Sensitivity analysis of seismic hazard for the northwestern portion of the state of Gujarat, India Sensitivity analysis of seismic hazard for the northwestern portion of the state of Gujarat, India
We test the sensitivity of seismic hazard to three fault source models for the northwestern portion of Gujarat, India. The models incorporate different characteristic earthquake magnitudes on three faults with individual recurrence intervals of either 800 or 1600 years. These recurrence intervals imply that large earthquakes occur on one of these faults every 266-533 years, similar to...

Lithology and shear-wave velocity in Memphis, Tennessee Lithology and shear-wave velocity in Memphis, Tennessee
We have derived a new three-dimensional model of the lithologic structure beneath the city of Memphis, Tennessee, and examined its correlation with measured shear-wave velocity profiles. The correlation is sufficiently high that the better-constrained lithologic model may be used as a proxy for shear-wave velocities, which are required to calculate site-amplification for new seismic...

High resolution seismic imaging of faults beneath Limón Bay, northern Panama Canal, Republic of Panama High resolution seismic imaging of faults beneath Limón Bay, northern Panama Canal, Republic of Panama
High-resolution seismic reflection profiles from Limo??n Bay, Republic of Panama, were acquired as part of a seismic hazard investigation of the northern Panama Canal region. The seismic profiles image gently west and northwest dipping strata of upper Miocene Gatu??n Formation, unconformably overlain by a thin (

East Meets West: An Earthquake in India Helps Hazard Assessment in the Central United States East Meets West: An Earthquake in India Helps Hazard Assessment in the Central United States
Although geographically distant, the State of Gujarat in India bears many geological similarities to the Mississippi Valley in the Central United States. The Mississippi Valley contains the New Madrid seismic zone that, during the winter of 1811-1812, produced the three largest historical earthquakes ever in the continental United States and remains the most seismically active region...
