Earthquake risk assessment and management : case study; Cyprus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Including non-stationary magnitude-frequency distributions in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2004
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

Seismic hazard assessment of the Province of Murcia (SE Spain): analysis of source contribution to hazard

open access: yes, 2007
A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of the Province of Murcia in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA) and spectral accelerations [SA(T)] is presented in this paper.

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]

open access: yes, 2014
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 ...

Preliminary Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis of the CO2CRC Otway Project Site, Victoria, Australia

open access: yes, 2011
We present a preliminary probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) of a site in the Otway basin, Victoria, Australia, as part of the CO2CRC Otway Project for CO2 storage risk.

Definition of seismic and tsunami hazard scenarios by exploiting EU-India Grid e-infrastructures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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.
