Introduction
Two institutions in Slovakia active in seismological research:
- Geophysical Institute of Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava
(Department of seismology, head: Miriam Kristekova),
- Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics,
Comenius University, Bratislava
(Department of Astronomy, Physics of the Earth and Meteorology,
head: Peter Moczo)
Both small teams cooperate closely
and coordinate their activities,
working as one team - only formally separated
into two institutions
Introduction
Our main research fields are:
- Numerical modeling of seismic motion and rupture propagation
(including development of methods
for numerical modeling and
for seismic signal analysis)
- Monitoring of earthquakes and their analysis,
collection and analysis of macroseismic data
- Seismic hazard assessment (and related sub-topics)
Introduction
We are interested in cooperation within topics suggested
in the first draft proposals
(A: Historical earthquake aspects & scenarios and Long-term & short
term monitoring aspects
or
B: Near real-time decision support for civil protection and data
exchange & networking)
and we consider cross-border cooperation in this kind of research
especially important
Introduction
In the following slides we will try to briefly address
items from draft proposals
where we (in our team) have some experiences
and/or
we are interested in cooperation in that kind of research
Activity A1
HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKE
A1.1. Historical earthquake research
– we are interested in analysis of following important historical EQs:
- the June 28, 1763 Komárno earthquake (I0 = 8-9° EMS-98)
- the January 15, 1858 Žilina earthquake (I0 = 8° EMS-98)
A1.2. Historical research of hot spots
– we are interested in analysis of following historical EQs
important for NPP Jaslovske Bohunice:
- the January 9, 1906 Dobrá Voda earthquake (I0 = 8-9° EMS-98)
- the March 5, 1930 Dobrá Voda earthquake (I0 = 7-8° EMS-98)
Activity A2
SCENARIOS
A2.1. Ground motion scenarios
– we have developed 3D finite-difference code
verified in several international verification and validation prediction tests
However the problem could be the availability
of sufficiently well-known 3D model for the sites of interest
A2.2. Microzonation: site effects
– we suggest to use also tools provided by ambient noise analysis
- at least the H/V spectral ratio method
here we have experiences from FP5 and FP6 projects
SESAME and NERIES
Activity A4
ACTIVE FAULTS
A4.1. Identification
– we suggest to try to use also another method
for identification of active faults:
nanoseismic monitoring using temporary field installations of small arrays
with processing and analysis by methodology
developed by the team of M. Joswig (Stuttgart)
- we were trained in this technique in Stuttgart and
we are starting to apply it in our important source zone
Little Carpathians Mts. (Malé Karpaty)
A4.5. Mechanism studies of earthquakes
– we are estimating focal mechanisms and moment tensor solutions
for weak EQs in Little Carpathians Mts. source zone
(very close to NPP Jaslovske Bohunice)
this work started during FP7 project AIM
Activity A5
SEISMICITY
A5.2. New common and integrated earthquake catalogue
– we are prepared to contribute
to the new regional earthquake catalogue
for the territory of Central Europe
Activity A6
SEISMIC HAZARD
A6.2. ...
– we would welcome preparation of a new regional seismic hazard map(s)
for the purpose of national annexes to EC8,
that would avoid discrepancies on the state borders
between different national maps
(although this is a natural requirement, it is not yet solved now)
- if not directly the new maps will be outputs of the project,
project activities will at least provide important data
that will allow produce new improved maps.
Draft proposal B
general comment only
several parts/activities in B version are similar to A version
with macroseismic and civil defense issues added
although we understand general importance
of issues addressed in B version
this proposal version is less specified
therefore
we would prefer to wait for discussions at this meeting
Thank you
