<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>Dynamic triggering of earthquakes by seismic waves is a robustly observed phenomenon with well-documented examples from over 30 major earthquakes. We are now in a position to use dynamic triggering as a natural experiment to probe the reaction of faults ...

Tectonic deformation from the 2010 Maule (Chile) Mw 8.8 earthquakeincluded both uplift and subsidence along about 470 km of the central Chilean coast. In the south, deformation included as much as 3 m of uplift of the Arauco Peninsula, which produced emergent ...

<p>Large-amplitude surface waves from the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake triggered many seismic events across Japan, while the smaller amplitude P-wave triggering remains unclear. A spectral method was used to detect seismic events triggered by the first arriving ...

Seismic imaging in thrust-belt environments like the foothills of the Himalayas benefits significantly from interpretive input to velocities used for time and depth migration. With low fold in the near surface, low signal-to- noise ratios on the image gathers, ...

On February 9 and 10, 2012,the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) convened a workshop with support from theU.S.National Science Foundation (NSF)to identify themes and directions for research resulting from the September 4, 2010 and February 22, ...

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.

<p>We review the long term evolution of seismicity in the eastern Marmara Sea over a decade, before and after the 1999 Mw 7.6 Izmit earthquake. We analyze large scale space-time variations of seismicity in the region and illustrate the impact of the recent ...

This paper gives a summary of a reconnaissance mission conducted by the author on behalf of the AEES after the February 22nd 2011 (Christchurch) earthquake. It highlights the damage observed in reinforced concrete buildings, the effects of liquefaction and ...

In this study we compare the effective thickness of the locked zone derived from seismicity with the thickness derived from geodesy to quantitatively measure the similarities and differences in the two approaches along the SAFS (San Andreas Fault System).
