Probabilistic seismic source location and magnitude via inverse analysis of paleoliquefaction evidence

Ryan A. Rasanen et al.

Summary: In regions with infrequent moderate-to-large earthquakes, historical earthquake catalogs may not be sufficient for seismic-hazard analyses. This article proposes a new framework to probabilistically determine seismic-source parameters from paleoliquefaction evidence. The framework has the potential to provide valuable insights in enigmatic seismic zones globally.

Probabilistic seismic source inversion from regional landslide evidence

Ryan A. Rasanen et al.

Summary: In regions with infrequent but potentially damaging seismicity, using paleoseismic evidence can help reduce uncertainty in seismic hazard. However, existing inverse-analysis techniques have limitations in determining earthquake parameters. Therefore, a new flexible inversion framework is proposed in this paper to probabilistically constrain seismic source parameters from regional paleolandslide evidence.

Influence of source-to-site distance and diagenesis on liquefaction triggering of 200,000-year-old beach sand

Barnabas Bwambale et al.

Summary: This paper characterizes the liquefaction triggering of the outcropping 200,000-year-old Ten Mile Hill beds sand facies (Qts) near Charleston, South Carolina. The liquefaction susceptibility of Qts is evaluated assuming a uniform seismic load, and seismic cone penetration testing is used to measure small-strain shear wave velocity. The results show a slight decrease in liquefaction susceptibility of Qts moving away from the likely source of the 1886 Charleston earthquake. The paper also describes the liquefaction potential of Qts during the Charleston earthquake and other earthquake loadings, providing a method for mapping liquefaction potential in Qts using liquefaction probability curves.

Geologic impacts and calculated magnitudes of historic earthquakes in the central United States

Jaewon Chung et al.

Summary: The New Madrid Seismic Zone in the central United States has experienced multiple strong earthquakes in the 19th century, with potential recurrence posing a significant threat to the region. Through geological analysis and seismic data, this study estimated the magnitude of past earthquakes and highlighted the potential liquefaction impact on unconsolidated sediments throughout the central U.S.

Using paleo-liquefaction features to determine the likely source, magnitude and ground accelerations of pre-historic earthquakes in the Kashmir Basin (Northwestern Himalaya), India

Maqbool Yousuf et al.

Summary: The lack of surface fault scarps or other obvious surficial geomorphic features recording pre-historic earthquakes in the Kashmir Basin led to the identification of liquefaction features exposed in various cuts and trenches to determine the likely causative earthquakes, source area, inferred paleo-magnitude, and relative ground accelerations. It was found that liquefaction-producing earthquakes in the KB ranged between 6.4 and 7.3 Mw with peak ground accelerations of approximately 0.29-0.64 g. The techniques and data obtained from this study may be useful not only for local land use planning and hazard reduction, but also applicable to similar tectonically active regions.

Compilation and forecasting of paleoliquefaction evidence for the strength of ground motions in the US Pacific Northwest

Ryan A. Rasanen et al.

Summary: The study aims to use paleoliquefaction to understand previous ground motions in the PNW, including CSZ events, and to constrain locations, magnitudes, and recurrence rates of such ruptures. By compiling paleoliquefaction evidence and developing maps for simulations, the research provides useful information for guiding field explorations efficiently and strategically, and for improving regional ground-motion hazard modeling.
