BACKGROUND An earthquake struck Ludian in Yunnan Province (China) on 3 August 2014, resulting in 3143 injuries, 617 deaths, and 112 missing persons. Our study aimed at estimating the health status and associated determinants among adolescent survivors after the Ludian earthquake. METHODS A cross-sectional survey of 845 was conducted at the Ludian No. 1 Middle School. Descriptive statistics, t...

BACKGROUND Sichuan is a province in China with an extensive history of earthquakes. Recent earthquakes, including the Lushan earthquake in 2013, have resulted in thousands of people losing their homes and their families. However, there is a research gap on the efficiency of government support policies. Therefore, this study develops a new perspective to study the health of earthquake survivors,...

S U M M A R Y We present a time-independent gridded earthquake rate forecast for the European region including Turkey. The spatial component of our model is based on kernel density estimation techniques, which we applied to both past earthquake locations and fault moment release on mapped crustal faults and subduction zone interfaces with assigned slip rates. Our forecast relies on the assumpti...

An M S 6.4 earthquake occurred in Yangbi, Yunan Province, China, on 21 May 2021. The epicenter was the blind branch fault west of Weixi–Qiaohou–Weishan fault, but no surface rupture obvious. In present study, continuous vertical component waveforms that were recorded six nearby permanent stations collected and noise cross-correlation autocorrelation techniques utilized to investigate velocity c...

Abstract Dynamic earthquake rupture causes mass redistribution around the fault, and emitted propagating seismic waves are accompanied by bulk density perturbations. Both processes cause transient gravity changes prior to arrival of P-waves. Such pre-P signals have been detected in previous studies several large earthquakes. However, detections were limited vertical component signal owing high ...

[1] Some of the largest and most anomalous volcanic earthquakes have non-double-couple focal mechanisms. Here, we investigate the link between volcanic unrest and the occurrence of non-double-couple earthquakes with dominant vertical tension or pressure axes, known as vertical compensated-linear-vector-dipole (vertical-CLVD) earthquakes. We determine focal mechanisms for 313 target earthquakes ...

During the June 27, 1998 Adana (Turkey) earthquake, only one strong-motion record was retrieved in the region where the most damage occurred. This single record from the station in Ceyhan, approximately 15 km from the epicenter of that earthquake, exhibits characteristics that are related to the dominant frequencies of the ground and structures. The purpose of this paper is to explain the cause...
