Determination of the Geopotential from Satellite - to - Satellite Tracking Data
the basic National horizontal and vertical networks of geodetic control and provides governmentwide leadership in the improvement of geodetic surveying methods and instrumentation, coordinates operations to assure network development, and provides specifications and criteria for survey operations by Federal, State, and other agencies. NGS engages in research and development for the improvement ...
متن کاملIntraplate Triggered Earthquakes: Observations and Interpretation
We present evidence that at least two of the three 1811–1812 New Madrid, central United States, mainshocks and the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake triggered earthquakes at regional distances. In addition to previously published evidence for triggered earthquakes in the northern Kentucky/southern Ohio region in 1812, we present evidence suggesting that triggered events might have occ...
متن کاملExploring the Spatial Association between Measures from Satellite Imagery and Patterns of Urban Vulnerability to Earthquake Hazards
This paper discusses the implementation of an integrated set of methods used to explore the relative importance of the social characteristics and the physical conditions of urban morphology in shaping the spatial patterns of urban vulnerability to earthquake hazards in Los Angeles County. These methods include: (1) the development of an index for social vulnerability at the census tract level b...
متن کامل3-D Coseismic Displacement Field of the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake Inferred from Satellite Radar Imagery
We use radar amplitude images acquired by the ENVISAT/ASAR sensor to measure the coseismic deformation of the 8 October 2005 Kashmir earthquake. We use the offset images to constrain the fault trace, which is in good agreement with the field investigations and the aftershock distribution. We infer a complete 3-D surface displacement field of the Kashmir earthquake using the offset measurements ...
متن کاملAssessing vulnerability to earthquake hazards through spatial multicriteria analysis of urban areas
Assessing urban vulnerability to natural hazards such as earthquakes can be regarded as an ill-structured problem (i.e. a problem for which there is no unique, identifiable, objectively optimal solution). A review of the literature indi cates a number of contrasting definitions of what vulnerability means, as well as numerous conflicting perspectives on what should or should not be included wi...
