Twenty‐Five Years of Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Fault displacement hazard poses significant risks to critical infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. While some structures can tolerate a certain degree of surface displacement, others, such as buildings, are far more vulnerable. Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA) quantifies the probability of exceeding

Seismic site characterization of the Kastelli (Kissamos) Basin in northwest Crete (Greece): Assessments using ambient noise recordings [PDF]

, 2014
Crete is actively seismic and site response studies are needed for estimating local site conditions subjected to seismic activity. In order to collect basic data, we performed ambient noise recordings to estimate the site response of the surface and near
