Geological and Historical‐Based Approaches to Define Scenario Earthquake: Case‐Studies and Application at Municipality‐Scale in Italy

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 15, Page 3828-3845, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study compares two approaches for determining earthquake magnitude (M) and source‐to‐site distance (R) to assess seismic scenarios in Italy. The first method relies on geological criteria from the Italian seismogenic sources database (DISS3.3.0), while the second method uses historical earthquakes from the DBMI‐CPTI15 Italian catalogue ...

The Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains: a new seismic source in the low seismicity northern region of New Zealand

open access: yesNew 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.

A predictive model for household displacement duration after disasters

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 4289-4317, December 2025.
Abstract According to recent Household Pulse Survey data, roughly 1.1% of households were displaced due to disasters in the United States in recent years. Although most households returned relatively quickly, 20% were displaced for longer than 1 month, and 14% had not returned by the time of the survey.

Reassessment of the historical seismic activity with major impact on S. Miguel Island (Azores) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2003
On account of its tectonic setting, both seismic and volcanic events are frequent in the Azores archipelago. During the historical period earthquakes and seismic swarms of tectonic and/or volcanic origin have struck S.

Modelling the Importance of Ground and Strong‐Motion Variables on the Damage Status in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes Using Supervised Machine Learning

open access: yesGeoscience 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.

Procedure to estimate maximum ground acceleration from macroseismic intensity rating: application to the Lima, Perú data from the October-3-1974-8.1-Mw earthquake [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Geosciences, 2008
Post-disaster reconstruction management of urban areas requires timely information on the ground response microzonation to strong levels of ground shaking to minimize the rebuilt-environment vulnerability to future earthquakes. In this paper, a procedure

The intensity attenuation of Colfiorito and other strong earthquakes: the viewpoint of forecasters and data gatherers

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2008
This article has been originated by thoughts on previous analyses related to the proba- bilistic treatment of the macroseismic attenuation, from which it turns out that in Italian territory the intensity decay I varies greatly from one region to another,

Rupture of the 1949 Khait Earthquake on a Cryptic Fault: Implications for Earthquake Hazard

open access: yesTectonics, 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.

An analytic method for separating local from regional effects on macroseismic intensity

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1995
nterpretation of macroseismic data is hazardous, due to its qualitative nature. This, linked with errors in eval- uation,) and the variations of local intensity, makes it difficult to draw valid conclusions.

Observational Seismic Fragility Models for Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Based on Building‐by‐Building Damage Data From the 2012 Emilia Earthquakes

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 11, Page 2927-2946, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, Italy has been affected by multiple earthquakes, revealing the significant vulnerability of existing structures. These seismic events have resulted in notable human and economic losses, emphasising the importance of evaluating the impact of one or more seismic events on various building types.
