Abstract Designing a seismic source model based on the most complete description of potentially active faults and kinematics their latest movements is an essential requirement in hazard studies, at regional local scales. A study to characterize Hispaniola island (today’s Haiti Dominican Republic) has been conducted framework probabilistic assessment for Santo Domingo (capital Republic). In this...

We present and discuss the results of a geomorphological geological study aimed at reconstructing Plio-Quaternary evolution NW Sicily coastal belt , low strain rate region in central Mediterranean Sea.We performed morphometric field analysis Quaternary marine terraces extracting more than 300 shoreline location points subdivided into six orders. The obtained dataset was validate by investigatin...

Contrary to the normally observed increase in groundwater radon that occurs prior to earthquakes, we have measured anomalous decreases in radon concentration prior to the 2003 MW1⁄4 6.8 Chengkung and 2006 MW1⁄4 6.1 Taitung earthquakes that occurred within a 55 km radius from the Antung D1 monitoring well in eastern Taiwan. The v-shaped pattern of radon anomalies recognized at Antung is valuable...

A preliminary draft of an NRC site technical position on geochemical issues at RHO/BWIP was transmitted to you on 19 January 1984. A preliminary draft STP on seismotectonic issues was given to you last week. This satisfies our commitment for input into OPS Plan Commitment 5314215. We consider that both of these documents represent the basis for the geological stability and geochemical issues th...
