Magma extrusion, lava dome growth, dome collapse, and associated pyroclastic flow hazards are among the important volcanological studies. Volcán de Colima is one of the most active volcanoes in North America. It is located in the western part of the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt at 3,860 m.

Rotational seismology is a relatively new area of science. Rotational movements can be caused by earthquakes, explosions or other causes. Rotational seismology could be applied in a wide range of seismology disciplines, including strong-motion and broadband seismology, earthquake engineering, earthquake physics, seismic instrumentation, and seismic hazards. The figure shows how the various phases of an earthquake can be easily determined by using rotational sensors. Of particular interest are the anomalously large rotational movements recorded in the near zone.

The problem of estimating the apparent slowness vector of a plane P-wave generated by a regional seismic event from observations of a small-aperture seismic array is considered in the paper written by A.V. Varypaev and A.F. Kushnir. The case is considered when array sensors are affected by strong non-stationary and non-Gaussian random noise.

Lander, was published in the journal Natural Hazard (Q2 WoS).
The study was carried out by the staff of IEPT RAS (synthetic catalog of earthquakes), ICT SB RAS (calculation of the heights of tsunamis), IVS FEB RAS (field observations).

The existence of active subduction in the Indo-Burman arc is a debatable issue because the Indian plate converges very obliquely beneath the Burma plate. Recent GPS measurements in Bangladesh, Myanmar, and northeast India indicate 13–17 mm/y of plate convergence along a shallow dipping megathrust while most of the strike-slip motion occurs on several steep faults, consistent with patterns of strain partitioning at subduction zones.
More“Modelling the seismic potential of the Indo-Burman megathrust”The Corsica–Sardinia lithospheric block is traditionally viewed as a region of notoriously low seismicity. Earthquake catalogs report only three moderate earthquakes in the range of magnitudes 5.0–5.1. The scarcity of documented seismicity in the region does not allow for the reliable assessment of the seismic hazard. In this paper, we make an attempt to evaluate the seismic potential of the Corsica–Sardinia region employing the morphostructural zoning (MSZ) that allows for the identification of locations of potential earthquakes.
