Mapping Europe's Seismic Hazard [PDF]
Eos, 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

Valuation of extinction parameters of anisotropic macro-seismic wave intensities
Геофизический 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 ...

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
, 2015 In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...

Seismic hazard in the design of oil and gas pipelines [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2011 Criteria that are adopted in earthquake resistant design of pipelines and gas lines have to take into account seismic movements and seismic generated forces that are of significantly high probability level of appearance along the length of pipeline.
