Knowledge of the 3-D shape of active faults is of fundamental importance in many fields, from earthquake hazards, to oil exploration, to regional tectonics and seismotectonics. We have developed techniques in 3-D fault modeling whose applications range from models of single fault surfaces or small...
For these faults and for shallow seismicity less than 50 km deep, we incorporate published ground-motion estimates from tectonically active regions of western North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Ground-motion estimates for deeper seismicity are derived from data in subduction environments. We...
"In our hazards maps right now, in most places, we don't have direct evidence of what kind of earthquake mechanisms could occur," said Jack Baker, a professor of civil and environmental engineering who was not involved with the study. "It's exciting that we have switched from this blind ...

of North America (1969, 1:5,000,000), Africa (1968, 1:5,000,000), India (1969, 1:2,000,000), and Australia (1972, 1:5,000,000). The International Geological Congress is sponsoring the preparation of a tectonic map of the world on a scale of 1:15,000,000; the work for the...
Seismicity of Suwawa Timur area based on analysis of earthquake: the depth and magnitude North Sulawesi is an area close to the earthquake source due to tectonic processes such as active faults. This study aims to analyze the earthquake in Suwawa Timur from the earthquake depth and magnitude da...
The seismic hazard and earthquake occurrence rates in Hawaii are lo-cally as high as that near the most hazardous faults elsewhere in the United States. We... FW Klein,AD Frankel,CS Mueller,... - 《Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America》 被引量: 66发表: 2001年 Consistency of ...
No recorded earthquake has yet been correlated with observed fault displacement at the ground surface along the Malibu coastline; however, it may be possible to associate some well-located earthquakes with faults exposed at the surface. To test this idea, we are projecting the nodal planes from ...
The Dead Sea is located in a deep valley at the transform boundary between the African and Arabia Plates (shown as a black line on the map above). At over 400 meters below sea level, it is the land area with the lowest elevation. The motions of the African and Arabian Plates, ...
Holocene faulting and earthquake recurrence along the Serghaya branch of the Dead Sea fault system in Syria and Lebanon SUMMARYThe Serghaya fault, located approximately along the Syrian–Lebanese border, is a prominent structure within the 200 km restraining bend in the left... F Gomez,M Meghrao...
