Human Losses and Damage Expected in Future Earthquakes on Faial Island–Azores
Fontiela, João; Rosset, P.; Wyss, M.; Bezzeghoud, mourad; Borges, J. F.; Rodrigues, F. C.Since the 15th century, the death toll due to large earthquakes has reached approximately 6300 in the Azores and 17 for Faial Island. The likely number of fatalities and injuries in future large earthquakes (M6+) in Faial Island is estimated using the software QLARM (Quake Loss Assessment for Response and Mitigation) and its dataset, validated at the regional scale. The current population for the 13 settlements...

Fontiela, João; Bezzeghoud, Mourad; Oliveira, Carlos Sousa; Ferreira Amaral, Monica; Nunes, João CarlosThe main goal of the International Meeting “40 Years of the 1980 Azores Earthquake” was promoting a reflection of the earthquake of January 1st, 1980, and the advances since them on topics like seismology, seismic hazard, and risk, building rehabilitation and public policies. Nevertheless, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the organizing committee decided that the meeting should be online and re- arrange the strate...
INVESTIGAÇÃO DA SEQUÊNCIA SÍSMICA INICIADA PELO SISMO DE ARRAIOLOS (15/1/2018, ...
Matias, Luis; Rio, Inês; Waschilala, Piedade; Vales, Dina; Borges, José; Dias, Nuno; Carrilho, Fernando; Caldeira, Bento; Custódio, SusanaThe Arraiolos earthquake occurred the 15th January 2018 at 11:51 UTC with a magnitude ML=4.9 The main shock was followed by many aftershocks, some of them felt by the population, such as the ML=3.1 2018-02-01 event. A few hours after the main shock the ICT (Instituto de Ciências da Terra, Évora) and the IDL (Instituto Dom Luiz) began the deployment of a dense temporary seismic network that attained a total of 3...
Large earthquakes in the Azores.
Caldeira, Bento; Fontiela, João; Borges, J. Fernando; Bezzeghoud, MouradThe history of the Azores archipelago, from its discovery and settlement in the first half of the 15th century through the present, is marked by the social and economic impacts produced by earthquakes, mainly the high-intensity ones. Information that has been compiled leads to the conclusion that in this period, 33 earthquakes with intensity equal to or greater than VII have affected the Azores, which caused ap...

Borges, José; Caldeira, Bento; Fontiela, João; Washilala, Piedade; Oliveira, Rui Jorge; Bezzeghoud, Mourad; Araújo, António; Vales, DinaEm 15 de janeiro de 2018 às 11:51 (UTC), ocorreu um sismo de magnitude 4,9 (ML). O seu hipocentro localiza-se na região NE de Arraiolos, perto da Aldeia da Serra, geograficamente localizado a 38,79 N, 7,93 W e a profundidade de 11 km (relatório do Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera - IPMA). Devido à sua magnitude moderada, o terramoto não causou qualquer dano, mas foi amplamente sentido no Centro e no Su...
The largest earthquakes in Algeria in the modern period: the El Asnam and Zemmo...
Bezzeghoud, Mourad; Ayadi, Abdelhakim; Caldeira, Bento; Fontiela, João; Borges, J. FernandoAlgeria has experienced many destructive earthquakes during the last few centuries (e.g., Ayadi and Bezzeghoud, 2015). The city of El Asnam (formerly Orléanville, today Chlef) was severely damaged in 1954 and 1980 by magnitude 6.7 and 7.3 earthquakes, respectively. On October 10, 1989, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the Mont Chenoua-Tipasa coastal area approximately 150 km west of Zemmouri, which is where th...

Maximum Observed Intensity Map for the Azores Archipelago (Portugal) from 1522-...
Fontiela, João; Bezzeghoud, Mourad; Rosset, Philippe; Rodrigues, Francisco CotaThe Azores archipelago is a seismically active region composed of nine islands and located at the triple junction of the American, Nubian, and Eurasian plates. Since its settlement in the fifteenth century, 33 earthquakes with intensity higher than VII have been reported. This article shows areas that experienced strong ground shaking using maximum observed intensity (MOI) mapping. For this purpose, 323 records...

Okada, Jun; Sato, Hiroshi; Mimatsu, Saburo; Fontiela, João; Okada, HiromuVolcanic eruptions can occur after decades-centuries long dormancy as has been seen from the recent examples: Mount St. Helens 1980, Pinatubo 1991, Unzen 1991, Soufrière Hills volcano 1995, Chaitén 2008, and Eyjafjallajökull 2010. Bandai volcano, NE Japan experienced a large scale sector collapse in 1888 which killed 477 people. We study how this catastrophic event is looked back by scientists, government and t...
