Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on seismic hazard analysis, ground-motion modeling, and earthquake source characteristics. Studies investigate probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, including the impact of aftershocks and the development of ground-motion models for various tectonic settings. Research also explores earthquake source mechanisms, seismic wave attenuation, and the effects of geological structures on seismic wave propagation.
