Karkheh Dam is the largest dam in Iran with a capacity of about 7.4×109 cubic meters and height of 127 meters. Since the first impoundment, increasing in seismic activity in the dam area has been observed that indicates the possible occurrence of reservoir-induced seismicity (RIS).In the present work, a preliminary evaluation is conducted firstly in order to investigate these observations. Base...

This chapter surveys a growing body of evidence showing the impacts that historical events can have on current economic development. Over the past two decades historical persistence has been documented in a wide variety of time periods and locations, and over remarkably long time horizons. Although progress continues to be made identifying and understanding underlying mechanisms, the existing e...

Abstract The largest earthquake (M s 8½) in eastern China occurred near Tancheng 1668. Six M ≥ 6 earthquakes this region historical time. We re-examine the primary archives from region, adding independent constraints such as maps of active faults, local topography, intensity attenuation laws for China, and relevant administrative practices archiving data, to reassess source parameters (epicente...
