Keeping the History in Historical Seismology: The 1872 Owens Valley, California Earthquake [PDF]
, 2008 The importance of historical earthquakes is being increasingly recognized. Careful investigations of key pre‐instrumental earthquakes can provide critical information and insights for not only seismic hazard assessment but also for earthquake science. In

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract The Ilyak fault in Tajikistan is an E‐W striking strike‐slip fault, which forms the northern boundary of the actively deforming Tajik Basin fold and thrust belt. Determining the activity of the Ilyak fault is important for understanding the hazard to the nearby capital city of Dushanbe, and more generally in assessing the role of lithology in ...

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 609-627, December 2025.ABSTRACT In this study, we provide the first field‐based assessment of the seismic potential of the Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains, Waikato region. Initially considered to be part of the nearby Kerepehi Fault, our new mapping and field data suggest the Te Puninga Fault is independent.

From written records to seismic parameters: the case of the 6 April 1667 Dalmatia earthquake
Geoscience Letters, 2016 On Wednesday 6 April 1667, an earthquake occurred, and severely affected a large area of the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, also known as southern Dalmatia, in today Croatia, and part of Montenegro.

USGS “Did You Feel It?”—Science and Lessons From 20 Years of Citizen Science-Based Macroseismology
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) “Did You Feel It?” (DYFI) system is an automatic method for rapidly collecting macroseismic intensity (MI) data from internet users’ shaking and damage reports and for generating intensity maps immediately following felt

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Macroseismic observations can be useful to study pre-instrumental earthquakes when paleoseismological analysis are not viable for various reasons (e.g., erosion or lack of sedimentation).

Ground motion and macroseismic intensities of a seismic event related to geothermal reservoir stimulation below the city of Basel—observations and modelling [PDF]
, 2017 To stimulate a geothermal reservoir below the city of Basel, Switzerland, fluid was injected in December 2006 at high pressure into a 5 km deep borehole.

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 12, Issue 4, October 2025.KNN achieved the highest performance (0.989) using the full dataset and 0.988 with ground‐based parameters. EBd and f0 were key contributors to damage, while PGA dominated strong‐motion models. Specificity consistently outperformed sensitivity in earthquake‐parameter models.

National borders earthquakes: an attempt at intensity maps unification
Annals of Geophysics, 1994 In this paper the problem of unification of macroseismic maps across national borders is discussed. Up to now some attempts in this way have been carried out, evidencing the difficulties present in such analysis.

Rupture of the 1949 Khait Earthquake on a Cryptic Fault: Implications for Earthquake Hazard
Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract The 1949 Mw 7.6 Khait earthquake, Tajikistan, was one of the most destructive of the Pamir—Tien Shan region, killing over 7,000 people by building collapse and landsliding. It occurred at the transition between the Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges, which converge along the narrow Vashkh river valley.
