  1. GUVERNUL ROMANIEI Project DACEA: DAnube Cross-border system for Earthquakes Alert Romania – Staying focused on Vrancea – a major earthquakes’ sources; why do we need this project?

  2. Romania: South-East view and Carpathian Arch

  3. Earthquakes in the Carpathian-Pannonian region are confined to the crust, except the Vrancea zone, where earthquakes with focal depth down to 200 km occur. For example, the ruptured area migrated from 150 km to 180 km (Nov. 10,1940 Vrancea earthquake, Mw =7.7), from 90 to 110 km (March 4, 1977 earthquake, Mw =7.4),from 130 to 150 km (Aug. 30,1986, Mw = 7.1) and from 70 to 90 km (May 30,1990, Mw =6.9) depth. The depth interval between 110 km and 130 km remains not ruptured since 1802, October 26, when it was the strongest earthquake occurred in this part of Central Europe. The magnitude is assumed to be Mw =7.9 - 8.0 and this depth interval is a natural candidate for the next strong Vrancea event. The strong seismic events originating from Vrancea area can generate the most destructive effects experienced in Romania, and may seriously affect high risk man-made structures such as nuclear power plants (Cernavoda, Kosloduj etc.),chemical plants, large dams, and pipelines located within a wide area from Central Europe to Moscow or to Rome. More, Vrancea type of seismicity is nowhere else observed on earth.

  4. The recent stress and strain pattern in the Central Mediterranean Area

  5. Calabria-Sicilian Arch, African and Adriatic plates, Pannonian Basin, Carpathian Arch

  6. The strain transfer from the active Adriatic,Aegean and Vrancea deformation fronts through the ALCADI-Pannonian System

  7. Simplified Late Neogene tectonic map of the Pannonian Basin and its surroundings

  8. Topograhy and Moho layer and the isosurface of the 2.2% p-wave velocity anomaly of the Vrancea area from the seismic tomography work

  9. March 4, 1977 earthquake M=7.2: 1578 dead and 11,321 injured (90% of dead and injured 67% of Bucharest), 36 blocks in Bucharest, fellt to the ground, 32,900 houses collapsed or severely damaged 35,000 families homeless, tens of thousands of buildings damaged, many other damage and destruction in the industry and economy etc. What can be done?

  10. Earthquakes at depths h=150 km, 29 seconds the warning time for Bucharest

  11. Early Warning System for Deep Strong Vrancea Eartquakes(EWS) - NIEP

  12. EWS for irradiator nuclear installation from Bucharest- Magurele

  13. EWS and Shake Map Location in seismic risk management, in security of critical infrastructure systems as a system of systemsin Romania

  14. The comand room from Bucharest

  15. Thank you for your attention ! DACEA PROJECT !
