Imaging overpressurised fracture networks and geological barriers hindering fluid migrations across a slow-deformation seismic gap [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 There is an ongoing debate on the processes producing background seismicity and deformation transients across seismic gaps, i.e., regions that lack historical large-magnitude earthquakes.

B-value variations in the Central Chile seismic gap assessed by a Bayesian transdimensional approach [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The b-value can be used to characterize the seismic activity for a given earthquake catalog and provide information on the stress level accumulated at active faults.

Shallow slow earthquakes to decipher future catastrophic earthquakes in the Guerrero seismic gap [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 New offshore observations in the Guerrero seismic gap discovered shallow slow earthquakes, which suggest that a portion of the plate interface undergoes stable slip. This may explain the long return period of large earthquakes and why have previous large

Gas and seismicity within the Istanbul seismic gap [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Understanding micro-seismicity is a critical question for earthquake hazard assessment. Since the devastating earthquakes of Izmit and Duzce in 1999, the seismicity along the submerged section of North Anatolian Fault within the Sea of Marmara ...

Applied Sciences, 2020 Earthquake-induced structural pounding may cause major damages to structures, and therefore it should be prevented. This study is focused on using an artificial neural network (ANN) method to determine the sufficient seismic gap in order to avoid ...

Performance of base-isolated moment resisting steel frames subjected to pounding effects under near-field earthquake ground motions [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2021 Despite conservative requirements of existing building code regarding clear seismic gap distance of base-isolated (BI) structures to surrounding moat walls, seismic performance of these structures is still ambiguous under severe earthquake ground motions

Seismic anisotropy in siliciclastic reservoir rocks [PDF]
, 2006 The interpretation of geophysical field measurements of seismic anisotropy is presently limited by our knowledge of the controls of the elastic anisotropy of sedimentary rocks in the subsurface. Traditionally, laboratory ultrasonic velocity measurements

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2023 There were investigated seismic mode and stress state of the Earth’s crust in the South Fergana seismic activity zone. In the central part of the zone, there was identified an area of a long-term seismic quiescence during which no earthquakes with energy

Variation of Fault Creep Along the Overdue Istanbul‐Marmara Seismic Gap in NW Türkiye
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Strain energy from tectonic loading can be partly released through aseismic creep. Earthquake repeaters, repeatedly activated brittle fault patches surrounded by creep, indicate steady‐state creep that affects the amount of seismic energy available for ...
