation_1 TeraShake 2.1 Simulation with Narration Overview of the earthquake hazards using TeraShake ground motion simulation. Animation shows both map-based views and volume-based visualizations of wavefield.Tera

Animation_1 Puente Hills Wave Propagation Simulation Animation showing the propagation of ground motions across the Los Angeles Basin.

Animation_2 M8 Map View Animation showing the M8 California earthquake rupture in a map view format.
Fig 3: M8 Velocity Mag as Height Field (Image Credit: Amit Chourasia Steve Cutchin Yifeng Cui (SDSC), Kim Olsen (SDSU)
Animation_3 M8 Perspective Animation showing the north to south M8 California earthquake rupture, with a perspective above the fault. The amplitude of the ground motion is shown as exaggerated topography. The animation shows a seismic shock waves is formed at the rupture front, and a strong stopping pulse as the rupture ends south of the Salton Sea.

Animation_4 Shakeout Map View ShakeOut earthquake animation showing ground motions in a map view.
Fig 5: ShakeOut Earthquake from Long Beach (Image Credit: Brad Aagaard, Amit Chourasia Steve Cutchin (SDSC), Mark Benthien (SCEC)
Animation_5 Shakeout_Long_Beach_Perspective ShakeOut earthquake animation showing ground motions from the perspective of a site in Long Beach California. The animation shows the ground motions approaching from the south, then long lasting long period motions throughout the city.

Animation_7 GlyphSea Narrated Animation of M8 Narrated animation showing GlyphSea vector visualization technique applied to M8 ground motion simulation data.
Fig 8: La Habra Earthquake at Fullerton (Image Credit: Philip Maechling (SCEC))
Animation_8 EQ_LaHabra_Site_Fullerton Simulation showing the effects of ground motions on objects in Fullerton, about 15km from epicenter of La Habra Earthquake. The animation was created by retrieving the observed ground motions from a Fullerton strong motion station for the La Habra earthquake, then inputting these seismograms into a scene containing everyday objects, and used a physics-engine to show the results of the ground motions on the objects.
