On the Origin of Orphan Tremors and Intraplate Seismicity in Western Africa
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 On September 5–7, 2018, a series of tremors were reported in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja. These events followed a growing list of tremors felt in the stable intraplate region, where earthquakes are not expected. Here, we review available seismological,

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 Abstract Seismicity of Iraqi western desert and surroundings was investigated using a complete and unified magnitude earthquake catalog covering the interval from 1900 to 2017. A marked rise in number of the events in the study area was observed after the year 2000 compared to the previous years. The magnitude of majority of the recorded

Persistent deformation in a post-collisional stable continental region: insights from 20 years of cGPS in Romania [PDF]
Solid EarthThe Carpathian Region, located at the edge of the East European Platform, presents a unique tectonic setting where major deformation associated with subduction and collision appears to have ceased around 8 million years ago.

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

Intraplate seismicity and zonation
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1996 Significant intraplate earthquakes have been observed under deep oceans and in all continents except Greenland. They present special problems of seismic risk estimation compared to the more frequent interplate earthquakes. Their location in space and time is more uncertain because of the low seismicity rate, scattered locations, and lack of surface ...

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 The genesis of intraplate seismicity remains a topic of debate among seismologists. Here, we address this issue by investigating shear wave velocity contrast across the Moho (δβM) in the Deccan volcanic-covered Kachchh seismogenic region, located in the ...

Rheological control of Wadati-Benioff zone seismicity [PDF]
, 1988 Intermediate and deep focus earthquakes in Wadati-Benioff zones are thought to occur in the cold interiors of downgoing slabs which are significantly stronger than the warmer mantle.

Australian paleoseismology: towards a better basis for seismic hazard estimation
Annals of Geophysics, 2003 Probabilistic seismic hazard analyses in Australia rely fundamentally on the assumption that earthquakes recorded in the past are indicative of where earthquakes will occur in the future.
