    Seismicity, fault rupture and earthquake hazards in slowly deforming regions (2017)
    London : The Geological Society
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Earthquake hazard analysis ; Earthquake hazard analysis ; Earthquakes ; Earthquakes ; Paleoseismology ; Paleoseismology ; Seismic event location ; Seismic event location ; Seismology ; Seismology ; Electronic books ; History ; Bibliografie ; Paläoseismologie ; Seismologie ; Erdbeben
    Description / Table of Contents: Palaeoseismic records and seismological data from continental interiors increasingly show that these areas of slow strain accumulation are more subject to seismic and associated natural hazards than previously thought. Moreover, some of our instincts developed for assessing hazards at plate boundaries might not apply here. Hence assessing hazards and drawing implications for the future is challenging, and how well it can be done heavily depends on the ability to assess the spatiotemporal distribution of past large earthquakes. This book explores some key issues in understanding hazards in slowly deforming areas. Examples include classic intraplate regions, such as Central and Northern Europe, Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, Australia, and North and South America, and regions of widely distributed strain, such as the Tien Shan Mountains in Central Asia. The papers in this volume are grouped into two sections. The first section deals with instrumental and historical earthquake data and associated hazard assessments. The second section covers methods from structural geology, palaeoseismology and tectonic geomorphology, and incorporates field evidence

    Study of the structure of the slab-mantle interface using reflected and converted seismic waves (1993)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Geophysical journal international 115 (1993), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-246X
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: Seismic waves reflected and converted at the interface between a downgoing slab and the mantle above it can provide important constraints on the velocity contrast at the interface and hence on the properties of the downgoing lithosphere. Modelling studies suggest that different physical mechanisms may contribute to the velocity contrast at different depths along the interface. To explore the possible mechanisms, we examine the amplitudes of seismic waves reflected and converted at the slab-mantle interface in Japanese subduction zones. Slab-face P-reflection amplitudes suggest a velocity contrast ranging upwards to ∼ 10 per cent at depths of between 300 and 400 km. P/S amplitude ratios from ScS-to-P conversions at the slab-mantle interface depend on the depth of conversion and are large, 0.14 and 0.12, at stations SHK and MAT.The size of the velocity contrasts and amplitude ratios suggests that a model of the interface more complicated than one involving merely temperature and/or compositional effects is required. We use these observations to constrain layered models of the slab-mantle interface using Thomson-Haskell matrix modelling, comparing observations with calculated amplitude ratios. The results suggest that the crustal layer of basaltic composition, persisting to depth during subduction, plays a role in the generation of the shallow converted waves. The deeper conversions appear to require layering as well, perhaps involving eclogite at the slab surface in addition to oriented olivine in the overlying mantle and the α-β (and α-γ) phase transformations in olivine within the slab.

    Notes: [Auszug] Variations in sea-floor depth and heat flow with age provide the main constraints on the thermal structure and evolution of the oceanic lithosphere. Joint fitting of heat flow and bathymetry yields a model with a hotter, thinner lithosphere than in previous models. The new model provides a ...
