A comparison of characteristic parameters of mining related and tectonic seismic aftershock sequences
(Elsevier, 2020)
The temporal decay pattern of seismicity following rock bursts and large magnitude events is studied for
aftershock sequences in several mines in Ontario, Canada. The decay phenomenon is described by the so – called
Modified ...
Seismicity and tectonics
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2003)
The Southern Peru earthquake of 23 June 2001 resulted from thrust faulting on the boundary between the Nazca and South American plates. In terms of seismic moment release, the Mw (HRV) 8,4 earthquake was arguably the largest ...
The Role of Faults as Barriers in Confined Seismic Sequences: 2021 Seismicity in the Granada Basin (Betic Cordillera)
Fault barriers are key structures for studying seismic hazard in regions of intense brittle deformation. The interaction between fault sets affects their seismogenic behavior, if some of them act as barriers. The Granada ...
Seismic and geomorphic assessment for coseismic landslides zonation in tropical volcanic contexts
(2022-08)
The Poás volcano is an active volcano of Costa Rica with intense tectonic activity in its
flanks. Historically, the volcano has presented strong, surficial earthquakes provoking
many landslides with associated casualties ...
Influence of the continental margin on the stress field and seismicity in the intraplate Acaraú Seismic Zone, NE Brazil
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-07-07)
The geometry of the Chilean continental wedge: Tectonic segmentation of subduction processes off Chile
(Elsevier, 2015)
Based on high-resolution bathymetry and geophysical observations, the precise continental wedge geometry
along the Chileanmargin is analyzed. The data showcomplex patterns in continentalwedge geometry that challenge
the ...
Seismicity and plate tectonics of the Eastern Caribbean
(2010-06-21)
The distribution of earthquakes in the Caribbean region closely follows the Greater and Lesser Antillean island chain and the coast of Venezuela. This zone is interpreted as one of differential movement between two separate ...
