This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new set of focal mechanisms is determined for the eastern Tennessee seismic zone (ETSZ). The 26 solutions are consistent with previous solutions in the northern and middle portions of the ETSZ and extend coverage into the southern portion. The solutions exhibit strike-slip and oblique normal faulting, with nodal planes generally oriented N-S/E-W and NE-SW/NW-SE. Strike-slip solutions dominate the middle and northern portions of the zone. To the south, near the Tennessee/Georgia border, a group of focal mechanisms for relatively shallow events exhibit normal faulting. To examine a possible cause of the normal faulting, a geodynamic model is developed which simulates a delamination of the lower crust. Evidence for delamination has been seen elsewhere in the southern Appalachians. Results from this model suggest that delamination is a possible cause of localized, shallow normal faulting.

Book excerpt: “This report presents documentation for the development of seismicity parameters to be used as input for probabilistic seismic hazard analyses at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The hazard analysis is to be conducted by personnel at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the author was one of several parameters of seismic zonation, maximum magnitude estimates.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book first focuses on the explanation of the theory about focal mechanisms and moment tensor solutions and their role in the modern seismology. The second part of the book compiles several state-of-the-art case studies in different seismotectonic settings of the planet.The assessment of seismic hazard and the reduction of losses due to future earthquakes is probably the most important contribution of seismology to society. In this regard, the understanding of reliable determination seismic source and of its uncertainty can play a key role in contributing to geodynamic investigation, seismic hazard assessment and earthquake studies. In the last two decades, the use of waveforms recorded at local-to-regional distances has increased considerably. Waveform modeling has been used also to estimate faulting parameters of small-to-moderate sized earthquakes.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop crust and mantle models of the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone (ETSZ) using imaging and inversion of the radial component P-wave transfer functions for stations in the Center for Earthquake Research and Information's (CERI) eastern Tennessee seismic network. We find complex structure in the upper 10 km in addition to an upper mantle high velocity zone with Vp values from 8̃.2-8.56 km/s. This high velocity zone most likely extends from the west into the ETSZ and may be preserved mantle structure from the Granite Rhyolite province. Moho in the area is mostly gradational. However, velocity discontinuities can be seen at places indicating a fairly stable Moho depth of 4̃5-50 km. We suggest that the NY-AL lineament represents a major deep crustal to upper mantle feature.
