The role of structural inheritance in oblique rifting: insights from analogue models and application to the Gulf of Aden
The geometry and kinematics of rifts are strongly controlled by pre-existing structures that may be present in both the crust and the mantle lithosphere. In the Gulf of Aden, the Tertiary oblique rift developed through inherited Mesozoic extensional basins that trend orthogonal to the direction of Oligo-Miocene divergence. Such inheritance may produce lateral variations in crustal thickness and...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for earthquake source parameters
S U M M A R Y We develop a method to obtain confidence intervals of earthquake source parameters, such as stress drop, seismic moment and corner frequency, from single station measurements. We use the idea of jackknife variance combined with a multitaper spectrum estimation to obtain the confidence regions. The approximately independent spectral estimates provide an ideal case to perform jackkn...
متن کاملInvestigation of historical earthquake by seismic wave propagation simulation: Source parameters of the 1887 M6.3 Ligurian, north-western Italy, earthquake
RÉSUMÉ. Les simulations numériques haute performance de la propagation des ondes sismiques de la source à la surface du sol sont un outil puissant pour l’étude d’un séisme. Comme la sismologie moderne basée sur les observations instrumentales n’existe que depuis quelques décennies, la simulation numérique est essentielle pour l’étude des séismes historiques ou l’estimation de futurs séismes pou...
متن کاملOptimizing Group Transit in the Gulf of Aden
The situation around the Horn of Africa is critical. The pirates attack transiting vessels on daily basis and even though various counter-piracy measures have been employed, there is still a great potential for the optimization of these navigation techniques. We focus on optimization of a specific transit scheme – combination of the International Recommended Transit Corridor with Group Transits...
متن کاملLocal Tsunamis and Earthquake Source Parameters
A persistent problem in estimating the severity of local tsunamis generated by earthquakes is explaining the great event-to-event variability of tsunami run-up heights relative to the magnitude of the earthquake. Undoubtedly, there is always variability in run-up that is dependent on local bathymetry. However, many earthquakes in recent years have produced unexpectedly high local run-up heights...
