Western Mexico seismic source model for the seismic hazard assessment of the Jalisco-Colima-Michoacan region

open access: yes, 2021
The Mexican subduction zone, the Gulf of California spreading center, as well as the triple junction point around the Jalisco and the Michoacan Blocks, represents the most active seismogenic belts inducing seismic hazard in the Jalisco-Colima-Michoacan ...

Topographic Controls on the Distribution of Coseismic Landslides: A Case Study Using the Coefficient of Variation of the 2014 Ludian, Yunnan, China, Ms6.5 Earthquake

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
Identifying the locations of potential landslide areas is fundamental for disaster prevention and mitigation. Considering the close relationship between landslides and geomorphic evolution, a new approach is proposed to predict which areas are prone to ...

Mapping Europe's Seismic Hazard [PDF]

open access: yesEos, 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

Statistical analysis of daily seismic event rate as a precursor to volcanic eruptions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We analyse time series of daily seismic event rate for the Kilauea, Hawaii, volcano between 1959 and 2000. Individual eruptions are not always preceded by an increase in event rate, and many increases in event rate do not lead to eruption.

Tsunami hazard scenarios in the Adriatic Sea domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The tsunami phenomenon is mainly detected in oceanic domains but it can also occur in small basins as the Adriatic Sea. The presence of great waves has been recorded a few times in the past centuries on the Adriatic shorelines, therefore this suggests ...

Geodynamics, seismicity, and seismic hazards of the Caucasus [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2020
Being a part of ongoing continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, the Caucasus region is a remarkable site of moderate to strong seismicity, where devastating earthquakes caused significant losses of lives and livelihood. In this article, we survey geology and geodynamics of the Caucasus and its surroundings; magmatism and heat ...

Seismological research in Yunnan Province, China, and its tectonic implication between the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault system and the Red River fault zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The tectonic crosscutting relationship between the two most tectonic important Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault system (XFS) and the Red River fault zone (RRF) is a key basic problem but it is controversial now.

The advance in obtaining fault slip rate of strike slip fault-A review

open access: yesEarthquake Research Advances, 2021
Slip rate along the major active fault is an important parameter in the quantitative study of active tectonics. It is the average rate of fault slip during a certain period of time, reflecting the rate of strain energy accumulation on the fault zone.
