Sage Publications published the article “An inhomogeneous problem for an elastic half-strip: An exact solution” in the journal Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids (Web of Science Q2, Scopus Q2, Impact Factor JCR: 2.040). Among the authors are employees of the Institute of Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics of the Russian…
The paper addresses the problems associated with the maximum earthquakes in a seismically active region. Pisarenko and Rodkin (2009; 2010; 2015) proposed an alternative to the ambiguously determined parameter of the maximum regional magnitude Mmax in the form of a clearly defined and statistically substantiated parameter of the maximum possible magnitude…
Use of mathematical methods, sometimes even quite elementary, in other areas of knowledge often proves to be very efficient. As an example of such use, and, at the same time, an example of cooperation between IEPT RAS and OGRI RAS (Oil and Gas Research Institute RAS), we can point out the…
The goal of the study is to identify the possible locations of strong M6+ earthquakes in the Altai-Sayan-Baikal region.
New publication titled “Unified Scaling Law for Earthquakes: Space-Time Dependent Assessment in Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region” by Anastasia Nekrasova (IEPT RAS) and Antonella Peresan (National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS), Italy) in “Frontiers in Earth Science” (JRL Q2).
The scientists from the Netherlands, Russia, and Romania estimate earthquake source parameters in Vrancea seismic zone and surrounding regions between 2014 and 2020, and determine the stress field via focal mechanism inversion and unsupervised machine learning. The work was published in Tectonophysics (Q1, JIF=3.048).
Major earthquakes of M ≥7 are complex. Seismic energy accumulation, release, and redistribution in the lithosphere are not yet well studied. The geometry, timing, and slip distribution of the complex nonlinear system of the lithospheric blocks-and-faults involved is usually not well resolved.
