Joint analysis of shear wave velocity from SH-wave refraction and MASW techniques for SPT-N estimation [PDF]
Horizontally polarized shear wave (SH) refraction and multichannel analysis of surface wave (MASW) methods have been carried out in Hatyai City, southern Thailand, a pilot study for site classification, part of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction

This paper is intended: (1) to give an account of the relative seismicity of various parts of the earth during the limited period for which accurate information is available, and (2) to identify and discuss the geographical and geological relationships of the principal zones and areas of seismic activity.

Seismicity and seismic hazards
Many earthquakes occur along Canada's western margin near the edge of the North American Plate, but others occur within the plate in Arctic and southeastern Canada. Damaging earthquakes have occurred throughout history in both Eastern and Western Canada, and will undoubtedly recur in the future.

Wet subglacial bedforms of the NE Greenland Ice Stream shear margins
We describe elongate, wet, subglacial bedforms in the shear margins of the NE Greenland Ice Stream and place some constraints on their formation. Lateral shear margin moraines have been observed across the previously glaciated landscape, but little is ...

Potential Use of Time-Lapse Surface Seismics for Monitoring Thawing of the Terrestrial Arctic
The terrestrial Arctic is warming rapidly, causing changes in the degree of freezing of the upper sediments, which the mechanical properties of unconsolidated sediments strongly depend upon.

For a long time, reactive seismic retrofitting was focused on monumental heritage and very little on vernacular architecture. In the last years, there has been a growing interest on seismic resistant design and solutions and several research units emerged to produce important research in the scientific field. However, for some time, international focus

Diurnal seismicity cycle linked to subsurface melting on an ice shelf
Seismograms acquired on the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, during an Austral summer melt season (November 2016–January 2017) reveal a diurnal cycle of seismicity, consisting of hundreds of thousands of small ice quakes limited to a 6–12 hour period ...

Seismic Analysis of Moderate Size Earthquakes Recorded on Stations at Close Epicentral Distances
In this study, we analyzed the near-field seismic records of two moderate sized earthquakes in the Western Balkan region: the September 2016 Skopje earthquake, magnitude ML5.3 and the March 2020 Zagreb earthquake, magnitude ML5.5.

Englacial hydrology plays an important role in routing surface water to the glacier's bed and it consequently affects the glacier's dynamics. However, it is often difficult to observe englacial conduit conditions on temperate glaciers because of their ...

Two approaches to the problem of ray seismic tomography
Approximation of nonlinear geophysical medium as a linear one substantiates a transition to geometrical seismics based on geometric optics. Conditions, necessary and sufficient for application of geometrical optics bring possibility of linearization ...
