The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

The present paper discusses the seismicity of Africa and the need for the implementation of
vibration control strategies in Africa, erroneously considered as aseismic. The review …

A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis has been conducted for a potential nuclear power
plant site on the coast of South Africa, a country of low-to-moderate seismicity. The hazard …

Abstract We present the Seismotectonic Map of Africa based on a geological, geophysical
and geodetic database including instrumental seismicity and re-appraisal of large historical …

An earthquake of magnitude M w 6.5 occurred on the evening of 3 April 2017 in Central
Botswana, southern Africa. The event was well recorded by the regional seismic networks …

Abstract On 5 August 2014 at 1222 hours (local time), an earthquake of local magnitude
ML= 5.5 occurred in the Orkney area in the North West Province, South Africa. The …

Many years have passed since previous national seismic hazard maps were prepared for
South Africa. In those maps, zone-less techniques were applied. The availability of more …

This investigation examines the contemporary documentation of a sequence of low-
magnitude earthquakes at the fringes of the Kingdom of Sweden, today Southeastern …

Eukarya have been discovered in the deep subsurface at several locations in South Africa,
but how organisms reach the subsurface remains unknown. We studied river-subsurface …

South Africa is a country that is prone to droughts, earthquakes and other disasters. In this
environment, non-governmental stakeholders often provide a substantial part of the relief in …
