Hillslope memory and spatial and temporal distributions of earthquake-induced landslides [PDF]
Large earthquakes commonly trigger widespread and destructive landsliding. However, current approaches to modeling regional-scale landslide activity do not account for the temporal evolution of progressive failure in brittle hillslope materials ...

The role of epsilon for the identification of groups of earthquake inputs of given hazard
Response spectra have been used in the years not only to obtain estimations of the seismic response for given dynamic system in response spectral analysis, but also as a useful reference for the identification of design time-history inputs (when time ...

Estimating Consumer Valuation of Earthquake Risk: Evidence from Japanese Housing Markets [PDF]
The relationships between seismic risk and rental and owner- occupied housing prices in the whole of Japan are examined. The empirical results from hedonic regressions with earthquake risk indices suggest that: (1) earthquake occurrence probability has a

The 2010 Chile Earthquake: a five-year reflection
At 3:34AM local time, on February 27th, 2010, a moment magnitude Mw 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck offshore the coast of Chile. The earthquake ruptured a 540 by 200 km mature seismic gap of the underlying subduction pacific plate interlocking mechanism.
