<p>Bounded by the western and eastern syntaxes, the Himalayan region has experienced at least five M~8 earthquakes during a seismically very active phase from 1897 through 1952. However, there has been a paucity of M~8 earthquakes since 1952. Examining of ...

<p>The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources (GreDaSS) is a repository of geological, tectonic and active-fault data for the Greek territory and its surroundings. In this report, we present the state-of-the-art of an on-going project devoted to the building ...

In a tectonically complex area of northwest Pakistan, MOL Pakistan and its partners acquired two 3D seismic surveys. Extreme topography led to irregular shooting geometry. Varied surface access over this terrain required a mix of Vibroseis and dynamite source ...

A Roman mausoleum located in the ancient city of Pınara, southwest Turkey, shows clear signs of damages due to dynamic loading. Considering the seismotectonic potential of the area, earthquake ground motions are a possible cause of the damages. However, the ...

The goal of this study is the evaluation of the potential of rockfall occurrence generated by seismic events in the vicinity of the archaeological site of Delphi, Greece.

In this paper the structural relationships and their interpretations were investigated and analyzed in detail with the aim of unravelling the tectonic evolution of the Nigerian basement.

<p>A GPS-derived velocity field from a dense geodetic network established in the broader area of Athens is presented, whereas local variations of strain rates across a major inactive tectonic boundary separating metamorphic and non-metamorphic geotectonic ...

This study attempts to delineate the late Quaternary morphotectonic evolution of the coastal zone of southern Lesvos Island (NE Aegean Sea) on the basis of detailed field mapping of different sea level indicators.

The goal of this paper is to show which areas are particularly prone to earthquake-induced slope failure. In this regard, the paper considers the short- and long-term effects of geological, tectonic, climatic and morphological conditions. Case histories related ...

Saturday, 27 February 2010, at 6h34 UT, an Earthquake of magnitude 8.8 occurred on the Chilean subduction near the cities of Concepcion, Constitucion and Valparaiso. This event takes place in a long list of earthquakes which have been occurring all along the ...
