Coseismic surface deformation from air photos: The Kickapoo step over in the 1992 Landers rupture [PDF]
, 2006 Coseismic deformation of the ground can be measured from aerial views taken before and after an earthquake. We chose the area of the Kickapoo-Landers step over along the 1992 Landers earthquake zone, using air photos (scale 1:40,000) scanned at 0.4 m ...

Recent Seismic Activity in the Azores Region [PDF]
, 2008 This seismic activity in the Azores Region is characterized by sequences of low-magnitude events, usually with epicenter off-shore. These seismic sequences are sometimes triggered by larger events, felt by the population, that could produce significant ...

Enhanced rock-slope failure following ice-sheet deglaciation : timing and causes [PDF]
, 2014 This research was supported by NERC Cosmogenic Isotope Analysis Facility [Grant Number: 9046.0308]The temporal pattern of rock-slope failures (RSFs) following Late Pleistocene deglaciation on tectonically stable terrains is controversial: previous ...

Possible location of the next major earthquakes in the northern Apennines: present key role of the Romagna-Marche-Umbria wedge [PDF]
, 2017 It is argued that in some zones of the Northern Apennines, in particular the Rimini-Ancona thrust system, the Romagna Apennines and the Alta Valtiberina trough, the probability of major earthquakes is now higher than in other Apennine zones.

, 2013 The Pamir Mountains form a complex orographic node north of the western Himalayan Syntaxis. Due to the Pamir’s remote location, crustal tectonics of the region is not well studied. We report new data on distribution and kinematics of crustal earthquakes in the Pamir and its surroundings. Our data set stems from a deployment of seismometers between 2008-

Seismotectonic characterization of Mexico
, 2019 México es una Región Sismotectónica activa, mayoritariamente en la placa continental de Norteamérica y tiene los 2 tipos de sismicidad (entreplacas y de interior de placa). La estructura jerárquica contiene 3 Provincias Sismotectónicas (Norte-Occidental, Occidental y Centro-Oriental), en ellas hay 11 Unidades Sismotectónicas y en éstas se localizan las

Seismic hazard assessment of the Shillong Plateau using a probabilistic approach
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020 Seismotectonic processes of the Shillong Plateau (SP) have been influenced by the Himalayan orogeny, the India-Burmese subduction, and the Bengal Basin evolution leading to high seismic activity in the region.

Acoustically-induced slip in sheared granular layers: application to dynamic earthquake triggering [PDF]
, 2015 A fundamental mystery in earthquake physics is ``how can an earthquake be triggered by distant seismic sources?'' Here, we use discrete element method simulations of a granular layer, during stick-slip, that is subject to transient vibrational excitation

A seismotectonic map of Eastern Siberia
Geodynamics & Tectonophysics, 2015 The paper reviews goals and objectives, stages and the content of seismotectonic studies conducted in Eastern Siberia. Such studies are based on a comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical data and provide for establishing whether the local earthquakes are of tectonic origin and revealing their relationships with recent geodynamic processes ...
