Abstract:

An earthquake of magnitude 5.6 mb (6.6 ML) hit western Nepal (Doti region) in the wee hours of wednesday morning local time (2:12 AM, 2022.11.08) killing at least six people. Gutenberg-Richter b-value of earthquake distribution and correlation fractal dimension (D2) are estimated for 493 earthquakes with magnitude of completeness 3.6 prior to this earthquake. We consider earthquakes in western Nepal Himalaya and adjoining region (80.0–83.5°E and 27.3–30.5°N) for the period of 1964 to 2022 for the analysis. The b-value 0.68±0.03 implies a high stress zone and the spatial correlation dimension 1

Indian and Tibetan tectonic plates and therefore lies in a seismically active region. Historical data evidence the occurrence of destructive great earthquakes in the past. Earthquakes are caused mainly due to disequilibrium in any part of the crust of the earth. If we look at the world distribution of earthquake, it appears that the earthquake belts are closely associated with the weaker zones of the seismotectonics of the region. It is an instrument for seismic surveillance allowing a fast post-earthquake rescue operation. This paper incorporates a case of earthquake occurred in April, 2015 a

Abstract:

Japan has always been prone to earthquakes, as the country is located in a zone of high seismic activity known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The unique Japanese sense of nature, which is also part of national tradition, stands alongside the constant threat of earthquakes from ancient times to the present. This paper will analyze the occurrence of earthquakes in Japan, emphasizing the relationship between nature, non-human world and humanity, and their representations in mythology and folklore, with reference to the most recent devastating earthquake, the Fukushima disaster (2011).

Successful earthquake prediction includes statistical, tectonic and physical forecasting. The main requirements for this are the establishment of the laws of earthquake mechanics and control of the geodynamic state in the region at the right times. However, resolving this issue faces difficulties of both theoretical and practical nature. Despite the fact that specialists all over the World have collected the fairly complete database on earthquakes, tectonic, electromagnetic, hydrological, etc. signs of earthquakes, the very nature of predicting the future source remains uncertain.

Abstract:

An earthquake is a fatal natural disaster that occurs suddenly without any prior signal. Every year the world faces many earthquakes with magnitudes varying from low to high. The uncertain nature of earthquakes makes it almost impossible to predict the exact time of occurrence. So, it is necessary to take precautionary steps before an earthquake hits. To take preventive measures, a proper study of tectonic plates and faults must be done to gain insight into the study area's susceptibility. Due to the geological characteristics and tec-tonic plate activity, Bangladesh risks facing an Earthquake

Abstract:

Damaging earthquakes happened in the Hainaut coal basin (Belgium) in the 19th and 20th centuries but stopped after coal mining. We relocated 54 Hainaut earthquakes of the period 1965 and 1985 by using regional and local seismic phase measurements from recordings in and around Belgium. These new results finalise the Hainaut earthquake catalogue, derived from macroseismic data for the 1887–1965 period and instrumental records after 1965. This updated database allows us to discuss the origin of this intriguing seismicity. Computed focal depths show that the strongest earthquakes before 1985 occur

Abstract:

Earthquakes involve complex processes that span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. The limited earthquake predictability is partly due to the erratic nature of earthquakes and partly due to the lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms of earthquakes. To improve our understanding and possibly the predictability of earthquakes, we develop here a lagged conditional probability method to study the spatial and temporal long-term memory of interevent earthquakes above a certain magnitude. We find, in real data from different locations, that the lagged conditional probabilities sh

In order to understand how earthquakes nucleate, propagate and terminate it is essential to understand the properties and stress conditions of the surfaces upon which earthquakes occur. Fault surfaces control frictional properties and by measuring exhumed faults we can better understand earthquake propagation and how this may be linked to fault structure. In order to forecast areas of a fault likely to be at risk from future failure it is necessary to accurately model the slip that occurs during each measured earthquake. In recent years many lines of evidence suggest that fault surfaces and ea

Abstract:

Abstract Reliable seismic hazard analysis builds upon a robust reconstruction of spatiotemporal rupture variability over multi-millennial timescales. Lacustrine sediment sequences can provide long and complete records of strong seismic shaking due to the generally continuous nature of subaqueous sedimentation, allowing for high record sensitivity, continuity and accurate age control. Seismic shaking, which can originate from different seismic sources in a region, is typically recorded as in-situ deformation structures or deposits resulting from subaqueous mass-wasting, lake water oscillations

Abstract Estimating the maximum elastoplastic response of structures during earthquakes is of interest to designers. To date, only the time history analysis can calculate elastoplastic responses of structures. However, such responses are considered lack generality, because dependence of responses on accelerograms cannot be eliminated, and thus they are not always adequate as the design quantities. Contrary, the design response spectrum is generated to provide a normative response which should be considered in design. Therefore, if we can calculate elastoplastic responses of structures based on

Abstract:

Several regions of the world already have or are in the process of developing an early warning system (EWS) for earthquakes. As is well known, earthquakes cannot be predicted in the short term. However, an EWS is based on the principle that when a strong earthquake occurs, the initial seismic waves detected by seismographs near the epicentre can be quickly analysed. Once analyzed automatically, an alarm signal can be sent to more distant areas before damaging seismic waves arrive. This alert can then be used to take action before the seismic waves arrive (such as stopping industrial activities

Abstract:

In Australia as elsewhere, violent extremist actors have exploited and instrumentalised a contested information environment during concurrent crises in 2020-2021 – including the COVID pandemic and natural disasters like the recent bushfires – to mobilise, plot and commit violent attacks, oppose government emergency responses and challenge or undermine social cohesion. Crises of this nature are likely to persist in one form or another; alongside evidence that natural disasters are on the rise (UN/CRED, 2020), there has been an equally unprecedented spread of misinformation and disinformation an

Full text

Abstract:

Within a catalogue of seismic events, it is necessary to distinguish natural tectonic earthquakes from seismic events due to human activity or other natural processes. This becomes very important when the data are incorporated into models of seismic hazard, since natural and anthropogenic events follow different recurrence and scaling laws. This document outlines a two-step procedure whereby first, a most likely event type is identified, and second, confirmation or refutation is sought. The procedure is intended to be compatible with current and past practices at the Canadian Hazards Informati

Abstract:

The Latin American and Caribbean region is highly exposed to natural disasters. The social and economic impact of these events has been historically very significant and it is showing an increasingly growing trend. During the first quarter of 2010, this unfortunate reality was evidenced with the Haiti and Chile earthquakes. Preliminary impact assessments indicate that the powerful January 2010 Port-au-Prince earthquake killed more than 225,000 people and caused damages and losses of about US$8 billion dollars (about 120 percent of last year GDP).

Abstract:

This study estimates the effects of the 1970 Ancash earthquake on human capital accumulation on the affected and subsequent generation, 37 years after the shock, using the Peruvian censuses of 1993 and 2007. The main finding is that males affected by the earthquake in utero completed on average 0. 5 years less schooling while females affected by the earthquake completed 0. 8 years less schooling. Surprisingly, those whose mothers were affected at birth by the earthquake have 0. 4 less years of education, while those whose fathers were affected by the earthquake at birth have no effects on thei

Abstract:

This document was presented in the 7th Hemispheric Meeting of the Regional Policy Dialogue for the Natural Disasters Network celebrated on April 23rd and 24th, 2007. As Istanbul is a high-risk megacity, vulnerability for natural disasters such as earthquakes is very high. Risk mitigation is not only a technical issue but mostly a legal and socio-political issue and this presentation discusses lessons learned from the recent disaster of the 1999 Marmara earthquakes. Also, this presentation discusses countermeasures and legislative changes for current and future mitigation activities.
