The 1991 Racha earthquake, Caucasus: Multiple source model with compensative type of motion
The source of the 1991 Racha earthquake in the Greater Caucasus generally corresponds to thrusting, which is characteristic of the predominant regional compression stress field. A more adequate view of the rup...

Media velocity model and macroseismic effect: The Spitak earthquake of December 7, 1988
Relationship between the intensity of seismic shaking on the surface and the velocity structure of the medium at large depth is studied. The Spitak earthquake of December 7, 1988 is chosen as an object of stud...

Source model and the macroseismic effect of the 1991 Racha earthquake
Coherency of the source model of the 1991 Racha earthquake in the Greater Caucasus with different data types is analyzed. Authors, when interpreting macroseismic data, accept complex nature of macroseismic eff...

Aftershock sequences of the strongest earthquakes of the world: Stages of development
Analysis of aftershock sequences of the strongest earthquakes of the world showed that previously discovered empirical relations are not universal. Båth’s law is found to be invalid in the majority of cases, w...

On the possibility of detecting complex sources of earthquakes from data of the centroid moment tensor catalog
In their analysis of the crustal stress-strain state and the study of strong earthquake sources, a number of authors use the parameter ɛ measuring the deviation of the focal mechanism from the double-couple mo...

The source and aftershocks of the Altai (Chuya) earthquake of 2003
Results derived from processing of data of field observations in the epicentral zone of the Altai earthquake of 2003 are presented. Accurate location of aftershocks showed that their spatial distribution is in...

On a homogeneous representation of seismic history in large regions
The possibility to obtain a more complete and unbiased long-term history of seismic shakings over large territories than is explicitly reported from inhabited localities is discussed in the paper. An approach ...
