Abstract We use an innovative geophysical approach to reconstruct the deep structure of Campo Felice, an important extensional basin in the central Apennines (Italy) where active crustal extension is accommodated by normal faults capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude MW 6+.

Abstract Beavers (Castor canadensis) alter river corridor hydrology by creating ponds and inundating floodplains, and thereby improving surface water storage. However, the impact of inundation on groundwater, particularly in mountainous alluvial floodplains with permeable gravel/cobble layers overlain by a soil layer, remains uncertain.

1D and 2D site amplification effects at Tarcento (Friuli, NE Italy), 30years later [PDF]
A temporary accelerometer network has been installed in Tarcento (Friuli, NE Italy), a small town heavily hit by the 1976-1977 Friuli earthquake sequence, as a part of an ongoing research project aimed at ground motion simulation and generation of ...

Application of a characteristic periods-based (CPB) approach to estimate earthquake-induced displacements of landslides through dynamic numerical modelling [PDF]
The interaction between seismic waves and slopes is an important topic to provide reliable scenarios for earthquake-(re)triggered landslides. The physical properties of seismic waves as well as slope topography and geology can significantly modify the ...

Evaluating Seismic Ambient Noise Techniques for Detecting Ice‐Bearing Rocks on the Moon
Abstract One of the primary objectives of upcoming lunar missions is to locate ice‐bearing rocks at the South Pole. While evidence for their presence exists, the exact distribution and quantity remain uncertain. In this study, we evaluate the potential of seismic ambient noise techniques—including seismic interferometry, H/V spectral ratios ...

The role of slope instability on directional site effects observed at Fekruna Bay, Malta [PDF]
The Maltese Archipelago is situated in the Mediterranean Sea, about 290 km NE of Tunisia and 90 km South of Sicily. It consists of three major islands: Malta and Gozo, the southerly and northerly islands respectively, and Comino which lies in the Comino ...

We address two open questions concerning nonlinear soil behavior in a seismic hazard and risk context; (1) which site proxies can be used to predict and map nonlinear site amplification? (2) At which level of ground‐motion intensity should such nonlinear models be considered?

Notranja oksidacija Cu-C in Ag-C kompozitov [PDF]
The internal oxidation in copper-carbon and silver-carbon composites occurs when they are exposed to air or oxygen at high temperature. Solubility of carbon in copper or in silver is very low.

Abstract Degradation within a manmade earth embankment structure is often unobservable from the surface. In order to evaluate the structural integrity of earth embankment levees and dams and identify subsurface zones of weakness that may result in the future failures of such structures, various geophysical methods have been proposed as effective ...

Site characterization of Sikkim Himalaya using HVSR
The northeastern state of Sikkim lying in central segment of the Himalayan orogen is a seismically active region which was plagued by the recent 2011 Mw6.9 earthquake. Analysis of local earthquakes recorded at the recently deployed seismic network of 27 broadband seismic stations revealed seismogenic zone extending down to lower crustal depths with a ...
