Publisher Summary Paleoseismic data can be used in the research of neotectonic
investigations and can provide relatively short-term geologic data that complements longer …

Since the publication of Paleoseismology (2nd Edition) in 2009, there has been no
comprehensive survey of new trends in Quaternary tectonics. This paper seeks to remedy …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

Determining the likelihood of a disaster is a key component of any comprehensive hazard
assessment. This is particularly true for tsunamis, even though most tsunami hazard …

Ground shaking is widely considered to be the primary cause of damage to structures, loss
of life and injuries due to earthquakes. Nonetheless, there are numerous examples of …

One of the goals of the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program …

Surface rupturing data from the historical earthquakes is used for obtaining empirical
regression parameters for fault displacement hazard assessment. This paper represents an …

In this paper we present a methodology, data, and regression equations for calculating the
fault rupture hazard at sites near steeply dip**, strike-slip faults. We collected and digitized …

We present the compilation of a new database of active faults in Slovenia, aiming at
introducing geological data for the first time as input for a new national seismic hazard …

New predictive models for fault displacement and surface rupture hazard analysis
developed through the Fault Displacement Hazard Initiative (FDHI) research program …
