High‐resolution seismic tomography of the 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake, Nepal: Evidence for the crustal tearing of the Himalayan rift

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
The Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake struck Nepal and ruptured the boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates. We conducted 2‐D Pg wave tomography to clarify the seismogenic structure and try to understand causal mechanisms for this large earthquake, using ...

Radiated energy estimations from finite‐fault earthquake slip models [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2014
AbstractRadiated seismic energy is expressed in terms of slip velocities by using an overdamped dynamics approximation. This formulation is used to estimate the radiated energy from earthquake finite‐fault models. A correction term is found to show that the approximation underestimates the radiated energy as defined by the full dynamics.

Current challenges for preseismic electromagnetic emissions: shedding light from micro-scale plastic flow, granular packings, phase transitions and self-affinity notion of fracture process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Are there credible electromagnetic (EM) EQ precursors? This a question debated in the scientific community and there may be legitimate reasons for the critical views.

Rupture Process of the 26 May 2019 Mw 8.0 Northern Peru Intermediate‐Depth Earthquake and Insights Into Its Mechanism

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
In the Nazca‐South American subduction zone, the subducted slab is flattened beneath northern Andes, called the Peruvian flat slab. The 2019 Mw 8.0 northern Peru intermediate‐depth normal‐faulting earthquake occurred at the leading edge of the Peruvian ...

Stress drops and radiated energies of aftershocks of the 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2003
We study stress levels and radiated energy to infer the rupture characteristics and scaling relationships of aftershocks and other southern California earthquakes. We use empirical Green functions to obtain source time functions for 47 of the larger (M ≥ 4.0) aftershocks of the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake (M6.7).

Garigliano nuclear power plant: seismic evaluation of the turbine building [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Italian Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) started its energy production in 1963. At present it is in the decommissioning stage. In order to get a proper management of the radioactive waste that will be produced during the dismantling operations it

The role of radiation damping in the modeling of repeated earthquake events

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2013
We have investigated the role of the radiation damping term (RDT) on repeated earthquake ruptures by modeling the faulting process through a single one-dimensional analog fault system governed by different constitutive laws.
