The regional moment tensor of the 5 May 2014 Chiang Rai earthquake (Mw = 6.5), Northern Thailand, with its aftershocks and its implication to the stress and the instability of the Phayao Fault Zone
On 5 May 2014, the largest earthquake in Thailand modern history occurred in Northern Thailand with over a thousand aftershocks. Most of the epicenters are located within the trans...
Rheological behavior of tsunami run-up water containing alluvial deposit at coastline of Kedah, Malaysia
Tsunami run-up wave has been hypothesized as non-Newtonian fluid due to the presence of sediment and debris in its body. This paper asscesses the rheology of run-up wave based on t...
Rapid and Delayed Earthquake Triggering by the Song Tranh 2 Reservoir, Vietnam
Impoundment of the Song Tranh 2 reservoir in Vietnam was started in late 2010, and earthquakes started occurring in its vicinity soon after that. Frequency of earthquakes increased...
