Abstract

Today, Strong Motion Seismology is widely recognized as an effective bridge between earthquake information from earth sciences and the engineering practice for mitigating the earthquake hazard. This paper describes how this development of Strong Motion Seismology occurred in a relatively short time span of around three decades. We also discuss the emergence of the concept of the master model for a broader integration of earthquake information, of which Strong Motion Seismology is a key part, promoted at the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) in the past decade. We shall conclude the paper with a future perspective for Strong Motion Seismology.
