abstract

the source parameters and focal depth of the destructive mw 6.5, 31 march. 2006 iran- silakhor earthquake, the two largest foreshocks and a major aftershock are determined using broadband data from a seismic network in iran based on a time-domain linear moment tensor inversion. the earthquakes occurred in the zagros suture zone in western iran. waveform inversion of the selected events estimated focal depths in the range of 15–20km which limits the brittle–ductile transition zone beneath parts of the studied area. the dominant double-couple part of the moment tensor solutions for most of the events indicates that the analysis is working reasonably well and that the amplitudes at the individual stations are not too disturbed by local structure or noise. re-evaluation of the analyzed events shows predominantly right-lateral strike-slip faulting consistent with the relative motions of the significant faulting in the region.

31 march 2006 darbe astaneh silakhor earthquake, focal mechanism determination

one of the methods for the determination of focal mechanisms of earthquakes is the linear inversion of moment tensor in time domain. that method is used here for determining of the focal mechanisms the darbe astaneh silakhor earthquake of 31 march 2006 and two of its foreshocks and six aftershocks with local magnitude more than 4. the data of six broadband stations of the international institut...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Slip model of the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan (China) earthquake derived from co-seismic GPS data

Near-field co-seismic GPS data were used to derive the slip distribution of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Based on field measurements and geological observations, the earthquake is represented by ruptures on the Beichuan fault and a neighboring fault from Pengxian to Guanxian, both dipping with a decreasing angle with depth. Using a layered elastic crust model, we obtained a slip model t...

Parameters of the M w 5 . 8 Fin ( South of Iran ) Earthquake of March 25 , 2006

Teleseismic body waveform modeling of the far-field P-and SH-waveforms and spectral analysis of P-waves are used to determine the source parameters of the March 25, 2006 Fin earthquake (mb 5.7). Its epicenter is located at the South of Iran in Hormozgan Province. The waveform modeling results show the earthquake was caused by a thrust motion on a NW-SE striking fault with parameters: Fault plan...
