Earthquake risk assessment and management : case study; Cyprus [PDF]
Earthquakes are amongst the worst natural disasters on Earth, resulting in an annual average of around 10,000 fatalities last century and progressively increasing in the amount of economic damage they cause, reaching US $20 billion per annum this decade.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Offshore Bangladesh Including Fault Sources [PDF]
This paper presents a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for a site offshore Maheshkhali Island, Bangladesh. The tectonic setting of the area is complex, and the PSHA includes active crustal faults, megathrust and intraplate subduction faults ...

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
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 ...

Including non-stationary magnitude-frequency distributions in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis [PDF]
We describe a first principles methodology to evaluate statistically the hazard related to non-stationary seismic sources like induced seismicity. We use time-dependent Gutenberg-Richter parameters, leading to a time-varying rate of earthquakes.

Performance evaluation of Wied Dalam (WDD) seismic station in Malta [PDF]
The continual operation of a permanent seismograph, now exceeding a couple of decades in some cases, naturally involves changes of hardware and software over time.

Regional Seismic Wavefield Propagation [PDF]
Through the examination of local and regional seismic waveform data the crust and upper mantle of southern California are investigated. Using local and regional seismic phases such as Pn, Sn, PL, and surface waves, seismic wave velocities of interesting

Slip distributions on active normal faults measured from LiDAR and field mapping of geomorphic offsets: an example from L'Aquila, Italy, and implications for modelling seismic moment release [PDF]
Surface slip distributions for an active normal fault in central Italy have been measured using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), in order to assess the impact of changes in fault orientation and kinematics when modelling subsurface slip distributions ...

Definition of seismic and tsunami hazard scenarios by exploiting EU-India Grid e-infrastructures [PDF]
Seismic hazard assessment can be performed following a neo-deterministic approach (NDSHA), which allows to give a realistic description of the seismic ground motion due to an earthquake of given distance and magnitude.
