  2. 1. Geological development of the East African coastal basin of Tanzania

    Author : Samson Mpanda; Ole Veibaeck; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marine Geology; seismic methods; seismic stratigraphy; multichannel seismic recordings; tectonic development; Karoo; Mesozoic; Tertiary; East Africa; Tanzania; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; allmän och historisk geologi; General and Historical Geology;

    Abstract : The East African coastal basin of Tanzania, which is characterised by an extensional tectonic style, is located along the passive continental margin of the western Indian Ocean. The present study is concerned with the Mafia Island and the Mafia Channel which together form a subbasin within the north-south elongated coastal sedimentary basin of Tanzania. READ MORE

  4. 2. Earthquake Sources, the Stress Field and Seismic Hazard : A Study in Eritrea and its Surrounding

    Author : Lijam Zemichael Hagos; Roland Roberts; Hossein Shomali; Kuvvet Atakan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Seismic hazard; Focal mechanism; Moment tensor inversion; Stress field; Afar depression; Eritrea; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : Presented in this thesis are some basic concepts and applications of seismic hazard analysis and the elements that influence the amplitude and geometric attenuation of earthquake ground motion. This thesis centers on the identification of the styles of failure, focal mechanisms, and the state of regional stress in the study area. READ MORE

    Abstract : This dissertation is a comprehensive summary of four papers on the development and application of new strategies for locating tremor and relocating events in earthquake catalogs.In the first paper, two new strategies for relocating events in a catalog are introduced. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards reliable seismic hazard assessment in underground mines

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

    Abstract : 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.
