Incorporating Descriptive Metadata into Seismic Source Zone Models for Seismic Hazard Assessment: A case study of the Azores-West Iberian region [PDF]

, 2014
In probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis (PSHA), seismic source zone (SSZ) models are widely used to account for the contribution to the hazard from earth- quakes not directly correlated with geological structures.

The effect of stochastic dependence of observations on hazard validation studies

, 2015
In countries with an advanced seismic technical culture, where best - practice probabilistic hazard studies are available along with dense seismic networks, there is an increasing interest in validation of hazard maps.

Bayesian earthquake dating and seismic hazard assessment using chlorine-36 measurements (BED v1)

Geoscientific Model Development, 2018
. Over the past 20 years, analyzing the abundance of the isotope chlorine-36 (36Cl) has emerged as a popular tool for geologic dating. In particular, it has been observed that 36Cl measurements along a fault plane can be used to study the timings of past

Earthquake-Induced Landslide Risk Assessment: An Example from Sakhalin Island, Russia

Geosciences, 2019
Damages caused by earthquake-induced ground effects can be of the order or significantly exceed the expected damages from ground shaking. A new probabilistic technique is considered in this study for earthquake-induced landslide risk assessment.

Seismic hazard assessment of the Shillong Plateau, India

, 2018
The Shillong Plateau is an earthquake-prone region in the northeastern India. Based on regional seismotectonic studies, we present here a deterministic seismic hazard assessment (DSHA) and maps of peak horizontal accelerations (PHA) for three largely ...

What is the impact of the August 24, 2016 Amatrice earthquake on the seismic hazard assessment in central Italy?

Annals of Geophysics, 2016
The recent Amatrice strong event (Mw6.0) occurred on August 24, 2016 in Central Apennines (Italy) in a seismic gap zone, motivated us to study and provide better understanding of the seismic hazard assessment in the macro area defined as “Central Italy”.

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

, 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.

A checking method for probabilistic seismic-hazard assessment: case studies on three cities [PDF]

, 2010
The conventional Cornell's source-based approach of probabilistic seismic-hazard assessment (PSHA) has been employed all around the world, whilst many studies often rely on the use of computer packages such as FRISK (McGuire FRISK-a computer program for ...
