Macroseismic data for Carpathian earthquakes from 1912 till 1934

Bulletin of the Institute of Geology and Seismology, 2022
The article presents the collected and processed macroseismic data for the strong Carpathian earthquakes historically observed on the Republic of Moldova territory in the 10-30s of the XХ century: May 25 and June 7, 1912, November 23, 1928, November 1, 1929 and March 29, 1934. The collected data have been used to plot the isoseismal maps of all seismic

Seismic Hazard Estimates Using Ill-defined Macroseismic Data at Site

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2002
— A new approach is proposed to the seismic hazard estimate based on documentary data concerning local history of seismic effects. The adopted methodology allows for the use of “poor” data, such as the macroseismic ones, within a formally coherent approach that permits overcoming a number of problems connected to the forcing of available information in

Integrated transnational macroseismic data set for the strongest earthquakes of Vrancea (Romania)

Tectonophysics, 2013
A unique macroseismic data set for the strongest earthquakes occurring since 1940 in the Vrancea region is constructed by a thorough review of all available sources. Inconsistencies and errors in the reported data and in their use are also analysed.

A user-centered WWW application for macroseismic data dissemination and rapid re-use

Proceedings of the working conference on Advanced visual interfaces, 1998
The paper discusses a concrete WWW application providing historical seismicity data of the Italian area. The application is user-centered in that it makes data available through working metaphors adopted by domain experts who cooperated in interface prototyping and testing.

On the estimation of focal depth from macroseismic data*

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1941
Abstract It has long been known that deep earthquakes are felt more widely, for a given epicentral intensity, than shallow. Several attempts have been made to express this tendency in precise form for the estimation of focal depth. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the shortcomings of the formulas that have been tried and certain ...

Macroseismic data as information on source parameters of large earthquakes

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1972
Abstract The ellipticity of the first isoseismal is used to determine the horizontal extent of several earthquake sources. Anomalies of intensity near the source are used to determine the shallowest depth of the rupture, and the remaining isoseismals allow an estimate of the “normal” or average depth of the rupture.

The determination of earthquake location and magnitude from macroseismic data in Europe

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2014
This paper describes how the earthquake parameters of historical earthquakes have been determined in Europe from macroseismic data by means of the so-called “Boxer” method, in the frame of the European Commission 2009–2012 Project SHARE (Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe). The problems related to the assessment of magnitude are described with more

Hazard mapping based on macroseismic data considering the influence of geological conditions

Natural Hazards, 1997
The object of this study is to consider directly the influence of regional geological conditions on the assessment of seismic hazard. It is assumed that macroseismic data at individual locations contain, in an average way, the influence of geological conditions.

Epistemic Uncertainty in the Location and Magnitude of Earthquakes in Italy from Macroseismic Data

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2011
Three independent techniques (Bakun and Wentworth, 1997; Boxer from Gasperini et al. , 1999; and Macroseismic Estimation of Earthquake Parameters [MEEP; see [Data and Resources][1] section, deliverable D3] from R.M.W. Musson and M.J. Jimenez) have been proposed for estimating an earthquake location and magnitude from intensity data alone. The locations

Statistical data depth for clustering macroseismic fields

2015
The size of historical earthquakes is given by the macroseismic intensity, an ordinal variable expressed by different scales and closely related to the effects produced by an earthquake on humans, buildings and natural environment. The collection of intensity values recorded at sites in the area surrounding the seismic source constitutes the ...
