Aster, Professor of Geophysics at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, who has been involved in volcanological studies at the Mount Erebus volcano observatory on Ross Island, with ice, ocean, and tectonic seismic source research, and with seismological, tectonic, and structural studies of Antarctica.
He has directed high-profile projects, including the repair and restoration of the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, seismic upgrading and renovation to the Beaux-Arts style Pasadena City Hall, and the restoration work at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego.
The acquisition programme, which was launched by the Honourable President of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa, fulfilled the commitment of 1450 km2 of 3D seismic data acquisition.
The Austin Chronicle wrote about Capsula live show at APF: "Capsula’s dark wave rock – surfing basslines, needling leads, and kit-crashing propulsion – pushes the motoring thrust of early Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with its own distinct pulse. These aren’t musicians playing at a band, they’re a fabulous gilded snake, writhing on a big stage while plying seismic garage rock."
Thereafter, discovery of the Shoreline fault caused a round of controversy leading Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee to introduce legislation mandating 3-D seismic studies.
The earthquake bomb, or seismic bomb, was a concept that was invented by the British aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis early in World War II and subsequently developed and used during the war against strategic targets in Europe.
In October 2004 Architectural Resources Group (ARG) was contracted by Nabih Youssef & Associates, Structural Engineers, to provide services regarding a historic resource assessment of the building due to a proposed seismic retrofit.
Exploration geophysics is the practical application of physical methods (such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic) to measure the physical properties of rocks, and in particular, to detect the measurable physical differences between rocks that contain ore deposits or hydrocarbons and those without.
An increase in seismic activity in an area has been used as a method of predicting earthquakes, most notably in the case of the 1975 Haicheng earthquake in China, where an evacuation was triggered by an increase in activity.
The GTG was founded by Albert Tarantola, who authored an influential paper on the inversion of seismic reflection data.
As the location of the bridge is in the Seismic Zone I, seismic load has not been accounted for in the design.
On 24 October 2011 a research group under professor Mitsuhisa Watanabe of the University of Toyo published a report that raised questions about the seismic safety of the plant-site.
Ilesfay's product offerings apply to a host of industries including the following: global collaboration, engineering and design, PLM suppliers, integrators and resellers, cloud providers, SaaS providers, content management systems, big data, graphics & imaging, data centers, managed services providers, retail data, and oilfield & seismic data.
In collaboration with Adam Dziewonski, he applied these ideas first to seismic records from the 1964 Alaska earthquake and then to records from the 1970 Colombia earthquake.
Formed by the RTI activist Akhil Gogoi in 2005, the organisation works on a diverse range of issues from Public Distribution System (PDF) thefts, non-implementation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGA), land rights, governmental and corporate corruption, Right to Information Act (RTI) and construction of big dams in fragile seismic territories of north east India.
The, on 1 January 1980, a series of seismic events, in the order of 7 on the Richter magnitude scale caused destruction to homes on Terceira, Graciosa, Faial and São Jorge islands.
Due to the tombs' deteriorated condition, a result of seismic activity, exposure to the harsh tropical environment, and damage by tourists, Los Pinchudos was listed in the 2000 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund.
Structural steel design is based on the American Institute of Steel Construction’s Specification for Structural Steel Buildings Standard AISC 360-05 and the Seismic Provisions for Steel Buildings Standard AISC 341-05.
The ship was chartered to Geophysical Service Inc., a seismic exploration company, which was owned by Texas Instruments at the time she sank.
New Madrid Seismic Zone, a major seismic zone in Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas
The Pedro Miguel Fault is a seismic fault that runs beneath the Panama Canal and near Panama City, home to approximately 1.2 million of Panama's approximately 3.3 million inhabitants.
Seismic microzonation is defined as the process of subdividing a potential seismic or earthquake prone area into zones with respect to some geological and geophysical characteristics of the sites such as ground shaking, liquefaction susceptibility, landslide and rock fall hazard, earthquake-related flooding, so that seismic hazards at different locations within the area can correctly be identified.
Shadow zone, an area in which a secondary seismic wave is not detected due to it not being able to pass through the core of the earth
Hess observed, from previous seismic velocity experiments with olivine crystals, that if the crystals had even a slight statistical orientation this would be extremely evident in the seismic velocities recorded using seismic refraction.
Doubts have been raised over the adequacy of the seismic evaluation and design of the Fessenheim Nuclear Power Plant, built in the Rhine Plain close to the faults.
For example the station IOA, located near Ioannina, detects seismic electric signals which correspond to tectonic activity in Western Peloponnese and the Ionian Sea, while it does not detect signals related to tectonic activity around Ioannina.
