Deep Carpathian Earthquake of October 26, 1802
Published in Seismic Instruments
AbstractUsing original sources of information is an important requirement in historical seismology. Modern technologies make it much easier to access old papers and other, before hardly accessible archive materials. The new possibilities lead to publications in which previously studied historical earthquakes are revised. Such is this publication. T...
Review and Proposed Method to Study the Damage Orientation of Earthquake Effects in Pre-Instrumental Earthquakes
Published in Izvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth
AbstractThe information and seismic parameters gained from pre-instrumental earthquakes are essential to improve the seismic catalogs and hazard studies. The earthquake damage (ED) that affected architectonic elements during earthquakes (e.g. fallen walls, conjugated fractures in walls, dropped keystones in arches), and when this earthquake damage ...
Traces of Seismic Activity in Architectural Monuments in Derbent, Dagestan
Published in Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics
AbstractAs a result of studies conducted in the city of Derbent, it is established that its monumental fortification structures erected at the end of the 560s AD underwent numerous strong seismic shocks during their existence. The number and approximate ages of the strong seismic events that affected Derbent throughout its history are determined by...
On Some Strong Earthquakes in Central Asia in the Second Half of the 19th Century
Published in Seismic Instruments
Abstract—Materials on earthquakes in Samarkand and Ferhana regions (Republic of Uzbekistan) in 1868–1892 are presented based on original sources of information not used before. The epicenter location and magnitude for the earthquakes April 7, 1869, and March 2, 1892, are evaluated for the first time; for the other two earthquakes (April 3, 1868, an...
About Strong Earthquakes in the Early Middle Ages in the Derbent Sector of the West Caspian Coast And Seismic Potential ...
Published in Seismic Instruments
AbstractThe article discusses the initial, including completely new, materials on strong earthquakes of the early Middle Ages in the Derbent sector of the West Caspian Sea coast. Historical and written material, stone wall engravings, and archaeological, seismogeological, and late graphic (iconography) information are presented and discussed. Geody...
On the magnitude and possible return period of the historical earthquake in ancient Savaria, 455 AD (Szombathely, West H...
Published in Austrian Journal of Earth Sciences
In 455 AD a strong, presumably M ≥ 6.0, earthquake occurred in or near the ancient town Savaria, the present Szombathely, West Hungary. According to the certainly incomplete earthquake catalogue, since then no similar significant seismic event occurred during the last 1500 years in this area which is currently considered inactive. Conclusions of th...
Search for Traces of Strong Ancient Earthquakes in the Western Caucasus: Archeoseismological Studies in Ancient Gorgippi...
Published in Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics
AbstractThe ancient city of Gorgippia is surrounded by well-known (North Black Sea, Kerch, and South Azov) seismogenic zones, all of which are submarine, and only some of their branching faults reach the surface in the coastal zone. On the surface, in the vicinity of the ancient city, there are also seismically active faults and flexure rupture zon...
Revisión y ampliación del catálogo sísmico del noroeste de la Península Ibérica previo a 1755 y sus implicaciones en la ...
La base de los estudios de peligrosidad sísmica es disponer de catálogos sísmicos lo más completos posible. En regiones intraplaca, caracterizadas por largos periodos de recurrencia entre terremotos, es esencial obtener un catálogo sísmico con un extenso intervalo temporal. El noroeste de la Península Ibérica (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Castilla...
The 1914 Earthquake in the Altai Region
Published in Seismic Instruments
The data on the earthquakes of April 13 and 25, 1914 in Altai from (Novyi katalog…, 1977) have been summarized. Based on an analysis of the earlier publications and the new data from the initial sources, it has been shown that the only seismic event occurred on April 25 (12 old style), 1914. The weak differentiation of macroseismic effects over the...
