Seismic Hazard Assessment for a Wind Farm Offshore England

open access: yesGeotechnics, 2022
Offshore wind has become a major contributor to reducing global carbon emissions. This paper presents a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm, which is located about 200 km north-east of England in the southern North Sea ...

Recent Crustal Deformation in West-Central South America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
I use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to create maps of crustal deformation along the coast and within the volcanic arc of central South America. I image deformation associated with six subduction zone earthquakes, four volcanic centers,

Estimating shallow water sound power levels and mitigation radii for the R/V Marcus G. Langseth using an 8 km long MCS streamer

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
For seismic surveys in shallow‐water environments, the complexity of local geology and seafloor topography can make it difficult to accurately predict associated sound levels and establish appropriate mitigation radii required to ensure the safety of ...

Climate Change is Rewriting the Hydroclimatic Operating Envelope of Mines

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change is shown to shift the hydroclimatic operating envelope of mines: 16.2% of represented mine locations have already changed Köppen subtype, rising to 42.5% by late century under SSP5‐8.5. Divergent water trajectories are filtered through geology, infrastructure and lifecycle stage, indicating that adaptation requires monitored, scenario ...

Broadband Waveform Modeling Over a Dense Seismic Network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We developed a "two-way" calibration technique for studying clustered events, particularly their mechanisms and rupture directivities. First, we demonstrate that the magnitude 4 events with known source mechanisms can be used to calibrate the path ...

Mechanically‐Gated Stochastic Resonance for All‐Optical Acoustic Sensing in Noisy Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A mechanically‐gated stochastic resonance (MGSR) sensing system is demonstrated, wherein stochastic resonance is enabled by an all‐optical bistable fiber Bragg grating feedback loop and gated by mechanical resonance. Under ambient noise, the system generates bistable outputs satisfying the Kramers escape‐rate condition, yielding signal‐to‐noise ratio ...

Supershear cascading rupture envelopes: a case study from the 2023 Kahramanmaraş seismic doublet

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Super-shear ruptures, characterized by velocities exceeding the shear wave speed, were first predicted theoretically and later observed in laboratory experiments.

Hydrostatic Asymmetric Journal Gas Barings for Seismic ACROSS Transmitters

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2007
The ACROSS (Accurately Controlled Routinely Operated Signal System) is used to detect subtle changes in the physical state of Earth's structure. The signal is sinusoidal elastic waves generated by the rotation of a rotor with eccentric mass set in ...

Comparison of seismic sources for shallow seismic: sledgehammer and pyrotechnics

open access: yesContemporary Trends in Geoscience, 2015
AbstractThe pyrotechnic materials are one of the types of the explosives materials which produce thermal, luminous or sound effects, gas, smoke and their combination as a result of a self-sustaining chemical reaction. Therefore, pyrotechnics can be used as a seismic source that is designed to release accumulated energy in a form of seismic wave ...

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.
