Reconstructing the damage field of the 1855 earthquake in Switzerland: historical investigations on a well-documented event

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstructed the damage field of the 1855 Visp earthquake and identified several secondary effects such as rock fall, landslides and changes in the subsurface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Earthquakes in Switzerland and surrounding regions during 2006

TL;DR: The report of the Swiss Seismological Service summarizes the seismic activity in Switzerland and surrounding regions during 2006 as mentioned in this paper, concluding that 572 earthquakes and 91 quarry blasts were detected and located in the region under consideration.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the relation between trench migration, seafloor age, and the strength of the subducting lithosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an effective lithosphere/mantle viscosity of approximately 200 during bending of the lithosphere into the subduction zone, and showed that energy dissipation caused by bending and unbending of the slab, although less important than other resisting forces, could be a primary control on trench migration.
