The 1980, 1997 and 1998 Azores earthquakes and its seismotectonic implications [PDF]
, 2007 We have studied the focal mechanisms of the 1980, 1997 and 1998 earthquakes in the Azores region from body-wave inversion of digital GDSN (Global Digital Seismograph Network) and broadband data. For the 1980 and 1998 shocks, we have obtained strike– slip

Interpreting intraplate tectonics for seismic hazard : a UK historical perspective [PDF]
, 2012 It is notoriously difficult to construct seismic source models for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in intraplate areas on the basis of geological information, and many practitioners have given up the task in favour of purely seismicity-based ...

Crustal and deep seismicity in Italy (30 years after)
Annals of Geophysics, 1997 The first modern studies of seismicity in Italy date back to the late 60's and early 70's. Although with a sparse seismic network available and only a few telemetered short-period stations, significant studies were carried out that outlined the main ...

Seismotectonics of the Horseshoe Abyssal Plain and Gorringe Bank, eastern Atlantic Ocean - constraints from ocean-bottom seismometer data [PDF]
, 2017 At the eastern end of the Azores-Gloria transform fault system to the southwest of Portugal, the plate boundary between Africa and Iberia is a region where deformation is accommodated over a wide tectonically-active area.

Oblique Convergence in the Himalayas of Western Nepal Deduced from Preliminary Results of GPS Measurements [PDF]
, 1999 A GPS network consisting of 29 sites was installed in central and western Nepal, with measurements taken in 1995 and partial remeasurements in 1997. Data suggest 15 +/−5 mm/yr of N180° convergence between the Higher Himalayas and India, a result that is ...

Sesimicity of the Pejibaye-Matina, Costa Rica, region: a strike-slip tectonic boundary? [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2009 Earthquake locations are provided in an effort to determine fault orientations and investigate the existence of a strike-slip tectonic boundary on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. A data set of 121 earthquakes for the 1993 Pejibaye de Turrialba seismic

GEODYNAMICS OF NAZCA RIDGE’S OBLIQUE SUBDUCTION AND MIGRATION - IMPLICATIONS FOR TSUNAMI GENERATION ALONG CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PERU: Earthquake and Tsunami of 23 June 2001 [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2012 Peru is in a region of considerable geologic and seismic complexity. Thrust faulting along the boundary where the Nazca plate subducts beneath the South American continent has created three distinct seismic zones.
