A recent paper developed through the (Fault Displacement Hazard Initiative) research program, led by (Professor Yousef Bozorgnia), has been selected as the Editor’s Choice for the November 2025 issue of Earthquake Spectra, the premier journal in earthquake engineering.
The paper, authored by Alex Sarmiento in collaboration with members of the Fault Displacement Hazard Initiative, is titled “Comparisons of FDHI fault displacement models for principal and aggregate displacement.” It presents a comprehensive summary and comparison of a set of new fault displacement models to support practitioners applying the new models. This recognition highlights the impactful research being carried out by the Natural Hazards Risk and Resiliency Research Center.
The paper is available with free public access throughout November 2025 as part of the Earthquake Spectra Editor’s Choice Collection:
