Seafloor geodetic constraints on interplate coupling of the Nankai Trough megathrust zone [PDF]
Interplate megathrust earthquakes have inflicted catastrophic damage on human society. An extremely hazardous megathrust earthquake is predicted to occur along the Nankai Trough off southwestern Japan, an economically active and densely populated area with historical records of megathrust earthquakes.

Ground motion earthquake scenario parameters for the 2009 Abruzzo earthquake [PDF]
The evaluation of the seismic action, which the structures must withstand, is the most critical item of the full process of analysis, monitoring and mitigation of seismic risk. Seismic action has been recorded worldwide for moderate to severe earthquakes. In the last 30 years the recorded accelerations have been significantly increased.

Deterministic full-scenario analysis for maximum credible earthquake hazards
Great earthquakes are one of the major threats to modern society due to their great destructive power and unpredictability. The maximum credible earthquake (MCE) for a specific fault, i.e., the largest magnitude earthquake that may occur there, has ...

Testing the Potential of Deep Learning in Earthquake Forecasting [PDF]
Reliable earthquake forecasting methods have long been sought after, and so the rise of modern data science techniques raises a new question: does deep learning have the potential to learn this pattern? In this study, we leverage the large amount of earthquakes reported via good seismic station coverage in the subduction zone of Japan.

Constructions of earthquake scenarios based on virtual simulations
Abstract The earthquake is an emergency with low probability and high risk. Constructing a real earthquake disaster scene can be used for earthquake emergency exercises, and timely inspection of escape, self-rescue and mutual rescue, and government decision-making deficiencies.

Scenario-based earthquake damage assessment of highway bridge networks
In earthquake-prone regions, the evaluation of seismic impacts on bridges is crucial to mitigation, emergency, and recovery planning for highway networks. The degree of bridge damage determines the cost and time required for repairs and the level of post-

An Immersive Virtual Reality Serious Game to Enhance Earthquake Behavioral Responses and Post-earthquake Evacuation Preparedness in Buildings [PDF]
Enhancing the earthquake behavioral responses and post-earthquake evacuation preparedness of building occupants is beneficial to increasing their chances of survival and reducing casualties after the main shock of an earthquake. Traditionally, training approaches such as seminars, posters, videos or drills are applied to enhance preparedness.

Abstract A changing climate is altering ecosystem carbon dynamics with consequences for natural systems and human economies, but there are few tools available for land managers to meaningfully incorporate carbon trajectories into planning efforts. To address uncertainties wrought by rapidly changing conditions, many practitioners adopt resistance and ...
