time. A building located in a region of high seismic hazard is at lower risk if it is built to sound seismic engineering principles. On the other hand,...

hazard from induced seismicity can be assessed using similar techniques as for natural seismicity, although accounting for non-stationary seismicity....

The New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ), sometimes called the New Madrid fault line (or fault zone or fault system), is a major seismic zone and a prolific...
