MTA is a research and consulting company specializing in paleoseismology, or the study of prehistoric earthquakes as preserved in the geologic record. MTA conducts paleoliquefaction and paleotsunami studies with the goals of estimating the timing, sources, magnitudes, and recurrence times of large earthquakes. The purpose of these studies is to define the earthquake potential of fault zones or source areas, crucial information in earthquake hazard assessments. MTA provides input to and reviews of geologic h
