The Dependable Computing Systems Lab (DCSL) comprises students (graduate and undergraduate), post-doctoral researchers, and programming staff members within the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Computer Science, and two institute-wide centers – CERIAS (The Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security) and NSF supported NEEScomm (Network...

The pattern of energy release during the Imperial Valley, California, earthquake of 1940 is studied by analyzing the El Centro strong motion seismograph record and records from the Tinemaha seismograph station, 546 km from the epicenter. The earthquake was a multiple event sequence with at least 4 events recorded at El Centro in the first 25 seconds, followed by 9 events recorded in the next 5 ...

In this study, for supporting global rescue operations, we will propose a new earthquake damage detection method, based on a combination of earthquake damage estimation using earthquake information (magnitude, location of source, detailed ground condition, and attenuation equation for distance) and change detection by means of remote sensing data. First, to find collapsed buildings and houses o...
