Location of Nenana BasinResearch explains strength of earthquake shaking in Nenana Basin

Earthquakes in the Nenana Basin region of Interior AVÀÇÂÛ̳ last longer and feel much stronger than a quake of comparable magnitude would in a nonbasin region, due to the behavior of the seismic waves once they reach the area. That’s because the seismic waves get amplified as they bounce back and forth off the sides and bottom of the sedimentary basin, which is deeper than Denali is high and contains millions of years of fill material. Research about the Nenana Basin conducted by former University of AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Fairbanks Ph.D. student Kyle Smith was published in December in theÌý.
