Central Switzerland lies tectonically in an intraplate area and recurrence rates of strong
earthquakes exceed the time span covered by historic chronicles. However, many lakes are …

Over recent decades, the use of geothermal energy for heating supply and power
generation has increased significantly across the world, owing to its low carbon emissions …

We introduce a new method to determine the magnitude of completeness M c and its
uncertainty. Our method models the entire magnitude range (emr method) consisting of the …

The catalogue by Grünthal et al.(J Seismol 13: 517–541, 2009a) of earthquakes in central,
northern, and north-western Europe with M w≥ 3.5 (CENEC) has been expanded to cover …

Geothermal energy is becoming an important clean energy source, however, the stimulation
of a reservoir for an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) is associated with seismic risk due …

In den bis zu 15,000 Jahre alten Sedimenten von vier Seen in der Zentralschweiz wurden
Spuren von drei starken historischen und mindestens sieben prähistorischen Erdbeben …

In the last years, the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) has updated the Earthquake
Catalogue of Switzerland and prepared an electronic version for publication. The version …

New databases motivate improvements and extensions of the catalogue by Grünthal and
Wahlström (J Seismol 7: 507–531, 2003a)–G&W03–of earthquakes in central, northern, and …

Deformation structures in lake sediments in Central Switzerland can be attributed to strong
historic earthquakes. The type and spatial distribution of the deformation structures reflect …

Archaeoseismic research contributes important data on past earthquakes. A limitation of the
usefulness of archaeoseismology is due to the lack of continuous discussion about the …
