Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2618-2633, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Vs30 of Coastal Cities in Eastern Indonesia in the Context of Earthquake Phenomenology

Seismica
Shear wave velocity measurements to 30 m depth (Vs30) using Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) indicate high seismic risk to the built environment in coastal cities adjacent to the Sunda and Banda subduction zones in Eastern Indonesia.

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2284-2302, September 2026.
Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not

Limitaciones del parámetro Vs30 para la predicción del movimiento fuerte [PDF]

The Vs30 parameter, that is, the harmonic average of the S waves in the first 30 meters of the surface, has been extensively used to model the local conditions of a site.

A Vs30 Map for New Zealand based on Geology, Topographic Slope and Direct Measurements [PDF]

, 2017
Motivation Vs30 (the time-averaged shear wave velocity in the uppermost 30 metres of a given location) is an important engineering parameter used in research and practice. Vs30 is not straightforward or inexpensive to measure directly. Mapping Vs30 as a

Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2169-2183, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...

VS30 Estimates Using Constrained H/V Measurements

, 2009
Most seismic codes adopt the average shear-wave velocity as a key parameter in the first 30 m of subsoil (VS30). Estimates of VS30 are therefore required for both large- and small-scale seismic microzonation. We propose a technique to measure the VS30

A Comparative Study on the VS30 and N30 Based Seismic Site Classification in Kahramanmaras, Turkey

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Assessment of seismic site classification (SSC) using either the average shear wave velocity (VS30) or the average SPT-N values (N30) for upper 30 m in soils is the simplest method to carry out various studies including site response and soil-structure ...

Evaluating the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Shaking Hazard Forecasts and Their Implications on Seismic Risk

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
We analyze the last six update cycles of the long‐term probabilistic earthquake shaking hazard forecast from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and discuss the changes in hazard estimates from the 1996 to the latest 2023 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous United States.

Seismic site characterization of Malang Regency (Indonesia) using HVSR inversion

Kuwait Journal of Science
Based on Indonesia's active fault map, this study focuses on the Eurasian and Indo-Australian plate subduction zone in the southern sea of Java, an area that is highly susceptible to earthquake risk and soil vulnerability.
