A major problem in assessing macroseismic intensity from historical records is the lack of a standardized procedure for processing documentary sources and supplying unequivocal intensity estimates.

Instrumental intensity as a tool for post-earthquake damage assessment: validation for the strong Vrancea earthquakes of August 1986 and May 1990 [PDF]
The frequency-dependent spectrum based seismic intensity, also called instrumental intensity, is calculated basically from the integration of the square values of spectral acceleration ordinates. The values of the instrumental intensity are calibrated to

Ground motion and macroseismic intensities of a seismic event related to geothermal reservoir stimulation below the city of Basel—observations and modelling [PDF]
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.

Reducing the subjectivity of intensity estimates: the Fuzzy Set approach
We describe a method for the encoding and the computer analysis of the macroseismic effects deduced from historical sources allowing the complete formalization of the process of seismic intensity assessment.

Results from a detailed analysis of the French macroseismic database SIRENE96 show that geomechanical site effects (i.e. site effects due to superficial geology) can be statistically detected and quantified from macroseismic data. Our results are used to derive a predictive map of potential site effects in France and to check if site effects induce a ...

Generators of Seismic Events and Losses: Scenario-based Insurance Optimization [PDF]
A principal difficulty in insuring catastrophic risks is the insufficiency of disaggregated historical data on the catastrophe losses. The lack of data and complex spatial and dynamic interdependencies between catastrophic events imply the necessity to ...

Bayesian Estimation of Macroseismic Intensity from Post-Earthquake Rapid Damage Mapping
The seismological community acknowledges the essential contribution of macroseismic assessment to the compilation of the seismic catalogs used for seismic hazard assessment.

Macroseismology: the lessons learnt from the 1997/98 Colfiorito seismic sequence
The seismic sequence of the Umbria-Marche Apennines was a dramatic moment for the population involved; at the same time, it provided a unique occasion for the Italian scientific community and for the national civil protection to assess their respective ...

In low-to-moderate seismicity (intraplate) regions where locally recorded strong motion data are too scare for conventional regression analysis, stochastic simulations based on seismological modelling have often been used to predict ground motions of ...
