Precursory Seismicity Patterns
Mature seismic gaps are defined here as gaps in which a possible precursor to a future event has been identified. The seismic potential of these seismic gaps is enhanced relative to immature seismic gaps. The seismic gap hypothesis by itself provides an excellent means of narrowing spatial limits along plate boundaries within which the great earthquakes of the next several decades are expected....
متن کاملSlope instabilities in Dolomieu crater, Réunion Island: From seismic signals to rockfall characteristics
[1] The seismic signals of hundreds of rockfalls within Dolomieu crater, Piton de la Fournaise volcano, Réunion Island, have been analyzed to investigate a possible link between physical rockfall-generating processes and associated seismic signal features. Moreover, indirect observation of rockfalls via the seismic signals they generate can provide useful data for studying volcanoes and the tem...
متن کاملInfluence of modeling material on undercut slope failure mechanism
A series of physical modeling tests were conducted by means of a beam type geotechnical centrifuge machine in order to investigate the drainage impact on the slope failure mechanism under centrifugal acceleration. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of stress redistribution in undercut slopes and the formation of arching effect were studied. For this purpose, a poorly graded sandy soil (Silica sand No. 6...
متن کاملDetection of millimetric deformation using a terrestrial laser scanner: experiment and application to a rockfall event
Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is one of the most promising surveying techniques for rockslope characterization and monitoring. Landslide and rockfall movements can be detected by means of comparison of sequential scans. One of the most pressing challenges of natural hazards is combined temporal and spatial prediction of rockfall. An outdoor experiment was performed to ascertain whether the T...
متن کاملProteomic survey reveals altered energetic patterns and metabolic failure prior to retinal degeneration.
Inherited mutations that lead to misfolding of the visual pigment rhodopsin (Rho) are a prominent cause of photoreceptor neuron (PN) degeneration and blindness. How Rho proteotoxic stress progressively impairs PN viability remains unknown. To identify the pathways that mediate Rho toxicity in PNs, we performed a comprehensive proteomic profiling of retinas from Drosophila transgenics expressing...
