ABSTRACT An earthquake of moderate magnitude 5.9 occurred northeast Harnai (Baluchistan), Pakistan, on 07 October 2021. This event caused several deaths and injuries due to the collapse many mud houses in epicentral area according Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA). The along Quetta syntaxis, which is one most seismically active zones country. source mechanism mainshock based moment tensor inversion technique was determined using seismic data from local network. Stress patterns...
Abstract The Mw 7.6 Muzaffarabad earthquake of 8 October 2005, occurred on a lateral equivalent the main ramp Hymalaia frontal thrust, and is result collision tectonics between Indian Eurasian plates. epicentre was located near town Basantkot (Muzaffarabad), focal depth about 13 km. provides unequivocal evidence localization severe damage, intense ground shaking secondary environmental effects surface expression source fault. We analyse its nature, impact man-made structures physical...
Ground deformation associated with natural and anthropogenic activities can be damaging for infrastructure cause enormous economic loss, particularly in developing countries which lack measuring instruments. Remote sensing techniques like interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) thus play an important role investigating mitigating geohazards. Rawalpindi Islamabad are twin cities Pakistan a population of approximately 5.4 million, along government private entities national...
Abstract On 24 September 2019, an Mw 5.9 earthquake struck near the Mangla reservoir in northeastern Pakistan and resulted 39 fatalities 746 serious injuries, making it deadliest region since 2005 7.6 Kashmir earthquake. Here, we integrate geodetic, seismic, field observations to characterize source properties impact of Mirpur as well investigate whether might be a reservoir-induced event. From inverting Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar data, find that fault with strike ∼310°, dip...
Abstract Deep‐water clastic settings frame major stratigraphic plays the world over. The advanced seismic interpretation tools provide prediction of accurate physical characteristics undiscovered reservoirs, including their lithology, thickness, and porosity. designed amplitude spectrum (DAS)‐based processing tool on Full may yield a remarkable stratigraphy. This study deals with thick porous (possibly gas‐rich) litho‐facies using DAS high‐resolution seismal profiles within offshore Indus...
<title>Abstract</title> Knowledge of the earthquakes along active tectonic structure is fundamental to comprehend mechanics continental plates margins and approximate earthquake potential in settings area interest. On 22<sup>nd</sup> January, 2024, an with magnitude M<sub>w</sub> 7 struck located 136 km west Aksu, China. Tectonically, it occurred northwestern vicinity South Tianshan Thrust Fault (STTF) at event location south end Trim basin exits. This has added opportunity understand...
The seismic hazard analysis for Quetta and surrounding area was carried out by using the probabilistic approach. considers seismicity occurring in study area, tectonics expected ground motion terms of peak acceleration (PGA). is seismically very active due to this disturbance cities Kalat were completely destroyed during 1935 earthquake. To mitigate consequences future possible earthquakes, out. On basis seismotectonics geological features, seven sources are recognized region significant...
Abstract On May 06, 2022 an earthquake of M 5.4 occurred in NW Khuzdar (Baluchistan), Pakistan. This event caused damages to infrastructure and collapsed several mud houses, according local news agencies. the same day, a similar size ( 5.4) which is 230km away from Dalbandin, Baluchistan. Both these earthquakes were independent have not appeared be related with each other. The 2013 Awaran magnitude 7.7 has been largest within this region, located 70 km recent event. seismicity area might...
This is an innovative study that deals with the application of continuous wavelet transform (CWT)-based seismic spectrum decomposition (SD) and static wedge modelling (SWM) to characterize fluvial system Indus Basin, Pakistan. The CWT better discriminates thin thick-bedded hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir pore-fluids compared band-limited characteristics. point bar shows higher amplitudes water-filled channel, which indicates lower A amalgamation attributes within sandstone reservoirs 28 Hz can...
