Next-Generation EEW Empowered by NDSHA: From Concept to Implementation

Geosciences, 2021
In this paper, we discuss a possible combination of Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) and Neo-deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA), and propose a new warning model, EEW2.0. The aim is to provide a differentiated warning alert to various end-users

Earthquake slip surfaces identified by biomarker thermal maturity within the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake fault zone. [PDF]

, 2020
Extreme slip at shallow depths on subduction zone faults is a primary contributor to tsunami generation by earthquakes. Improving earthquake and tsunami risk assessment requires understanding the material and structural conditions that favor earthquake ...

Assessment of the peak tsunami amplitude associated with a large earthquake occurring along the southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone in the region of Taiwan [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
The southernmost portion of the Ryukyu Trench near the island of Taiwan potentially generates tsunamigenic earthquakes with magnitudes from 7.5 to 8.7 through shallow rupture. The fault model for this potential region dips 10° northward with a rupture

Earthquake risk buildings

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1981
The seismic provisions of the New Zealand Loadings Code are regarded as providing an acceptably low risk to life and property. However, the majority of existing buildings do not meet these requirements, some to a disturbing degree.
 The paper describes a selection of buildings both pre- and post- 1935 which were assessed by the authors' firm for ...

Quaternary Segmentation Characteristics of the Hunhe Fault, Northeast China

Applied Sciences
The northern segment of the Tanlu fault zone, which encompasses the Dunhua–Mishan and Yilan–Yitong fault zones, plays a critical role in the tectonic framework of Northeast China. This study focuses on the Hunhe fault, part of the Liaoning segment of the
