<p>Turkey, being located in a highly seismically active region, has experienced several devastating earthquakes throughout its history. The recent Mw 7.4 1999 Kocaeli and Mw 7.2 2011 Van earthquakes caused a considerable amount of economical losses and physical ...

<p>Low slip-rate faults tend to have large recurrence intervals and are usually regarded that they represent a low hazard probability. However, when these faults neighboring a large city, the risk becomes high. The Afidnai fault is a low slip-rate fault that ...

This review starts with the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and the associated Indian Ocean tsunami, then proceeds to offer long-term perspectives from earthquakes and tsunamis recorded geologically on the Pacic Rim. Histories of earthquakes and tsunamis, ...

In the present paper, a review of historical earthquake studies in Greece is attempted. The seismichistory of the country is divided into four main periods. In each one of them, characteristic examples, studiesand approaches are presented.

<p>In this article, it is reviewed some of the remarkable observations of the earthquake cycle already made using radar interferometry and speculate on breakthroughs that are tantalizingly close.</p>

<p>An earthquake alters the shear and normal stress on surrounding faults. New evidence strengthens the hypothesis that such small, sudden stress changes cause large changes in seismicity rate. Rates climb where the stress increases (aftershocks) and fall ...

Ten M>=6.7 earthquakes ruptured 1,000 km of the North Anatolian fault (Turkey) during 1939-92, providing an unsurpassed opportunity to study how one large shock sets up the next. Weuse the mapped surface slip and fault geometry to infer the transfer of stress ...
