Architectural History of the Tbilisi Geophysical Observatory See

The article deals with the history of the foundation and development of the 19th century Tbilisi MagneticMeteorological Observatories, with a focus on the so-called Kukia observatory. Built between 1859 and 1861, it was the first building to be designed as an observatory not only in Tbilisi but also in the Caucasus. The article also traces the history of the successors of Tbilisi Magnetic-Meteorological Observatory: Karsani and Dusheti. The paper pays tribute to the medieval observatory of Tb...

Dynamics of the Aftershock Zone of the 1988 Spitak Earthquake Based on 35 Years of Data See

The features of aftershock manifestations of the 1988 Spitak earthquake have been studied in sufficient detail, but based on data for the first 2-3 years. The aftershock process is divided into highly active (1988-1991) and weakly active (1992 – present) periods. The overwhelming majority of 14,000 aftershocks (95%) and the predominant part of their energy (98%) were released during the active period. During the weakly active period, relative activation is observed in all the identified segme...

Assessment of the consequences of a destructive earthquake and the needs for rapid response forces (by the example of Armenia) See

In case of a seismic disaster occurring in a developing country, it is very important to determine promptly the number of possible victims and need for rescue forces to estimate the scope of required international assistance and to plan operations of rapid response forces. Rates of the seismic vulnerability of buildings, readiness of the rapid response forces, and other factors, differ from country to country and determine each country’s individual capacities and effectiveness in responding t...
