We present a methodology for conducting site-specific probabilistic analysis of fault displacement hazard. Two approaches are outlined. The first relates the occurrence at or near ground surface to earthquakes in same manner as is done standard seismic hazard (PSHA) shaking. this approach taken directly from PSHA with ground-motion attenuation function replaced by function. In second approach, rate events and distribution derived characteristics faults geologic features site interest....

Abstract After approximately 2 months of swarm‐like earthquakes in the Mogul neighborhood west Reno, NV, seismicity rates and event magnitudes increased over several days culminating an M w 4.9 dextral strike‐slip earthquake on 26 April 2008. Although very shallow, main shock had a different sense slip than locally mapped dip‐slip surface faults. We relocate 7549 earthquakes, calculate 1082 focal mechanisms, statistically cluster relocated catalog to understand character interaction active...

Abstract We estimate stress drops for 148 shallow (<6 km) earthquakes in the complex 2008 Mogul, Nevada, swarm using empirical Green's function‐derived spectral ratios. Near‐source, temporary broadband seismometers deployed before M w 4.9 main shock provide high‐quality records of many foreshocks and aftershocks, an ideal opportunity to investigate uncertainties corner frequency measurement as well drop (Δ σ ) variation related space, time, depth, mechanism, magnitude. explore source...

Abstract Analysis of a small earthquake swarm near Virginia City, NV, reveals complex structural features, including an interplay both fluid‐driven and aseismic‐driven migration within naturally occurring tectonic sequence. The City sequence occurred over ~10 days in January 2014. We relocate 305 events to reveal three separate, well‐defined planar structures. earthquakes initially migrate at rate consistent with pore fluid diffusion, outlining moderately dipping plane. then jump vertical...

Background The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of systemic inflammation associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, limited evidence exists regarding its prognostic role in patients diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which we sought to explore this analysis. Methods We retrospectively evaluated all PCI at large tertiary centre between 2012 and 2022. Patients were stratified according the presence DM, NLR quartiles...

Abstract The ML 6.4 Chalfant, California, earthquake of 21 July 1986 was preceded by an extensive foreshock sequence. Foreshock activity is characterized shallow clustering activity, including 7 events greater than 3, beginning 18 days before the earthquake, 5.7 24 hr main shock that ruptured only in upper 10 km crust, and “off-fault” cluster perpendicular to slip surface associated with hypocenter shock. Chalfant sequence occurred within local short-period network, spatial temporal...

ABSTRACT Explosions are traditionally discriminated from earthquakes, using the relative amplitude of compressional and shear waves at regional teleseismic distances known as P/S discriminant. Pyle Walter (2019) showed this technique to be less robust shorter distances, in detecting small-magnitude earthquakes low-yield explosions. The disparity is largely due ground motion small, shallow sources being significantly impacted by near-surface structural complexities. To understand implications...
