Intermountain West Earthquakes in the Spring of 2020
The Intermountain West region of the United States experienced several moderate-to-strong earthquakes in the spring of 2020. The most significant of these were the 18 March 2020 Mw 5.7 earthquake north of Magna, Utah (a suburb of Salt Lake City), the 31 March 2020 Mw 6.5 earthquake northwest of Stanley, Idaho and the 15 May 2020 Mw 6.5 Monte Cristo Range earthquake, northwest of Tonopah, Nevada. This session seeks contributions on all aspects of these earthquake sequences including geologic, geodetic and seismological studies on topics such as earthquake source properties, near-field ground motions, surface rupture, damage assessments, aftershock forecasting, seismic hazard implications and seismotectonics.
