1. The multidimensional character of seismicity: time, space, and earthquake focal mechanism need to be modeled. The latter is a symmetric second-rank tensor of a special kind. 2. The intrinsic randomness of earthquake occurrence, necessitating the use of stochastic point processes and appropriate complex statistical techniques. 3. The scale-invariant or fractal properties of earthquake process...

Transverse basement (TB) faults are important structures in the mountain belts or sedimentary basins influencing various aspects of them. The origin of these faults is diverse, but their effect on the shape and configuration of continental margins is characteristics. The Western Alborz range that borders the South Caspian basin to southwest is a complex range with principal faults and known ear...

[1] The 1994 Double Spring Flat (DSF) earthquake (M5.9) was the largest earthquake to strike Nevada in more than 30 years. It occurred in the Sierra Nevada-Basin and Range Transition Zone within a step-over region between two major normal faults. Descending and ascending ERS interferograms show a maximum range change of 8.5 cm which is the coseismic ground displacement associated with this norm...

Precise zonation of the territory of China has been performed based on the active known faults, type of faulting and seismicity level. One hundred and forty seven seismogenic regions were de®ned, forming 10 larger seismic areas, and the seismotectonic characteristics in each one of them were investigated in detail. After checking for data accuracy and completeness of the shallow earthquakes (h ...

Reservoir-induced seismicity has been observed near Koyna Dam, India since the early 1960s. In order to understand the seismotectonics of the region we analyzed available seismicity data from 1963 to 1995. Over 300 earthquakes with M]3.0 were relocated using revised location parameters (station locations, velocity model, station delays and Vp /Vs ratio). The spatial pattern of earthquakes was i...

In this paper we propose a tri-stage cluster identification model that is a combination of a simple single iteration di tance algorithm and an iterative K-means algorithm. In this study of earthquake seismicity, the model considers event location, time and magnitude information from earthquake catalog data to efficiently classify events as either background or mainshock and aftershock sequences...

Batubesi Dam which is located in Sorowako region in the middle part of Sulawesi island had been designed with seismic coefficient about 0.20g. The region constitutes an active earthquake zone with the recurrence frequency and magnitude of the earthquake are relatively high. The region is located on and active fault zone due to lateral fault movement (strike-slip) of Matano fault, Palukoro fault...

Goebel et al. question our forecasted response of induced seismicity to reduction of saltwater injection rates in north-central Oklahoma and raise the concern that "the probability of future damaging earthquakes may be underestimated." We compare our prediction to earthquake data recorded in the 8 months after publication. Observed seismicity rates and magnitudes agree with the forecast of our ...

Slow slip events (SSEs) at subduction zones can precede large-magnitude earthquakes and may serve as precursor indicators, but the triggering of by slow remains insufficiently understood. Here, we combine geodetic, Coulomb wedge failure-stress models with seismological data to explore potential causal relationship between two SSEs 2018 Mw 6.9 Zakynthos Earthquake within Hellenic Subduction Syst...

iran is located in an area with high earthquake risk. there are over 20 active faults with length of 500 km and also densely populated parts of the country have been rendered vulnerable to strong earthquakes. however, existence of eight faults of the main faults of iran along with at least 18 faults with length of more than 100 km in kerman province have turned the place into one of the riskies...
