We study the Byzantine-to-Ummayad (6th–8th century) archaeological site of Umm-El-Qanatir, located 10 km east of the Dead Sea Transform (DST) in northern Israel. The site was damaged by an earthquake-induced landslide, and in this work we use slope stability analysis to constrain the...

Mumbai city, the economical capital of India, is located on the west coast of stable intra-plate continental region of Peninsular India which has an experience of significant historical earthquakes in the past. The city stood as the fourth most populous city in the world. Recent seismo-tectonic...

The seismic hazard in the Gujarat region has been evaluated. The scenario hazard maps showing the spatial distribution of various parameters like peak ground acceleration, characteristics site frequency and spectral acceleration for different periods have been presented. These parameters have...

Uttarakhand Himalaya in India lies in the central seismic gap region identified by Khattri and Tyagi (Tectonophysics 96:281–297, <CitationRef CitationID="CR36">1983</CitationRef>). Most of the area in Uttarakhand state has been placed under zone V (the highest seismic zone) and zone IV (second highest seismic zone) of the seismic hazard...</citationref>
