Site Amplification Analysis of Dushanbe City Area, Tajikistan to Support Seismic Microzonation

Geosciences, 2021
Being a country exposed to strong seismicity, the estimation of seismic hazard in Tajikistan is essential for urbanized areas, such as the rapidly growing capital city Dushanbe. To ensure people’s safety and adequate construction work, a detailed seismic

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

National‐scale Mapping of the Expected Earthquake Magnitude for Soil Liquefaction Triggering Analyses in Italy

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
This paper introduces a procedure to estimate moment magnitude (MW) in earthquake‐induced soil liquefaction probabilistic risk assessment. The method is based on using the historical seismicity modelled with a truncated Gutenberg‐Richter (G‐R) relation, jointly with an empirical model linking the MW to the maximum source‐to‐site distance at which soil ...

Assessment of the Seismic Site Amplification in the City of Ivanec (NW Part of Croatia) Using the Microtremor HVSR Method and Equivalent-Linear Site Response Analysis

Geosciences, 2019
The city of Ivanec is located between valley of the Bednja River and Mt. Ivanščica and this area can be prone to significant seismic site amplification due to local site characteristics.

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

Softening and Recovery of Near‐Surface Layers During the 2024 M7.6 Noto Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract On 1 January 2024, a devastating MJ 7.6 earthquake occurred on the Noto Peninsula in Japan. When such a strong earthquake occurs, affected near‐surface soil layers behave nonlinearly and may undergo some structural changes driven by Flow Liquefaction, Cyclic Mobility, or Slow Dynamics phenomena.

3D Shear‐Wave Velocity and Density Modeling of the Northern Cascadia Subduction Zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract In the Northern Cascadia Subduction Zone (NCSZ), we developed a new 3D model for shear‐wave velocity (VS) and density to improve seismic hazard assessments and ground motion simulations. Utilizing seismic data from the past two decades, we measure surface wave dispersion from ambient noise and earthquake recordings and inverted them for VS ...
