H. H. Heaton

H. H. Heaton is a geophysicist and earthquake scientist known for studying the Earth's crust and fault lines. His work helps us understand how and why earthquakes happen, including the movement of faults and the buildup of stress leading to seismic events. By analyzing earthquake data and fault behavior, Heaton’s research improves earthquake prediction and risk assessment, contributing to safer infrastructure and better preparedness. His contributions are valuable for understanding seismic hazards and informing engineering practices and policies to reduce earthquake damage and protect communities.
