When probabilistic seismic hazard climbs volcanoes: the Mt. Etna case, Italy – Part 1: Model components for sources parameterization [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017 The volcanic region of Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy) represents a perfect lab for testing innovative approaches to seismic hazard assessment. This is largely due to the long record of historical and recent observations of seismic and tectonic phenomena ...

Variable fault geometry suggests detailed fault slip-rate profiles and 1 geometries are needed for fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) [PDF]
, 2018 It has been suggested that a better knowledge of fault locations and slip-rates improves seismic hazard assessments. However, the importance of detailed along-fault slip-rate profiles and variable fault geometry has not yet been explored. We quantify the importance for modeled seismicity rates of using multiple throw-rate measurements to construct ...

Evaluation of The Seismic Hazard in The Marmara Region (Turkey) Based on Updated Databases
Geosciences, 2019 The increase in the wealth of information on the seismotectonic structure of the Marmara region after two devastating earthquakes (M7.6 Izmit and M7.2 Duzce events) in the year 1999 opened the way for the reassessment of the probabilistic seismic hazard ...

The use of Monte Carlo simulations for seismic hazard assessment in the U.K.
Annals of Geophysics, 2000 The input required for a seismic hazard study using conventional Probabilistic Seismic Hazard assessment (PSHA) methods can also be used for probabilistic analysis of hazard using Monte Carlo simulation methods. This technique is very flexible, and seems
