Seismic Zoning of Slovenia Based on Deterministic Hazard Computations
TLDR
In this paper, a deterministic approach based on the computation of complete synthetic seismograms is used to estimate the seismic hazard of the territory of Slovenia using the catalogues of earthquakes and fault plane solutions for Slovenia and surrounding regions.Abstract:
Seismic hazard of the territory of Slovenia is estimated using a deterministic approach based on the computation of complete synthetic seismograms. The input data are the catalogues of earthquakes and fault plane solutions for Slovenia and surrounding regions. Structural models are defined based on available seismological and geophysical information, but are mainly constrained by surface-wave dispersion and 3-D tomographic modelling of the upper crust. Seismogenic zones are delineated considering geotectonic characteristics, fault plane solutions and distribution of earthquake hypocentres. Outside Slovenia seismogenic zones are extended up to distances from which they can considerably influence seismic hazard estimates.read more

Seismic wave propagation in laterally heterogeneous anelastic media: Theory and applications to seismic zonation
TL;DR: In this article, a deterministic approach based on the assumption that several earthquakes can occur within a predefined seismic zone, represents a conservative definition of seismic hazard for preevent localized planning for disaster mitigation, over a broad range of periods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach to estimate the seismic hazard, aimed not only at the seismic classification of the national territory, but also at the capability of properly accounting for the local amplifications of ground shaking, as well as for the fault properties.

Free software helps map and display data
Paul Wessel,Walter H. F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is introduced, which is a free, public domain software package that can be used to manipulate columns of tabular data, time series, and gridded data sets and to display these data in a variety of forms ranging from simple x-y plots to maps and color, perspective, and shaded-relief illustrations.

Traveltimes for global earthquake location and phase identification
Brian Kennett,E. R. Engdahl +1 more
TL;DR: The Iasp91 traveltime tables as mentioned in this paper are derived from a radially stratified velocity model which has been constructed so that the times for the major seismic phases are consistent with the reported times for events in the catalogue of the International Seismological Centre (ISC) for the period 1964-1987.

Mapping Seismic Hazard in the Central and Eastern United States
TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been publishing probabilistic seismic hazard maps for the United States since 1976 (e.g., Algermissen and Perkins, 1976; Alger missen et al., 1990) as discussed by the authors.
