We deployed a dense linear array of 45 seismometers across and along the San Andreas fault near Parkfield a week after the M 6.0 Parkfield earthquake on 28 September 2004 to record fault-zone seismic waves generated by aftershocks and explosions. Seismic stations and explosions were co-sited with our previous experiment conducted in 2002. The data from repeated shots detonated in the fall of 20...

Ancient City of Ray, located at the southern urban part of Tehran province, is one of the best recognized civilization sites in the world. In this study, the past earthquake incidence in Ray was reviewed using hazards united states tool as a geographic information system-based natural hazard analysis tool. hazards united states tool was chosen to estimate the damage on structural and non-struct...

This article examines how major Japanese national newspapers - t he Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Yomiuri Nihon Keizai and Sankei Shimbun discussed 2020 Tokyo Olympics as “Recovery Olympics” in relation to radioactive materials a key post-Fukushima environmental contamination issue. Although many scholars have critically examined concept of Recovery context Great East Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, F...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Growing evidence is indicating that some of disaster affected people face challenges to resume normal life several months after an earthquake. However, there is no sufficient in-depth understanding of complex process of resuming normal life after an earthquake in Iran, as one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, and in rural areas as a particular setting. ...

The recent Mw 9.0 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake is the largest recorded earthquake in Japan’s history. The Tohoku main shock and its aftershocks generated widespread strong shakings as large as ∼3000 Gal along the east coast of Japan. Wu and Peng (2011) found clear drop of resonant frequency of up to 70% during the Tohoku main shock at 6 sites and correlation of resonance (peak) fr...

One of the most important components of recovery and speedy response during and immediately after an earthquake disaster is a communication and tracking which possibly capable of discovering affected peoples and connects them with their families, friends, and communities with first responders and/or to support computational systems. With the capabilities of current mobile technologies, we belie...

The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake destroyed large areas of vegetation in the Baisha River and Longxi River basins, in Dujiangyan County, China. There were several debris flow events in these mountainous river basins after 2008. Currently, these damaged vegetation areas are in various stages of recovery. This recovery vegetation improves the resistance of slopes to both surficial erosion and mass was...

The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011 was the earthquake and tsunami of the largest in the earthquake that occurred in Japan. Despite the passage of time, some people living of the Pacific coast of Tohoku have complained about the mental and physical condition such as insomnia and anxiety. This means that some people who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake are ...

We examined structural changes in the molluscan community for ten years (2001-2010) before and five years (2011-2015) after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami around Matsushima Bay, Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan. Before the earthquake and tsunami, Ruditapes philippinarum, Macoma incongrua, Pillucina pisidium, and Batillaria cumingii were dominant, and an alien p...

An experiment in an oil field at Rangely, Colorado, has demonstrated the feasibility of earthquake control. Variations in seismicity were produced by controlled variations in the fluid pressure in a seismically active zone. Precise earthquake locations revealed that the earthquakes clustered about a fault trending through a zone of high pore pressure produced by secondary recovery operations. L...
