Identifying potentially induced seismicity and assessing statistical significance in Oklahoma and California [PDF]
JGR Solid Earth 2017, 2016 We develop a statistical method for identifying induced seismicity from large datasets and apply the method to decades of wastewater disposal and seismicity data in California and Oklahoma. The method is robust against a variety of potential pitfalls. The study regions are divided into gridblocks.

A new probabilistic shift away from seismic hazard reality in Italy? [PDF]
, 2014 Objective testing is a key issue in the process of revision and improvement of seismic hazard assessments. Therefore we continue the rigorous comparative analysis of past and newly available hazard maps for the territory of Italy against the seismic activity observed in reality. The final Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) results and the

Seismic Hazard and Public Safety [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 The recent destructive earthquakes in Wenchuan (China), L'Aquila (Italy), Port‐au‐Prince (Haiti), Christchurch (New Zealand), and Tohoku (Japan) have reignited the discussion over seismic safety. Several scientists [e.g., Stein et al., 2012; Wyss et al., 2012] have questioned the reliability of some seismic hazard maps based on the probabilistic ...

Seismicity and seismic hazards
, 2001 Many earthquakes occur along Canada's western margin near the edge of the North American Plate, but others occur within the plate in Arctic and southeastern Canada. Damaging earthquakes have occurred throughout history in both Eastern and Western Canada, and will undoubtedly recur in the future.

Development of Seismic Demand for Chang-Bin Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan Strait
Energies, 2016 Taiwan is located on the Pacific seismic belt, and the soil conditions of Taiwan’s offshore wind farms are softer than those in Europe. To ensure safety and stability of the offshore wind turbine supporting structures, it is important to assess the ...

Deterministic seismic hazard in Egypt [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2001 The regional seismic hazard in Egypt is assessed using a deterministic approach based on the computation of synthetic seismograms at a set of gridpoints located at distances of 0.2 from each other. The main input for this computation are earthquake sources and structural models.
