<p>High-resolution airborne LiDAR and field mapping were used to investigate a 29 km-long section of the Hurunui segment of the Hope Fault concealed beneath beech forest. Approximately 20 km of the dextral strike-slip principal slip zone (PSZ) was identified ...

<p>Analysis of light detection and ranging (lidar) derived topography combined with field data enables measurement of small (&lt;30 m), previously unrecognized dextral offsets beneath dense temperate rainforest along New Zealand&rsquo;s central Alpine fault. ...

<p>The previously unknown Greendale Fault ruptured in the September 2010 moment magnitude (Mw) 7.1 Darfield Earthquake. Surface rupture fracture patterns and displacements along the fault were measured with high precision using real time kinematic (RTK) GPS, ...

On 4 September 2010, a surface rupturing earthquake (Mw 7.1) struck the Canterbury Plains region in New Zealand's South Island. The Canterbury Plains is a region of relatively low seismicity, and the structure that ruptured was a previously unmapped fault. ...

In 2004, the GeoNet project operated by GNS Science implemented an internet-based questionnaire. Its aim was to provide an automatic intensity assignment in New Zealand’s Modified Mercalli (MM) intensity scale based on answers to a set of standardized questions. ...

<p>Knowledge of seismic properties in an earthquake rupture zone is essential for understanding the factors controlling rupture dynamics. We use data from aftershocks following the Maule earthquake to derive a three-dimensional seismic velocity model of the ...

<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 ...

To investigate the dynamic weakening mechanisms activated during seismic slip in thermally unstable rocks, we performed 34 experiments at room temperature and humidity conditions with a high-velocity rotary shear friction apparatus

This paper is about the numerical simulation of historic earhquakes, in order to improve the knowledge of past phenomena and contribute to the assessment of the regional seismic hazard.

A total of 15 persons has been part of this 5 days field investigation in order to support the Spanish IGNintervention on the field after the Lorca earthquake. X. Goula, Leader of the Seismic Group of theInstitut of Geology of Catalunya was the coordinator ...
