focal mechanism computations performed both by techniques based on use of P-onset polarities and by methods based on waveform inversion;
comparative analyses of seismological, geological and geophysical information for the comprehension of seismotectonic processes;
detection of seismogenic stress and seismic strain and modelling of local-to-regional scale geodynamic processes;
seismotomography studies for structural characterization of lithosphere and upper mantle;
tsunami.
