The observed scaling properties in the three aftershock sequences of the recent strong earthquakes of magnitudes Mw 6.1, Mw 6.4 and Mw 6.7, which occurred in the Ionian island region on the 26 January 2014 (onshore Cephalonia Island), 17 November 2015 (Lefkada Island) and 25 October 2018 (offshore Zakynthos Island), respectively, are presented. In the analysis, the frequency–magnitude distrib…
The spatiotemporal distribution of major earthquakes in the study area (1600–2024) is analyzed to tentatively recognize the possible connections with the short-term (from decades to centuries) evolution of the ongoing tectonic processes. This study suggests that during the period considered, seismic activity has been predominantly related to the shortening processes accommodating the converge…
Earthquakes are classified as one of the most devastating natural disasters that can have catastrophic effects on the environment, lives, and properties. There has been an increasing interest in the prediction of earthquakes and in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that underlie their generation, yet earthquakes are the least predictable natural disaster. Satellite data, g…
The Hindu Kush-Pamir region (HKPR) is characterized by complex ongoing deformation, unique slab geometry, and intermediate seismic activity. The availability of extensive seismological data in recent decades has prompted the use of deep learning algorithms to extract valuable insights. In this study, we present a fully automated approach for augmenting earthquake catalogue within the HKPR. Our …
Among the biggest challenges we face in utilizing neural networks trained on waveform (i.e., seismic, electromagnetic, or ultrasound) data is its application to real data. The requirement for accurate labels often forces us to train our networks using synthetic data, where labels are readily available. However, synthetic data often fail to capture the reality of the field/real experiment, and w…
