The stress field is a key factor controlling earthquake occurrence and crustal evolution. In this study, we propose an approach for determining the stress field in a region using seismic moment tensors, based on the classical equation in plasticity ...

LARGE earthquake proximity indicated by seismic moment efficiency and frequency-number distribution of small earthquakes [PDF]
The size distribution of minor earthquakes, characterized by a power-law decay (b-value), sometimes indicates the hazard information of major earthquakes.

Moment tensor solutions for the Amatrice 2016 seismic sequence
On August 24, 2016 a ML 6.0 earthquake struck central Italy region, nearly completely destroying some small ancient towns as Amatrice, Accumoli, Arquata and Pescara del Tronto. In the following days thousands of aftershocks have been recorded by the INGV

Modeling of earthquake source parameters, such as the orientation of the fault plane and the direction of the fault slip, is important for understanding the physics of earthquake source processes, determining the stress-strain state of the geological ...

Underground exploitation of georesources can be highly correlated with induced seismic activity. In order to reduce the risk and improve the mining operations safety, the mining activity is monitored by a dedicated seismic network.

High-rate GNSS data in seismic moment tensor inversion: application to anthropogenic earthquakes
Earthquakes are traditionally monitored by seismic networks. However, the progress in high-rate Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) observations caused them to be included as a standard supplementary tool for strong natural earthquake monitoring ...

Near-Field Seismic Motion: Waves, Deformations and Seismic Moment
The tensorial force acting in a localized seismic focus is introduced and the corresponding seismic waves are derived, as solutions of the elastic wave equation in a homogeneous and isotropic body. The deconvolution of the solution for a structured focal

The first-order statistical moment of the seismic moment tensor [PDF]
Summary. If a complex earthquake is assumed to be a set of individual, randomly oriented elementary pure double couple sources, the solution for the seismic moment of the complex event projected on the mean trend of the fault will perforce be comprised of sources of both double couple and compensated linear vector dipole (CLVD) types.

Precise estimates of earthquake source properties are crucial for understanding earthquake processes and assessing seismic hazards. Seismic waveforms can be affected not only by individual event properties, but from the Earth’s interior heterogeneity ...
