Revisiting the 23 February 1892 Laguna Salada earthquake Revisiting the 23 February 1892 Laguna Salada earthquake
According to some compilations, the Laguna Salada, Baja California, earthquake of 23 February 1892 ranks among the largest earthquakes in California and Baja California in historic times. Although surface rupture was not documented at the time of the earthquake, recent geologic investigations have identified and mapped a rupture on the Laguna Salada fault that can be associated with high

Scientific overview and historical context of the 1811-1812 new Madrid earthquake sequence Scientific overview and historical context of the 1811-1812 new Madrid earthquake sequence
The central and eastern United States has experienced only 5 historic earthquakes with Mw 7.0, four during the New Madrid sequence of 1811-1812: three principal mainshocks and the so-called «dawn aftershock» following the first mainshock. Much of the historic earthquake research done in the United States has focused on the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), because the largest New Madrid...

Remotely triggered seismicity on the United States west coast following the Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake Remotely triggered seismicity on the United States west coast following the Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake
The Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake in central Alaska of 3 November 2002 triggered earthquakes across western North America at epicentral distances of up to at least 3660 km. We describe the spatial and temporal development of triggered activity in California and the Pacific Northwest, focusing on Mount Rainier, the Geysers geothermal field, the Long Valley caldera, and the Coso...

Estimation of ground motion for Bhuj (26 January 2001; Mw 7.6) and for future earthquakes in India Estimation of ground motion for Bhuj (26 January 2001; Mw 7.6) and for future earthquakes in India
Only five moderate and large earthquakes (Mw ≥5.7) in India—three in the Indian shield region and two in the Himalayan arc region—have given rise to multiple strong ground-motion recordings. Near-source data are available for only two of these events. The Bhuj earthquake (Mw 7.6), which occurred in the shield region, gave rise to useful recordings at distances exceeding 550 km. Because...

Intraplate triggered earthquakes: Observations and interpretation Intraplate triggered earthquakes: Observations and interpretation
We present evidence that at least two of the three 1811-1812 New Madrid, central United States, mainshocks and the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake triggered earthquakes at regional distances. In addition to previously published evidence for triggered earthquakes in the northern Kentucky/southern Ohio region in 1812, we present evidence suggesting that triggered events might...

A media-based assessment of damage and ground motions from the January 26th, 2001 M 7.6 Bhuj, India earthquake A media-based assessment of damage and ground motions from the January 26th, 2001 M 7.6 Bhuj, India earthquake
We compiled available news and internet accounts of damage and other effects from the 26th January, 2001, Bhuj earthquake, and interpreted them to obtain modified Mercalli intensities at over 200 locations throughout the Indian subcontinent. These values are used to map the intensity distribution using a simple mathematical interpolation method. The maps reveal several interesting...
