Rapid Assessment of Earthquake Source Characteristics
Recent studies emphasize the rapid assessment of earthquake source properties, such as moment magnitude, to help alleviate the impact of earthquakes. Depending on local crustal structure, earthquakes occurring at different depths can differ greatly in high-frequency motions, which emphasizes the importance in constraining focal depth for the predictions of strong motions. For large earthquakes,...
متن کاملGLOBAL GEODYNAMIC EFFECt OF THE MACQUARIE RIDGE EARTHQUAKE
Besides generating seismic waves, which eventually dissipate, an earthquake also generates a static displacement field everywhere within the Earth. This global displacement field rearranges the Earth's mass distribution, using the Earth's rotational properties and gravitational field to change. The size of these changes depends, in general, upon the size of the earthquake. The Macquarie Ridge e...
متن کاملEcological Implications of Extreme Events: Footprints of the 2010 Earthquake along the Chilean Coast
Deciphering ecological effects of major catastrophic events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, storms and fires, requires rapid interdisciplinary efforts often hampered by a lack of pre-event data. Using results of intertidal surveys conducted shortly before and immediately after Chile's 2010 M(w) 8.8 earthquake along the entire rupture zone (ca. 34-38°S), we provide the first q...
متن کاملClimatic control on rapid exhumation along the Southern Himalayan Front
Along the Southern Himalayan Front (SHF), areas with concentrated precipitation coincide with rapid exhumation, as indicated by young mineral cooling ages. Twenty new, young ( < 1–5 Ma) apatite fission track (AFT) ages have been obtained from the Himalayan Crystalline Core along the Sutlej Valley, NW India. The AFT ages correlate with elevation, but show no spatial relationship to tectonic stru...
متن کاملImaging Earthquake Source Complexity
Abstract Recent improvement in analysis methods, computational resources, and seismological and geological observations enable us to image earthquake source in detail. This paper reviews various studies for each component of source imaging: model parameterization, data, theoretical wave calculation, and optimization. Differences in analysis in each of these aspects can lead to significant diffe...
