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 ...

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.

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 ...

On Saturday, February 27, 2010, at 03:34 a.m. local time (06:34:14 UTC), an Mw 8.8 earthquake struck the central south region of Chile, affecting an area with a population exceeding eight million people, including 6.1M, 0.8M, and 0.9M in the urban areas around ...

A crustal-scale shear zone network at the fossil brittle-to-viscous transition exposed at Cap de Creus, NE Spain evolved by coeval fracturing and viscous, mylonitic overprinting of an existing foliation.

<p>The active deformation of the southwestern United States (30 - 41 N) is represented by a finite number of rotating, elastic-plastic spherical caps.</p>

A seismotectonic map shows geologic, seismological, and other information that is pertinent to seismic hazards but previously was scattered among many sources. Afghanistan is part of the Eurasian plate. Afghan seismicity is driven by the relative northward ...

This paper is a study of paleoseismic data of the Calabria area by opening four trenches and finding evidence of several displacement events. The data presented in this paper imply the necessity to reassess the seismic hazard of the region, the local seismogenetic ...
