Diurnal and semidiurnal cyclicity of Radon (222Rn) in groundwater, Giardino Spring, Central Apennines, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Understanding natural variations of Rn (222Rn) concentrations is the fundamental prerequisite of using this radioactive gas as a tracer, or even precursor, of natural processes, including earthquakes. In this work, Rn concentrations in groundwater were

Data‐driven distributionally robust optimization of railway alignments in earthquake‐prone regions considering active fault zone risks

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 25, Page 4321-4341, 20 October 2025.
Abstract Railway alignment design in earthquake‐prone regions faces many challenges, among which an active fault zone threat is a dominant factor. However, slight attention has been devoted in this field to the complex fault zone risks affecting alignment optimization (AO). To this end, the first‐known AO model that estimates active fault zone risks is

Directions in paleoseismology

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1988
Paleoseismology is a new, rapidly evolving Earth science discipline that deals with the study of prehistoric earthquakes. It is a hybrid discipline that relies o n techniques and skills from many different Earth science specialities. Paleoseismology has provided new insight into the long‐term history of earthquakes on individual faults, thereby ...

Influence of Fluids and Geological Setting on Source Parameters of the 2010–2014 Pollino (Italy) Seismic Swarm

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 324-341, October 2025.
ABSTRACT We analyse variations in Brune stress drop (Δσ), apparent stress (τa) and Savage–Wood radiation efficiency (ηsw = τa/Δσ) during the 2010–2014 Pollino seismic swarm (Southern Apennines, Italy). This prolonged sequence included multiple swarms, with a Mw 5.2 event in October 2012, preceded by a Mw 4.3 event in May 2012, followed by aseismic slip.

Do Large Earthquakes Occur at Regular Intervals Through Time? A Perspective From the Geologic Record

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
We analyzed a catalog of 31 published earthquake chronologies to assess the commonality of quasiperiodic earthquake recurrence across a range of fault types and tectonic settings.

Paleoseismology of the Sawtooth Fault and Implications for Fault Behavior in the Epicentral Region of the 2020 Mw 6.5 Stanley, Idaho, Earthquake

open access: yesThe Seismic Record
The 2020 moment magnitude (Mw) 6.5 Stanley, Idaho, earthquake raised questions about the history and extent of complex faulting in the northwestern Centennial Tectonic Belt (CTB) and its relation to the Sawtooth normal fault and Eocene Trans-Challis ...

Strike‐Slip Fault‐Generated Paleotsunamis in Lake Iznik (NW Türkiye): Numerical Modeling Corroborated by Coastal Deposits

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract Strike‐slip faults in lacustrine environments present overlooked tsunamigenic potential. For the first time, we have reconstructed paleotsunamis triggered by strike‐slip faulting with a dip‐slip component that ruptured the lake floor. This study focuses on Lake Iznik (Türkiye), located along the middle strand of the North Anatolian Fault (MNAF)

Implications of some early Jewish sources for estimates of earthquake hazardin the Holy Land

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2004
For the past two millennia the Holy Land was under the yoke of successive invaders and oppressors, not a fertile ground for growth of historiographic traditions.

EARTHQUAKE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, INTENSITY AND SEISMIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT: THE EEE CATALOGUE (INQUA PROJECT #0418) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Earthquake Environmental Effects (EEE) are the effects produced by an earthquake on the natural environment, either directly linked to the earthquake source or triggered by the ground shaking.
