Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…(U/Th)/He thermochronometry supports our interpretation that this south-under-north thickening of the crust has created the region's 3 km of topographic relief. We conclude that future large earthquakes generated along the San Andreas fault in this region will have a multiplicity of mostly specifiable sources having dimensions of 1–20 km. …”

An interdisciplinary perspective on social and physical determinants of seismic risk by Lin, K.-H. E., Chang, Y.-C., Liu, G.-Y., Lin, T.-H., Yeh, C.-H., Chan, Chung-Han

“…In the context of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, this study constructs three statistical models to test different determinants that affect disaster fatality at the village level, including seismic hazard, exposure of population and fragile buildings, and demographic and socioeconomic vulnerability. The Poisson regression model is used to estimate the impact of these factors on fatalities. …”

GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis model for utility water demand: the case of Lodwar Municipality, Turkana County, Kenya by Wanguba, B, Siriba, DN, Okumu, BO

“…Municipalities and cities worldwide are struggling to maintain a steady supply of water to meet the increasing water demand. The study used Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to develop a decision support model that can be applied to improve the utility water demand management for the Lodwar Municipality in Turkana Kenya. …”

Macroevolutionary history of Neotropical vegetation during the Cenozoic: a palynological perspective from Colombia by De La Parra Bonilla, G
