Environmental effects and ESI-07 intensity of the Mw 7.7, September 19th, 2022, Michoacán, Mexico, earthquake [PDF]

Engineering Geology
Most seismic risk assessments primarily focus on the impact of ground acceleration on infrastructure. However, in Mexico, along with numerous countries in Latin America and beyond, a significant portion of earthquake risk stems from secondary ...

Use of the ESI-2007 scale to evaluate the 2003 Boumerdès earthquake (North Algeria)

Annals of Geophysics, 2016
In this study, we applied the environmental seismic intensity (ESI-2007) scale to a major recent Algerian earthquake. The ESI-2007 scale is an effective tool to assess the seismic hazard and has been applied to onshore earthquakes.

A mechanism to explain soil liquefaction environmental effects during an earthquake

, 2023
Abstract Soil liquefaction has potentially devastating consequences for infrastructures and endangers human lives. The mechanisms used to explain the above-ground environmental effects of soil liquefaction during and after an earthquake stops require a set of conditions seldom observed in situ

Exploiting earthquake-induced landslide inventories for macroseismic assessment using the environmental seismic intensity (ESI-07) scale

Frontiers in Earth Science
Earthquake-induced landslides are one of the most impacting effects triggered by seismic events and represent a relevant risk factor. Inventories of earthquake-induced landslides are available for many case histories and may contain thousands of elements.
