Cover Story: Unveiling northern Los Angeles' subsurface structure, the Basin Amplification Seismic INvestigation (BASIN) project employed a dense nodal seismic array across multiple basins. Sedimentary basin configuration significantly shapes seismic wave dynamics, potentially intensifying ground shaking and hazards during earthquakes. Utilizing 758 nodal seismometers strategically placed along linear transects in the San Bernardino, Chino, and San Gabriel basins, the study applied teleseismic receiver function techniques to expose intricate basin structures with unprecedented detail. BASIN's high lateral resolution revealed significant changes near faults such as San Jacinto, Fontana, Red Hill, and Indian Hill, promising to reshape our understanding of seismic hazards and ground motion dynamics in earthquake-prone regions. View this paper
