The eastern parts of the Aegean Sea were struck by a destructive M W 6.9 earthquake on 30 October 2020 at 11:51:27 UTC. ruptured an East-West trending normal fault in between northern coast Samos Island and southern İzmir also triggered medium level tsunami thousands aftershocks across region. 119 fatalities, 1,051 injuries, many collapsed buildings reported due to affected most catastrophic co...

Abstract Moderate-to-large-magnitude earthquakes induce considerable short-to-medium-term increases in seismic hazard, due to the subsequent occurrence of aftershocks. Most studies on aftershock models focus their performance as part Operational Earthquake Forecasting (i.e., real- or near-real-time predictions ongoing sequences). Aftershock model validation a longer timescale is scarcely dealt ...

Abstract The 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes caused severe damage centering on the Mashiki residential area. velocity waveforms at station KMMH16 in Mashiki, during M 7.3 mainshock, show large pulses. We found that may be result of strong westward pulse. question raised is how near-fault ground motions with pulse were generated mainshock. focus characterized source model Strong Motion Generation Area...

The proximity of several recent earthquakes to the Los Angeles sedimentary basin provides an opportunity to isolate the effects of the basin on wave propagation. The 4 October 1987 aftershock (ML = 5.3) of the Whittier Narrows sequence and the 28 June 1991 Sierra Madre mainshock (ML = 5.8) are on a similar azimuth to stations overlying the deepest part of the basin. A distinctive feature of rec...

The northward migration of the Mendocino Triple Junction is associated with complex faulting within the Gorda plate and in the convergent zone between the Gorda and North American plates. This region has experienced substantial recent large earthquake activity, and quantification of these faulting processes i essential for understanding the evolution of the triple junction. Using an empirical G...

This paper focuses on aftershocks behavior and seismicity along some co-seismic faults for large earthquakes in Iran. The data of aftershocks and seismicity roughly extracted from both the Institute of Geophysics the University of Tehran (IGUT) and International Seismological Center (ISC) catalogs. Apply some essential methods on 43 large earthquakes data; like the depth, magnitude as well as t...
