  1. 1. Bias-adjusted analysis of global natural disaster records and an assessment of seismic hazard in Sweden

    Författare :Niranjan Joshi; Roland Roberts; Ari Tryggvason; Björn Lund; Kuvvet Atakan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Power-law; Natural-disasters; Seismic-hazard assessment.;

    Sammanfattning : Natural disasters pose significant challenges today and demand efficient allocation of society’s limited resources for disaster risk reduction. This relies on analysis of natural disaster records, which are prone to (reporting) biases that can affect the inferences drawn from their analysis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Towards reliable seismic hazard assessment in underground mines

    Författare :Wille Törnman; Savka Dineva; Jesper Martinsson; Adam Jonsson; Björn Lund; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Seismic hazard is used for national, regional, and local level to ensure safe constructions in specific areas. In the mining industry this information is valuable e.g. to  design infrastructure or rock support, to reduce the risk of rock burst and to minimise the risk of locating personnel in hazardous areas.

  4. 3. Seismicity Analyses Using Dense Network Data : Catalogue Statistics and Possible Foreshocks Investigated Using Empirical and Synthetic Data

    Författare :Angeliki Adamaki; Roland Roberts; Beata Orlecka-Sikora; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistical Seismology; Earthquake Catalogue Statistics; Seismicity Patterns; Precursors; Foreshocks; Στατιστική Σεισμολογία; Κατάλογοι Σεισμών; Μοτίβα Σεισμικότητας; Πρόδρομα Φαινόμενα; Προσεισμοί; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Sammanfattning : Precursors related to seismicity patterns are probably the most promising phenomena for short-term earthquake forecasting, although it remains unclear if such forecasting is possible. Foreshock activity has often been recorded but its possible use as indicator of coming larger events is still debated due to the limited number of unambiguously observed foreshocks. LÄS MER
