Abstract:
We present a precis of our reconnaissance trip to the area of the magnitude 8.3 June 23 2001 southern Peru earthquake and tsunami. The trip was undertaken because of the relevance of the event to hazard assessment in New Zealand. It is the best example in nearly 40 years of the maximum-size earthquake that might occur on the Hikurangi subduction zone, an event that is absent from the historical record of New Zealand (since 1840) and therefore of unknown potential in terms of hazard. Despite the great magnitude of this subduction interface earthquake, it produced only "moderately strong" levels of earthquake shaking (peak ground acceleration of 0.3g on alluvium from the one strong motion accelerograph in the earthquake area, and Modified Mercalli Intensity 8 in the epicentral area), and relatively minor ground damage (liquefaction and landslides). It did however produce a large and devastating tsunami. Our comparison of the one accelerograph record and attenuation curves for subduction interface earthquakes shows that the strength of shaking was typical for subduction interface earthquakes. If we apply our observations to New Zealand, they imply that a Hikurangi subduction interface earthquake may be less damaging to built-up areas in the southeastern part of the North Island (e.g. Wellington and Napier/Hastings) than earthquakes on major active faults in the shallow crust. However, the lateral extent of the strongest shaking in a subduction earthquake (300 km for the southern Peru event) and the associated tsunami generation will make the earthquake very significant in the national context.

Abstract:
Abstract Global earthquake catalogs covering the early twentieth century differ in their listings of a large earthquake, or earthquakes, on 12 December 1908. Some catalogs list an M∼7 earthquake originating in northern Myanmar (Burma) at ∼12:55 UTC on that date. Other catalogs do not list the Myanmar origin but list an earthquake with magnitude 8.2 originating in or near Peru at 12:08 UTC on the date. Some catalogs list both origins, but sometimes with additional evidence suggesting that the 1908 M 8.2 Peru origin may be “mythical.” In a review of arrival times of phases reported in seismic bulletins of 1908, conducted specifically to identify data that might be consistent with the sometimes‐cataloged Peru origin, we do not find a coherent set of such data. Many bulletin arrival times reported for 12 December 1908, however, are mutually consistent with the cataloged Myanmar origin. Comparisons of seismograms recorded at the Seismological Observatory of Göttingen in Germany (station GTT) on 12 December 1908 with seismograms obtained on the same instruments for later large earthquakes that are reliably located in Myanmar and Peru, respectively, are consistent with the implication of the bulletin arrival‐time observations. We conclude that a major earthquake did indeed occur in or near northern Myanmar on 12 December 1908 but that there was not on that date a great earthquake near Peru that would correspond to the sometimes‐cataloged M 8.2 Peru origin.

Abstract:
Earthquakes in deeply subducted oceanic lithosphere can involve either brittle or dissipative ruptures. On 24 November 2015, two deep (606 and 622 km) magnitude 7.5 and 7.6 earthquakes occurred 316 s and 55 km apart. The first event (E1) was a brittle rupture with a sequence of comparable-size subevents extending unilaterally ~50 km southward with a rupture speed of ~4.5 km/s. This earthquake triggered several aftershocks to the north along with the other major event (E2), which had 40% larger seismic moment and the same duration (~20 s), but much smaller rupture area and lower rupture speed than E1, indicating a more dissipative rupture. A minor energy release ~12 s after E1 near the E2 hypocenter, possibly initiated by the S wave from E1, and a clear aftershock ~165 s after E1 also near the E2 hypocenter, suggest that E2 was likely dynamically triggered. Differences in deep earthquake rupture behavior are commonly attributed to variations in thermal state between subduction zones. However, the marked difference in rupture behavior of the nearby Peru doublet events suggests that local variations of stress state and material properties significantly contribute to diverse behavior of deep earthquakes.

Abstract:
We estimated, from twelve scenarios of potential megathrust earthquakes, the tsunami impact on the Lima-Callao region in Central Peru. In addition, we conducted hazard mapping using the local envelope of the maximum inundation simulated in these scenarios. The deterministic approach is supported by the decades of geodetic measurements in this area that characterize the interseismic strain build up since historical megathrust earthquakes. The earthquake scenarios for simulation proposed in [1] introduce spatially correlated short-wavelength slip heterogeneities to a first slip model in [2] calculated from the interseismic coupling (ISC) distribution in Central Peru. The ISC was derived from GPS monitoring data as well as from historical earthquake information. The results of strong ground motion simulations in [1] reported that the slip scenario with the deepest average peak values along the strike (Mw= 8.86) generates the largest PGA in the Lima-Callao area. In this study, we found from tsunami simulation results that the slip model with the largest peak slip at a shallow depth (Mw= 8.87) yielded the highest tsunami inundation. Such differences in maximum scenarios for peak ground acceleration and tsunami height reveal the importance of a comprehensive assessment of earthquake and tsunami hazards in order to provide plausible worstcase scenarios for disaster risk management and education.

Abstract:
Data on resuscitation potentials immediately following major earthquakes are lacking. Published reports have been unrevealing. Retrospective interviews of surviving eyewit esses might be more revealing. The epicenter of the last major Peruvian earthquake of May 30, 1970, was off the coast, but the damage included most of central Peru including the Andean Range. A total of 80,000 people were killed, including the entire population of Yungay (25,000), buried alive by several m of an ice-mud-rock avalanche which broke off Mt. Huascaran (22,000ft.). There, resuscitation potential was zero. In nearby Huaras (pop. 30,000, alt. 12,000 ft.), 15,000 died, 90% of houses were destroyed. Interviews with lay survivors gave unclear reports.

Abstract:
We estimate several scenarios for source models of megathrust earthquakes likely to occur on the Nazca-South American plates interface in southern Peru. To do so, we use a methodology for estimating the slip distribution of megathrust earthquakes based on an interseismic coupling (ISC) distribution model in subduction margins and on information about historical earthquakes. The slip model obtained from geodetic data represents large-scale features of asperities within the megathrust that are appropriate for simulating long-period waves and tsunami modelling. To simulate broadband frequency strong ground motions, we add small scale heterogeneities to the geodetic slip by using spatially correlated random noise distributions. Using these slip models and assuming several hypocenter locations, we calculate a set of strong ground motions for southern Peru and incorporate site effects obtained from microtremors array surveys in Tacna, the southernmost city in Peru.

Full text
Abstract:
Arrival times from intermediate-depth (110-150 km) earthquakes within the region of flat subduction beneath central Peru provide constraints on the geometry and velocity structure of the subducting Nazca plate. Hypocenters for these events, which are beneath the sub-andean and eastern Peruvian basins, were determined using a best-fitting onedimensional velocity-depth model with a 15-station digitally-recording network deployed in the epicentral region. For that model, P-wave travel times to coastal stations, about 6° trenchward, exhibit negative residuals of up to 4 seconds and have considerably more complexity than arrivals at the network stations. The residuals at coastal stations are conjectured to result from travel paths with long segments in the colder, higher velocity subducting plate. Travel time anomalies were modeled by 3-D raytracing. Computed ray paths show that travel times to coastal stations for the eastern Peru events can be satisfactorilymodeled if velocities relative to the surrounding mantle are 6% lower within the uppermost slab (a 6 km thick layer composed of basaltic oceanic crust) and 8% higher within the cold peridotitic layer (which must be at least 44 km thick). Raytracing runs for this plate model show that "shadow zones" can occur if the source-slab-receiver geometry results in seismic rays passing through regions in which the slab undergoes significant changes in slope. Such geometries exist for seismic waves propagating to some coastal stations from sources located beneath the eastern Peruvian basin. Observed first-arrival times for such cases do in fact have less negative residuals than those for geometries which allow for \direct\ paths. Modeling such arrivals as trapped mode propagation through the high-velocity part of the plate produces arrival times consistent with those observed.

Abstract:
Cette recherche vise à étudier la double réponse de l'Etat et une partie de la population sud péruvienne de la catastrophe provoquée par le tremblement de terre du 13 Août 1868 aux départements du sud du Pérou. Basé sur la mémoire sismique profondément enracinée dans cette région, produit de souvenirs de grands tremblements de terre au cours des trois cents dernières années, cet événement sismique a été perçu par ses contemporains comme le plus violent de toute l'histoire de la région de la côte sud du Pérou. Aujourd'hui, les sismologues également ont reconnu comme la plus grande ampleur et l'intensité ont eu lieu non seulement dans la région mais à travers le Pérou au cours des cinq derniers siècles. D'autre part, dans la zone touchée ont été réglées centres urbains des centaines d'échelle très différente, allant des grandes villes aux petites villes comme Arequipa seulement des centaines d'habitants autochtones, situés dans les parties supérieures de la montagne. Par conséquent, la catastrophe de 1868 est le résultat de l'interaction initiale de deux facteurs, un fréquent événement géologique dans la région directement touchée structure urbaine diversifiée, vulnérables à l'action d'un phénomène naturel de cette ampleur. À travers le titre que je voulais mettre en évidence tous les éléments impliqués dans cette recherche. D'une part, une situation (la catastrophe) impliquant deux joueurs (la société et de l'Etat), a accéléré directement par un événement naturel (tremblement de terre), qui se produit dans un domaine spécifique (départements péruviens du sud), comparativement à qui développe un processus (reconstruction) s'étendant sur une dizaine d'années (1868-1878). La réaction de l'Etat a été rapide que possible pour faire face à la phase d'urgence et de réhabilitation. Toutefois, la reconstruction a été une période d'une décennie qui mets en évidence les carences de l'État que l'allocation des ressources dans la région touchée n'était pas constant dans le temps et, bien au contraire diminué de quasiment disparaître dans les préoccupations budgétaires des gouvernements successifs des années 1870. Pendant ce temps, l'économie s'est redressée de manière significative, matérialisée dans un processus qui est à la fois une augmentation du volume de la production agricole, en particulier le vin et le commerce intérieur et international. Ne doit pas être négligé que la reconstruction a dû faire face à des difficultés en raison de l'émergence de nouveaux risques naturels influencé aussi les difficultés à maintenir un rythme approprié de récupération. La recherche a également identifié une internationalisation de la catastrophe, c'est à dire, l'ensemble des informations de diverses manières (privé, militaire et diplomatique) a élargi la connaissance des caractéristiques de la catastrophe qui contribuent de manière significative à la création de conditions pour l'organisation et l'orientation l'aide de différentes origines, mais surtout monétaire de la zone touchée
This research aims to study the dual response of the state and a section of the southern Peruvian population to the catastrophe caused by the earthquake of August 13, 1868 in the departments of southern Peru. Based on seismic memory deeply rooted in that area, souvenir product of large earthquakes in the past three hundred years, this seismic event was perceived by contemporaries as the most violent of all the regional history of the southern coast of Peru. Today, seismologists also recognized as the largest magnitude and intensity occurred not only in the area but throughout Peru in the last five centuries. On the other hand, in the affected area were settled urban centers hundreds of very different scale, ranging from large cities to small towns like Arequipa just hundreds indigenous inhabitants, located in the upper parts of the mountain. Therefore, the catastrophe of 1868 is the result of the initial interaction of two factors, one frequently occurring geological event in the area directly affected diverse urban structure, vulnerable to the action of a natural phenomenon of this magnitude. Through the title I wanted to highlight all the elements involved in this research. On one hand, a situation (the catastrophe) involving two players (the society and the state), accelerated directly by a natural event (the earthquake), which occurs in a specific area (southern Peruvian departments), compared to which develops a process (reconstruction) extending for about a decade (1868-1878). The state's reaction was swift as possible to deal with the emergency and rehabilitation phase. However, the reconstruction was a period over a decade demonstrated the failings of the state as the allocation of resources to the affected area was not constant in time and quite the contrary diminished to virtually disappear in the budgetary concerns of successive governments of the 1870s. Meanwhile, the economy recovered significantly, materialized process both increased volume of agricultural production, especially wine, and domestic and international trade. Should not be overlooked that the reconstruction had to face difficulties due to the emergence of new natural hazards influenced also the difficulties to maintain an appropriate pace of recovery. Research has also identified an internationalization of the disaster, ie, the set of information in various ways (private, military and diplomatic) expanded the knowledge of the characteristics of the disaster significantly contributing to creating conditions for the organization and referral aid of different origins, although mainly Monetary to the affected area

Abstract:
On August 15, 2007, Pisco, Peru was hit by an earthquake of Magnitude (Mw) = 8.0 which triggered multiple liquefaction induced lateral spreads. The subduction earthquake lasted for approximately 100 seconds and showed a complex rupture. From the geotechnical perspective, the Pisco earthquake was significant for the amount of soil liquefaction observed. A massive liquefaction induced seaward displacement of a marine terrace was observed in the Canchamana complex. Later analysis using the pre- and post-earthquake images showed that the lateral displacements were concentrated only on some regions. Despite the lateral homogeneity of the marine terrace, some cross-sections showed large displacements while others had minimal displacements. The detailed documentation of this case-history makes it an ideal case-study for the determination of the undrained strength of the liquefied soils; hence, the main objective of this research is to use the extensive data from the Canchamana Slide to estimate the shear strength of the liquefied soils. In engineering practice, the undrained strength of liquefied soil is typically estimated by correlating SPT-N values to: 1) absolute value of residual strength, or 2) residual strength ratio. Our research aims to contribute an important data point that will add to the current understanding of the residual strength of liquefied soils.

Abstract:
One early October morning in 1687, the ground under the large Spanish colonial city of Lima, Peru rumbled. If longstanding historiographical portraits of Spanish government as inefficient and weak were true, the earthquake that was about to shatter Lima should have devastated it beyond repair. The study of the aftermath of this natural disaster reveals that behind the landscape of destruction, the pillars of the colonial state in Lima not only held up but also permitted its rapid recovery after the event. As part of a more recent historiographical trend that reappraises the Spanish decline during the seventeenth century, my dissertation reevaluates the performance of colonial administration in Lima, the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. It focuses on deliberate changes carried out during the 1680s, when the metropolis implemented a series of fiscal and administrative reforms, whose effects were interrupted but not destroyed by the challenge posed by the earthquake of 1687. The use of extensive contemporary archival sources, both official and private, provides a multifaceted vista on the performance of royal agents and colonial subjects responding to the earthquake. A close reading of these sources unveils the rebuilding of the state in various facets: government attempts to impose authority and bring order to the chaos; the patrimonial logic of rules that colonial administrators faced when trying to implement rebuilding projects; colonial subjects’ expectations of royal agents and each other; negotiations among authorities and ordinary people over the terms of rebuilding the city; and the importance of inhabitants’ understandings of justice, founded in law and custom, to carrying out city reconstruction.

Abstract:
Critical inputs to evaluate fault behavior models include the frequency of large earthquakes on plate boundary faults, amount of displacement, style of deformation in these events, and how these earthquakes are associated with adjacent sites and broader segments. Paleoseismic data provide these inputs and allow the characterization of hazard posed by individual faults. This dissertation presents results from paleoseismic studies at Hazel Dell and Frazier Mountain that provide new earthquake chronologies and slip estimates for the San Andreas Fault (SAF). These data provide new insights into the recurrence and style of coseismic deformation for surface rupturing earthquakes on the SAF. The Hazel Dell site provides the first definitive paleoseismic evidence of two pre-1906, 19th century earthquakes on the Santa Cruz Mountains section of the SAF. I correlate these paleoseismic findings with the historic record of ground shaking associated with earthquakes in that period and combine the style of deformation in the last 3 events at the site with results from nearby paleoseismic sites to estimate earthquake rupture lengths and magnitudes for these early historic events. These findings increase the frequency of historic surface rupturing earthquakes on the northern SAF three-fold. At the Frazier Mountain site, on the southern SAF, I mapped deformation across a releasing step on the fault for the last five surface rupturing earthquakes to estimate deformation per-event. I compare the geometry and amount of vertical relief generated across the step-over by retrodeforming 3D surfaces interpolated from paleoseismic data step-wise for stratigraphic units deformed by each of those earthquakes. I find that structural relief is similar in four of the last five events, so slip on the fault must be within the same range for these earthquakes to generate approximately equivalent structural relief across the step-over. These results suggest displacement on the fault is comparable at the Frazier Mountain site for the last 4 events, including deformation resulting from 4-5 m lateral displacements in the historic M 7.9 1857 earthquake. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished coauthored material. Supplemental file Plate A includes additional trench logs for the Hazel Dell site, presented in Chapters II and III.

Abstract:
This paper investigates whether people from Western countries pay more attention to earthquakes in Western countries than those in non-Western countries. Using Google Trends data, we examine the proportion of Google searches from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand for 610 earthquakes across the world over the period of 2006-2016. Our results suggest that people in these countries pay around 44 percent more attention to earthquakes in Western countries, holding constant earthquake magnitude and number of casualties. Our results remain significant and similar in magnitude after controlling for geographical and social characteristics, but reduce in magnitude to almost zero and become insignificant after controlling for GDP per capita of the countries where the earthquake struck. Our results suggest that there is a developed country bias, rather than a Western country bias, in people’s attention. This bias might lead to a lower flow of international relief to economically less developed countries, which are less able to deal with disasters.

Abstract:
Subsea facilities located in earthquake-prone regions of the world can be subjected to severe excitation and have to be designed in a two-tier manner against both ELE and ALE level earthquakes. The return period of these earthquake levels can be 100–300 years and greater than 1000 years, respectively. These facilities may typically consist of rigid pipelines, sliding PLET structures on skirted or hybrid mudmat foundations, connected via rigid spools or jumpers to manifolds on suction pile foundations, with flexible flowlines hanging off goosenecks. In recent practice Subsea 7 have developed a novel methodology for modelling and simulating the seismic response of such complex clusters in which the so called “system effects” are intractable and dominate the response of certain critical components. Chief amongst the latter are rigid spools and jumpers that span large distances between PLEM, PLET and X-Tree structures without touching the seabed. In the nonlinear implicit direct integration dynamic FE analyses in Abaqus each of the cluster models in a project is subjected to time history accelerations of seven representative earthquakes, as per ISO 19901-2 requirements. Hysteretic damping characteristics of soil-structure interfaces are modelled with special kinematically hardening elements, calibrated to the site-specific seabed geotechnical properties. Specially developed post processing scripts are used to automatically extract the vital information from the large amount of data produced and perform the unity checks of various components to their respective codes of practice.

Abstract:
Process plants are vulnerable to natural hazards and, in particular, to earthquakes. Nevertheless, the quantitative assessment of seismic risk of process plants is a complex task because available methodologies developed in the field of civil and nuclear engineering are not readily applicable to process plants, while technical standards and regulations do not establish any procedure for the overall seismic risk assessment of industrial process plants located in earthquake-prone areas. This paper details the results of a case study performing a seismic risk assessment of an Italian refinery having a 85,000 barrels per day production capacity, and a storage capacity of over 1,500,000 m3. The analysis has been carried out resorting to a novel quantitative methodology developed in the framework of a European Union research program (INDUSE 2 SAFETY). The method is able to systematically generate potential starting scenarios, deriving from simultaneous interactions of the earthquake with each separate equipment, and to account for propagation of effects between distinct equipment (i.e. Domino effects) keeping track of multiple simultaneous and possibly interacting chains of accidents. In the paper the methodology, already described elsewhere, is briefly resumed, and numerical results are presented showing relevant accident chains and expected economic loss, demonstrating the capabilities of the developed tool.
