Abstract
Estimation of earthquake-induced motions in the marine environment is currently difficult for a variety of reasons. First, almost no seafloor ground-motion data exist for earthquake magnitudes greater than 3. Second, theoretical understanding of seismic wave propagation in the marine environment is incomplete. And third, it has not yet been clearly demonstrated how to extrapolate to a seafloor environment ground motions observed or predicted on land.
