About us
Temblor, Inc. is a catastrophe modeling company specializing in seismic hazard and risk assessment. Founded in 2014 by former USGS scientists Ross Stein and Volkan Sevilgen, Temblor’s mission is to raise awareness of seismic risk. We serve the public, the insurance, reinsurance, and insurance-linked security communities, and mortgage lenders. Temblor is different from other catmodelers. Our models build on recent published and independently-tested scientific analyses to provide an independent, unbiased, and transparent assessment of risk. Our products include dynamic hazard and loss forecasts after large earthquakes; the first globally consistent insurance loss model; stochastic event sets; and the highest-resolution global site amplification model available today. Additionally, we calculate a building-level Temblor Earthquake Score, which folds in all factors that impact loss into one number for risk pricing and selection. Temblor provides the public with accurate, accessible, and understandable information about earthquakes. Temblor Earthquake News (temblor.net/earthquake-news, and twitter.com/temblor) publishes breaking earthquake news, in-depth analyses, and expert reporting on the latest developments in natural hazards. Our articles are written by scientists, science journalists, and leading international researchers.

On December 5, 2024, at 10:44 a.m. local time, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck along the Pacific-Juan de Fuca Transform. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), this earthquake occurred about 100 kilometers southwest of Ferndale, California near a geologically complicated place — the Mendocino triple junction. The triple junction marks the meeting of the Pacific, North American and Juan de Fuca tectonic plates. Data suggest that this was a strike-slip event. This is a seismically active region, with the 2022 magnitude 6.4 Ferndale event being the last significant earthquake. We will update this post with a link to our detailed analysis as soon as its available.

In Costa Rica, OVSICORI Universidad Nacional maintains an ever-growing catalog of earthquakes detected digitally in the region. In Temblor's latest, director Esteban J. Chaves. PhD. presents the catalog, discusses some of the public-facing work that's been done, and talks about how the catalog has changed over time. In particular, he shares how data like these are a way to connect with the public over common misconceptions, like earthquake seasonality. https://lnkd.in/e4QDaUqi

When an earthquake strikes, how do caregivers in hospitals respond? Should a surgeon cease their delicate work? What to do about all those beds on wheels? Researchers are exploring these questions and more by looking at how hospital systems in Mexico and the US integrate earthquake early warnings. Find out more in this Temblor piece, by extern Montana Denton. https://lnkd.in/gJ2G4Mue

ICYMI, here's Ross S. Stein's and Peter Bird's Temblor piece explaining their set of articles in Seismological Society of America's #SRL on a fascinating observation: that the largest continental earthquakes seem to nucleate not on the major fault, but smaller branch faults. https://lnkd.in/g6G4RN3s

In Temblor's latest, writer Becca Owen explores Earthquake Fatality Load (or EQFL), presented by a team from ICES Foundation in #BSSA via Seismological Society of America. In this article, Owen talks to Max Wyss about what EQFL is, and why this metric is helpful when considering which countries are most vulnerable to earthquakes. https://lnkd.in/gYVbmNnN

Congratulations to Temblor CEO Ross S. Stein, who has been awarded AGU's Paul G. Silver Award for Outstanding Scientific Service for his significant contributions to the fields of geodesy, seismology, or tectonophysics!
Join us in recognizing four Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability affiliates being honored this year by AGU, the world's largest Earth and space science association 🌟 Associate Professors Alexandra Konings (Earth system science) and Dustin Schroeder (geophysics) have both received the James B. Macelwane Medal, given to early career scientists in recognition of their significant contributions to Earth and space science. Geophysics Professor Eric Dunham has been named one of the 2024 Union Fellows, which includes AGU members who have made exceptional contributions to Earth and space science through a breakthrough, discovery, or innovation in their field. Geophysics lecturer Ross S. Stein has been awarded the Paul G. Silver Award for Outstanding Scientific Service, which recognizes significant contributions to the fields of geodesy, seismology, or tectonophysics. Congratulations to all!
