Application-driven ground motion prediction equation for seismic hazard assessments in non-cratonic moderate-seismicity areas
We present a ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) for probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHA) in low-to-moderate seismicity areas, such as Germany. Starting from the NGA-West2 flat-file (Ancheta et...

Locations and magnitudes of earthquakes in Central Asia from seismic intensity data
We apply the Bakun and Wentworth (Bull Seism Soc Am 87:1502–1521, 1997) method to determine the location and magnitude of earthquakes occurred in Central Asia using MSK-64 intensity assignments. The attenuation m...
