For some reason-and it may very well just be my personal bias-today's list has a lot of studies on active tectonics of the Americas and Central Asia. But then the western US and the Andes plus Central Asia make up a good portion of the total seismic moment release apart from subduction quakes, so perhaps this is not unusual. At some point I'd like to make a world map showing seismic moment release vs. number and distribution of scientific studies...Enjoy reading and please let me know if I've missed something.

Climate change is fueling an unprecedented number of extreme weather and climate disasters with dire consequences for human life and property. In the last decade, most counties across the United States have experienced multiple disaster events, including at least one federally declared disaster. States and local governments have a responsibility to adapt to these increasing disaster risks to improve community resilience and avoid an ever-growing magnitude of loss.
