<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 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.

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 ...

The 8 October 2005 Kashmir earthquake triggered several thousand landslides. These were mainly rock falls and debris falls, although translational rock and debris slides also occurred. In addition, a sturzstrom (debris avalanche) comprising ∼80 million m3 ...

In this study are constructed finite element models (FEMs) that simulate deformation of the earthquake for a three-dimensional problem domain partitioned to account for the distribution of material properties of the subducting slab, forearc, volcanic arc, ...

To understand the reason why the co-seismic slip and tsunami amplitudes were so high in this region, was performed the "Sumatra Aftershocks" cruise (R/V Marion Dufresne, Jakarta, July 15 - Colombo, August 9, 2005) in order to establish the geodynamical context ...

To understand the role of the co-seismic moment magnitude, Mw, 9.1–9.3 Sumatra–Andaman Earthquake rupture mechanism on the severity of the Indian Ocean Tsunami, we used permanent Global Positioning System (GPS) data and carried out an analysis of co-seismic ...

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, ...

<p>On March 2005, the River Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport issued &ldquo;Guidelines for Seismic Performance Evaluation of Dams during Large Earthquakes (Draft).&rdquo; The Draft Guidelines describe the methods for systematically ...

New punctual estimates on the Quaternary slip rate of the active transform margin of North Anatolia are provided.It is investigated the area struck by the 12 November 1999, Mw 7.1 earthquake, that ruptured the Düzce fault segment of the North Anatolian Fault. ...
