Quinta-feira, dia 26/11, às 16h30, no auditório
do Módulo REUNI do Departamento de Geofísica, acontece o décimo segundo
seminário do LabSis, do ciclo de 2015. O palestrante será o professor Dr. Germán A. Prieto (Massachusetts
Institute of Technology - MIT).
Título:
Investigating possible mechanisms of
intermediate-depth and deep earthquakes using tele seismic and regional
records.
Resumo:
Deep earthquakes represent about 25% of the global
earthquake catalog. Despite their abundance, the physical mechanism behind
their rupture is poorly understood. I will present a number of studies at
global and local scales that try to constrain the mechanisms based on
seismological observables of the dynamics of earthquake ruptures. Some examples
include events around the world, some in south america and a recent earthquake
in Hindu-Kush.
