Thicker sediments under Salt Lake could result in more intense ground shaking
The sediments underlying the Salt Lake Valley are thicker in places than previously thought, indicating that current seismic hazard models likely underestimate the amount of shaking Utah's population center could experience in future earthquakes, according to new research led by University of Utah seismologists.
