The parameters of strong ground motions necessary for seismic hazard assessing of construction sites have pronounced regional differences. In inaccessible and poorly studied areas, the development of a ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) requires determination of regional characteristics of the radiation and propagation of seismic waves, in particular, the quality factor of the lithosphere. This work is devoted to determination of the quality factor and its frequency dependence for the Lena Delta, one of the ...

Receiver function analysis is a critical tool in seismology, used to study the deep structure of the crust and upper mantle. Information about the deep structure of the crust and seismicity is important initial data for developing a source model and seismic hazard assessment. The presence of sharp discontinuities beneath the monitoring station induces the generation of converted body waves, which propagate at slower velocities than those of the primary P-wave. Receiver function analysis utilizes the lag between th...
