However, surface deformation caused by small- to moderate-sized earthquakes is rarely revealed by InSAR because their coseismic slip occurs mostly at significant depths (&gt; 5 km), with limited deformation on the Earth’s surface. In this work, we investigate the surface deformation associated with the Mw 5.4 May 28, 2016, Mihoub (Algeria) earthquake and its source parameters. Interferograms calculated from Sentinel-1 TOPSAR images of both ascending and descending orbits show that, despite its small size, the earthquake produced evident deformation on the Earth’s surface, suggesting that the coseismic slip took place at a relatively shallow depth. We model the coseismic displacement fields extracted from InSAR time series using Bayesian approaches in two stages: 1) we model the coseismic slip data using uniform slip on a single fault to constrain the fault parameters. 2) We explore a variable slip model with varying rakes on the discretized fault obtained in the first stage. The modelling results indicate that the earthquake was associated with a ~ 0.5 m shallow oblique reverse slip, mostly between depths of 1.5 and 4.5 km, on a NE–SW-trending and SE-dipping thrust fault, which is in good agreement with the focal mechanism solutions of the earthquake deduced from seismology. This study demonstrates that the multitemporal InSAR (MTI) method may constrain surface displacements when the coseismic interferograms of moderate- to small-sized earthquakes are noisy and hence difficult to unwrap. The newly identified seismogenic Mihoub fault has implications for seismic hazard assessment in northern Algeria.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reliable prediction of PGV is of essential importance in precise calculations of seismic hazard. The efficiencies, reliabilities, and capabilities of various machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Linear Regression, Artificial Neural Network, Gradient Boosting, and Bayesian Ridge Regression, are evaluated and compared. The most recently compiled Turkish strong motion database, which consists of over 950 earthquakes occurring from 1983 to 2023, is used for shaping the models' ability to learn and make accurate predictions. Three feature selection methods- Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator, Recursive Feature Elimination, and Pearson’s Correlation- representing embedded, wrapper, and filter approaches, respectively, are applied to determine the most suitable estimator parameters to predict PGV. Residual analyses and statistical evaluation metrics are employed to measure the performance and effectiveness of the machine learning models. Among the algorithms applied, Gradient Boosting demonstrates exceptional success in predicting PGV, particularly when utilizing all estimator parameters (features) collectively. The Gradient Boosting model exhibits superior predictive capabilities compared to existing ground motion models.

Dealing with this requires a thorough understanding of the underlying physics and consideration of inter-site variability. The most common ground motion model used in practice is the parametric ground motion prediction equation (GMPE), of which hundreds exist in the literature. However, relatively few are developed with a focus on induced seismicity. Developing GMPEs that are specific to an appropriate magnitude-distance range (<span>(R &lt; 30)</span> km; <span>(2 le M le 6)</span>) is important for induced seismicity applications. This paper proposes a framework for the development of physically-based GMPEs to provide more accurate and reliable estimates of the potential induced-seismicity ground motion hazard, allowing for better risk assessment and management strategies. To demonstrate this approach, a new set of GMPEs for the 2018-2019 induced seismicity sequence at the Preston New Road (PNR) shale gas site near Blackpool, United Kingdom, is presented. The physically-based GMPE was developed based on a pseudo-finite-fault stochastic ground motion simulation, calibrated with parameters derived from the spectral analysis of weak-motion records from induced seismic events. An optimization-based calibration technique using the area metric (AM) was subsequently performed to calibrate optimal parameters for simulating ground motion at the PNR site. Finally, using a suite of forward simulations for events with <span>(1 le M le 6)</span> recorded at distances up to 30 km, combined with empirical data, a location-specific GMPE was derived through adjustment of an existing model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10950-024-10235-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141946677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This event marked the first recorded earthquake in this area. We employed the polarity of P and S wave first motions, as well as SH and SV amplitudes and their respective ratios (SH/P and SV/SH), to constrain the focal mechanism solution. Furthermore, considering Brune's circular source model, kinematic source parameters were estimated through spectral analysis of available and reliable seismic data. The obtained solution reveals an oblique-slip fault mechanism, characterized by strike, dip, and rake angles of 341º, 69º, and -47º, respectively. Additionally, the two fault planes exhibit trends aligned with the E-W and NNW directions. This normal fault mechanism with a strike component aligns with previously identified events in various active areas of Egypt, indicating a dominant extensional stress regime. The trend/plunge of the P and T axes are determined to be 299º/46º and 42º/13º, respectively. Moreover, the NE trending of the T axis agrees well with the current extension stress field prevalent along the eastern border of Egypt. The average seismic moment and moment magnitude values for P and SH waves are estimated to be 1.86 × 10<sup>14</sup> Nm, and 3.5, respectively. Furthermore, the average source values of radius and stress drop are calculated to be 304 m, and 29 bar, respectively. Through a comparative and comprehensive analysis of fault mechanism solutions in the Nile Delta region and its surroundings, we have concluded that the fault structures in the Hinge Zone and Cairo-Suez Shear Zone exhibit similarities. This finding provides evidence that the geodynamic processes and fault style are identical. In conclusion, the provided information contributes to our understanding of the seismotectonic characteristics and earthquake hazard in the epicentral region. Moreover, this study serves as a motivation for future site response and seismic hazard analyses based on a scenario-based approach.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141969708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
