Archaeological Investigation and Hazard Assessment Using Magnetic, Ground-Penetrating Radar, and GPS Tools at Dahshour A...
Published in Frontiers in Earth Science
An archeological study using magnetic and ground-penetrating radar methods has been performed at the Dahshour region (Giza, Egypt), where various covered structures have not been found because of the long coercion of the zone under the military specialists. Dahshour is the southern extension of the Saqqara and Giza Pyramids plateau, around 25 km so...
Adults' expectations on children's earthquake-related emotions and coping strategies.
Published in Psychology, health & medicine
Natural disasters such as earthquakes have a highly traumatic impact on psychological functioning. Recently, the study of children's earthquake-related emotions and coping strategies has gathered attention. However, little is known on the corresponding adults' representation, adults who in case of disasters are frequently key informants on children...
StEER: A Community-Centered Approach to Assessing the Performance of the Built Environment after Natural Hazard Events
Published in Frontiers in Built Environment
Since its founding in 2018, the Structural Extreme Events Reconnaissance (StEER) Network has worked to deepen the capacity of the Natural Hazards Engineering (NHE) community for coordinated and standardized assessments of the performance of the built environment following natural hazard events. This paper positions StEER within the field of enginee...
Instrumental Circuit for Extending the Frequency Responses of Short-Period Sensors on the Example of the SM-3KV Seismome...
Published in Seismic Instruments
AbstractThe application of special sensor correction methods may allow the use of short-period seismometers with an extended frequency range in the absence of broadband sensors to solve a wide range of problems associated with recording low-frequency signals. The paper considers an instrumental correction circuit that uses integrating elements to b...
Three-Dimensional Geomechanical Model of Kamchatka
Published in Izvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth
Abstract—A three-dimensional geomechanical model of Kamchatka is constructed. The model describes fault tectonics and main structural discontinuities such as Moho and the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary as well as the terrain topography with mountain relief and bathymetry. The model is loaded with self-weight forces, thermal stresses, and horizo...
Extracting Correlations in Earthquake Time Series Using Visibility Graph Analysis
Published in Frontiers in Physics
Recent observation studies have revealed that earthquakes are classified into several different categories. Each category might be characterized by the unique statistical feature in the time series, but the present understanding is still limited due to their non-linear and non-stationary nature. Here we utilize complex network theory to shed new li...
Microzoning Tsunami Hazard by Combining Flow Depths and Arrival Times
Published in Frontiers in Earth Science
Tsunami hazard is typically assessed from inundation flow depths estimated from one or many earthquake scenarios. However, information about the exact time when such inundation occurs is seldom considered, yet it is crucial for pedestrian evacuation planning. Here, we propose an approach to estimating tsunami hazard by combining tsunami flow depths...
Seismicity of the Northern Volcanic Zone of Iceland
Published in Frontiers in Earth Science
A half century of monitoring of the Northern Volcanic Zone of Iceland, a branch of the North America—Eurasia plate boundary, shows that the seismicity is very unevenly distributed, both in time and space. The four central volcanoes at the boundary, Þeistareykir, Krafla, Fremrinámar, and Askja, show persistent but very low-level seismicity, spatiall...
Stress–Strain State of the Earth’s Crust in the Central Caucasus
Published in Seismic Instruments
AbstractThe Caucasus is a region of continental collision between Eurasia and Arabia and one of the Earth’s most seismically active and rapidly deformed continental regions. The wide range of deformation processes occurring in this relatively limited region makes the Caucasus as a whole and its central parts in particular a unique test area, the st...
