The 2008 Wells earthquake occurred on a northeast-striking, southeast-dipping fault that is clearly delineated by the aftershock swarm to a depth of 10-12 km below sea level. However, Cenozoic rocks and structures around Wells primarily record east-west extension along northto north-northeast-striking, west-dipping normal faults that formed during the middle Miocene. These faults are responsibl...

The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. The tsunami caused extensive damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, resulting in a level 7 nuclear accident. Among those affected by this combined disaster were many pregnant and parturient women. Sixteen months after the earthquake, we conducted a questionnaire survey on anxiety among 259 women who gave birth around the ...

We attempt to automatically detect earthquake events in distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data via a supervised learning approach. Detecting earthquakes with different magnitudes could potentially provide the ability of predicting major catastrophic events. Introduction Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is an emerging technology used to record seismic data that employs fiber optic cables as a...

Quantitative estimates of land-level change during the AD1700 giant Cascadia earthquake along the Oregon coastline are inferred from relative sea-level changes reconstructed from fossil foraminiferal assemblages preserved within the stratigraphic record. We apply a transfer functions based upon a regional training set of surface sediment samples from estuaries along the Oregon coast. The transf...

We study statistical properties of the number of large earthquakes over the past century. We analyze the cumulative distribution of the number of earthquakes with magnitude larger than threshold M in time interval T , and quantify the statistical significance of these results by simulating a large number of synthetic random catalogs. We find that in general, the earthquake record cannot be dist...

Many victims of The Great East Japan Earthquake lost many precious mementos. Such loses can result in more time being required to recover emotionally and mentally. This paper proposes an effective reminder management system using smell. The system focuses on fond memory recollection. Preliminary experiments using a device that produces smell showed that it was effective to help recall fond memo...

The Atlantic segment of the Africa-Europe plate boundary has usually been interpreted as a transform boundary on the basis of the bathymetric expression of the Gloria fault and dextral strike-slip first-motion mechanisms aligned along the Azores-Gibraltar line of seismicity. The 1975 May 26 earthquake (Ms=7.9) was assumed to fit into this framework because it occurred in the general area of thi...

This paper reviews the Quake-Catcher Network (QCN), a distributed computing seismic network that uses lowcost USB accelerometers to record earthquakes, and discusses the potential to incorporate QCN stations with traditional seismic networks. These very dense urban networks could then be used to create a working earthquake early warning system, as has been shown by our preliminary tests of the ...

Indonesia is an earthquake prone area, because its a located the confluence of three tectonic plates world’s. Earthquake rock event in earth’s crust that releases energy suddenly and can result loss life other damage. Therefore, it necessary to take steps reduce prevent live damage bye analyzing impact on analyses be used. Time history analysis method determine movement structure by providing r...
