Faulting parameters of the 1999 Mula earthquake, southeastern Spain
The seismicity of southern Spain is characterized by low-to-moderate earthquake activity (magnitudes <5.5) related to the convergence of the African and Eurasian plates. The detailed structure of this complex plate boundary is not well understood and the study of faulting parameters and depths of the small-to-moderate-size events can contribute much to our understanding of the regional stresses...
متن کاملTiming and Rates of Quaternary Normal Faulting in Central Tibet
In Summer 1998, a 400 km long seismic refraction profile (INDEPTH III) was shot in Central Tibet. Apart from recording the signals of 11 shots along the line, the stations also recorded a number of local earthquakes more or less in the extension of the line. Record sections and travel time data from both shots and earthquakes were compiled and interpreted jointly. The following peculiarities ar...
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 کاملQuaternary tectonic faulting in the Eastern United States
Paleoseismological study of geologic features thought to result from Quaternary tectonic faulting can characterize the frequencies and sizes of large prehistoric and historical earthquakes, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of seismichazard assessments. Greater accuracy and precision can reduce the likelihood of both underprotection and unnecessary design and construction costs. Publ...
متن کاملA wireless sensor network for vineyard management in Sicily (Italy)
Wine quality depends on many factors, such as the choice of variety, stock, training system, pruning as well as environmental parameters and cultivation techniques performed in the vineyard. Monitoring the micro-climate of grapevine allows to conveniently perform the most important cultivation techniques (soil management, pesticide treatments, green pruning, harvest) thus reducing the operating...
