1. The Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown: towards the (re)construction of a safe, sustainable, and compassionate society in Japan's shrinking regions

   Peter Matanle in Local Environment (2011)

   Japan's rural regions have been shrinking for the entire post-war period, and successive efforts to revitalise rural society have failed. This article examines whether the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, and the subsequent meltdown at the…

2. Citation advantage of open access articles.

   Gunther Eysenbach in PLoS biology (2006)

   Open access (OA) to the research literature has the potential to accelerate recognition and dissemination of research findings, but its actual effects are controversial. This was a longitudinal bibliometric analysis of a cohort of OA and non-OA…

3. Surface ruptures and building damage of the 2003 Bam, Iran, earthquake mapped by satellite synthetic aperture radar interferometric correlation

   E J Fielding in Journal of Geophysical Research (2005)

   We use the interferometric correlation from Envisat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to map the details of the surface ruptures related to the 26 December 2003 earthquake that devastated Bam, Iran. The main strike-slip fault rupture south of…

4. The 2003 Bam (Iran) earthquake: Rupture of a blind strike-slip fault

   Morteza Talebian in Geophysical Research Letters (2004)

   AnMw 6.5 earthquake devastated the town of Bam in southeast Iran on 26 December 2003. Surface displacements and decorrelation effects, mapped using Envisat radar data, reveal that over 2 m of slip occurred at depth on a fault that had not previously…

6. Interseismic strain accumulation measured by GPS in the seismic gap between Constitución and Concepción in Chile

   J C Ruegg, A Rudloff, C Vigny, R Madariaga, J B De Chabalier, J Campos, et al. in Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors (2009)

   The Concepción–Constitución area [35–37°S] in South Central Chile is very likely a mature seismic gap, since no large subduction earthquake has occurred there since 1835. Three campaigns of global positioning system (GPS) measurements were carried…
