The crustal stress field of Germany: a refined prediction

open access: yesGeothermal Energy, 2022
Information about the absolute stress state in the upper crust plays a crucial role in the planning and execution of, e.g., directional drilling, stimulation and exploitation of geothermal and hydrocarbon reservoirs.

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

open access: yesGeosciences, 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

Mapping Europe's Seismic Hazard [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2014
From the rift that cuts through the heart of Iceland to the complex tectonic convergence that causes frequent and often deadly earthquakes in Italy, Greece, and Turkey to the volcanic tremors that rattle the Mediterranean, seismic activity is a prevalent and often life‐threatening reality across Europe. Any attempt to mitigate the seismic risk faced by

Toward performance-driven seismic risk monitoring for geothermal platforms: development of ad hoc fragility curves

open access: yesGeothermal Energy, 2018
Earthquakes, despite being a mostly natural phenomenon, may also be induced by a wide range of anthropogenic activities such as mining, fluid injection and extraction, hydraulic fracturing and geothermal reservoir processes.

Induced Seismicity Reduces Seismic Hazard? [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractEarthquakes caused by human activities have been observed for decades. Often these are related to industrial activities pumping fluids into deep geologic formations, like with wastewater disposal. The simplest theory connecting these processes to earthquakes is straightforward: injection leads to fluid pressure changes that either reduce the ...

Interpreting intraplate tectonics for seismic hazard : a UK historical perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is notoriously difficult to construct seismic source models for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in intraplate areas on the basis of geological information, and many practitioners have given up the task in favour of purely seismicity-based ...

Valuation of extinction parameters of anisotropic macro-seismic wave intensities

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2014
A method is proposed for calculating the parameters of macroseismic intensity decay of anisotropic fields. Macroseismic field are described by the model of Blake-Shebalin to the attenuation depending on the azimuth direction «epicenter-point-score ...
