Mapping Europe's Seismic Hazard [PDF]
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]
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]
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]
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 ...

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