  • Seismic analysis for Pohnpei Island, Federated States of Micronesia

    Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the seismic hazards that can affect Pohnpei Island and provide estimates of the ground motion parameters. The primary parameters are peak ground acceleration (PGA), pseudo-spectral acceleration (PSA), and velocity. These values were determined both probabilistically and deterministically to illustrate the overall seismic hazard to Pohnpei Island. A review was conducted of the technical literature to determine geologic studies that have been performed for characterization of the island’s volcanism, stratigraphy, and tectonism. This report is a desktop study that examines the tectonism of the region, the geology of the island, its geologic history, and its seismic record. No liquefaction areas or tsunami hazards were identified by researchers on the island.
