Mr arnaud montabert (Laboratoire de Géologie, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 3 PostersPoster PreferenceArchaeoseismology investigates the characteristics of past earthquakes on the basis of the observed and recorded damages on historical buildings or archaeological remains. To better achieve this scope, an important step might be the setup of the numerical modelling of past structures. Indeed, the seismic response of a building is intrinsically related to its geometry and mechanical...Go to contribution page

Mr Miklos Kazmer (Eotvos University)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 3 PostersPoster PreferenceLeydecker's (2011) catalogue lists merely two historical earthquakes between 800 AD and 1499 AD in the northern part of the Rheingraben. Archaeoseismological evidence is provided for several damaging earthquakes during Roman times and the Middle Ages. The Roman villa at Ahrweiler was buried by mudflow. Before 400 AD an earthquake caused liquefaction, which yielded subsidence of floors and...Go to contribution page

Katrina Kremer (Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zürich, Sonneggstrasse 5, 8092 Zurich)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 2 PostersPoster PreferenceMarine tsunamis have been increasingly discussed in the context of ocean-wide natural hazards since the 2004 Sumatra and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake tsunamis. While ocean tsunamis are usually caused by earthquake-related plate displacements, tsunamis in lakes can have a seismic or aseismic cause. The wave-causing mechanisms are usually related to mass-movement processes that displace large...Go to contribution page

Dr Koen Van Noten (Royal Observatory of Belgium)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 1 PostersPoster PreferenceThe practice of macroseismic investigation through internet inquiries is well established among numerous seismological institutions around the world, thanks to wide citizen participation. Although internet macroseismic data analysis has reached high levels in Europe, intensity methods adopted by each one of the national research institutes are still quite different and usually tailored to the...Go to contribution page

Dr Jacek Szczygieł (Department of Fundamental Geology, Faculty of Earth Sciences, University of Silesia), Wojciech Wroblewski (Institute of Geological Sciences, Jagiellonian University)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 4 PostersPoster PreferenceSeismic activity has been instrumentally recorded in the Central Western Carpathians, both in Slovakia and Poland. Many earthquakes were registered in ancient written sources, such as chronicles. Compilation of instrumental data and historical sources shows that epicenters of earthquakes are clustered in zones, which is an expression of the regional faults pattern. Several seismically active...Go to contribution page

A thermokarst origin of the lakes is sup- ported by abundant traces of ground ice, particularly ice wedge pseudomorphs beneath the lacustrine layers and synsedimentary deformation caused by thaw settlement....Go to contribution page

Mr Stéphane BAIZE (Institut de Radioprotection et Sûreté Nucléaire)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 2 PostersPoster PreferenceThe Asian plate interiors are known to have host strong earthquakes with magnitudes up to M≈8 in recent history, especially around the border area between Mongolia, Kazakhstan, China and Russia (e.g., M7.3 Chuya earthquake, 2003). Their recurrence times seem to be long, because of the relative low slip rates (less than 1 mm/y) of the faults which caused them. In this study, we focus on a...Go to contribution page

Dr Petra Štěpančíková (Czech Academy of Sciences)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 2 PostersPoster PreferenceWe analysed morphologically pronounced, NNW-SSE trending Mariánské Lázně Fault (MLF) situated in the western part of the Bohemian Massif (Czech Republic, central Europe). The MLF controls the eastern limit of Cheb-Domažlice Graben. In the northern part it borders the Cenozoic Cheb basin towards mountain front of Krušné hory Mts and intersects with NE-trending Cenozoic Eger rift. The Cheb basin...Go to contribution page

Dr Kris Vanneste (Royal Observatory of Belgium)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 2 PostersPoster PreferenceContemporaneous mass transport deposits (MTDs) recorded in high-resolution sediment archives provide evidence of past seismic shaking. However, because they usually cannot be linked directly to a fault rupture, assessment of the earthquake source (location and magnitude or specific fault) based on this type of indirect paleoseismological evidence remains difficult. Based on observations of...Go to contribution page

However, this great advance in Mesoamerica, the geological scenario makes the Oaxaca state is vulnerable with seismic activity, as the recent earthquakes of 2017 (Mw8.2) and 2018 (Mw7.2) showed.

Mrs Anne-Sophie Mreyen (University of Liege)24/10/2018, 13:45Session 2 PostersPoster PreferenceThe historic 1692 Verviers Earthquake (Ms 6-6.3) represents one of the most significant events in NW Europe, with its supposed epicentral area being located along the Hockai Fault Zone (HFZ) in East Belgium. This, and other seismic events in the past, characterises the 42 km long HFZ as a seismically active zone of multiple fault segments, which also crosses the entire Stavelot Massif. In this...Go to contribution page
