High-resolution palynological analysis in Lake Sapanca as a tool to detect recent earthquakes on the North Anatolian Fault

, 2009
High-resolution palynological analysis of a 38-cm-long core collected from Lake Sapanca, northwest Turkey, reveals large earthquakes that occurred during the second half of the 20th century along the North Anatolian Fault Zone. Four events have disturbed

Dynamic Earthquake Ruptures in the Presence of Material Discontinuities [PDF]

, 2009
A general feature of tectonic faults is the juxtaposition of materials with dissimilar elastic properties in a variety of contexts and scales. Normal and reverse faults offset vertical stratifications, large strike-slip faults displace different crustal ...

The Amplification of Tsunamis by Mercury Bay, New Zealand

, 2012
The east coast of New Zealand is exposed to tsunami hazards, which are generated by both distant and near tsunamigenic sources. The impact of tsunami varies along the coast depending on the source region and the amount of local attenuation or ...

Effects of Near‐Fault Sedimentary Rocks and Damage on the 2019 Ridgecrest, CA Earthquake: A Rupture Impediment or a Ground Motion Booster?

Geophysical Research Letters
Observations of the 2019 magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest, California, earthquake indicate a relatively slow rupture (∼2 km/s). The fault is surrounded by sedimentary rocks and low‐velocity damage zones, which can amplify ground motions but also slow down ...

The May 29 2008 earthquake aftershock sequence within the South Iceland Seismic Zone: Fault locations and source parameters of aftershocks

The mid-Atlantic plate boundary breaks up into a series of segments across Iceland. The South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) is a complex transform zone where left-lateral E-W shear between the Reykjanes Peninsula Rift Zone and the Eastern Volcanic Zone is ...

Palaeolimnology of Lake Sapanca and identification of historic earthquake signals, Northern Anatolian Fault Zone (Turkey)

, 2009
Lake Sapanca is located on a strand of the Northern Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ, Turkey), where a series of strong earthquakes (Ms >6.0) have occurred over the past hundred years. Identifying prehistoric earthquakes in and around Lake Sapanca is key to a

Insights into Slip-Rate Time Functions, Rupture Parameter Correlations, and Ground Motions from Validated Multicycle Earthquake Ruptures

Earthquake strong-motion predictions using kinematic source modeling require knowledge of the slip-rate functions (SRFs) along the rupture and their distinct characteristics in asperities, background (off-asperity) areas and near the surface.
