the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...

(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...

the nnw-trending dena fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of zagros fold-thrust belt in borujen region. the fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. this study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of dena fault based on field evidence....

A previously undocumented body of Mutis metamorphic complex is reported from the Noil Meto River, approximately 7km south Soe town in southern West Timor. Cover sequences overlying Complex include Cretaceous Haulasi Formation (the upper element Palelo Group) which most likely has an unconformable relationship to complex; and (possibly) Permian Maubisse may overlie with unresolved stratigraphic ...

The characteristics of near-fault ground motion are investigated considering heterogeneous slip distribution on the fault plane. Areas on the fault plane with large slip in compare with the average slip on the fault are known as asperity. The characteristics of strong ground motions in near-fault area are strongly affected by faulting parameters such as asperity location, maximum slip of asperi...

Seismic modeling plays an important role in geophysics and seismology for estimating the response of seismic sources a given medium. In this work, we present MATLAB-based package, FDwave3D, synthetic wavefield seismogram 3D anisotropic media. The simulation is carried out using finite-difference method over staggered grid, it applicable to both active passive surveys. code package allows incorp...

considering recent developments in earthquake engineering, researchers has detected different effects of earthquakes far and near from the fault. investigations that have been done in this area show that near fault earthquakes have shorter time period comparing far fault earthquakes and in the velocity of near fault earthquakes, there are one or more impacting pulses with a big domain and perio...

The Slano Blato landslide is more than 1290 m long, 60 to 200 m wide and 3 to 11 m deep with a volume of about 700 000 m3. It is located in the Eocene flysch region of western Slovenia with a limestone overthrust in the direct vicinity, above the landslide. The landslide moves mainly as a viscous earth flow with occurrences of rapid mud flows. In dry periods or in freezing conditions it behaves...
