Geoscience-2020-Abstract-Book.Pdf GEOSCIENCE 2020 BOOK OF ABSTRACTS Editors: Florina CHITEA Dumitru IOANE Irina STANCIU București, 2020 FOREWORD GEOSCIENCE is a yearly symposium held in Bucharest, Romania and organized by the Romanian Society of Applied Geophysics (SGAR). Over the years, the symposium has continued to grow and expand its area of interest, tackling topics ranging from Earth Physics (Geodynamics, Seismology and Geomagnetism), Near Surface Geophysics, Geoscience for Energy, Geoscience for Cave and Karst Areas, Geology or Environmental Studies & Geohazards, to Geoscience For Society, Education And Environment. This year, the GEOSCIENCE International Symposium had to be held exclusively online, over the course of three days (20-22 November 2020). The event offered a wide range of topics and welcomed contributions in various research areas, with the clear intention of providing the geoscientific community and industry with the opportunity to share scientific knowledge and expertise, as well as to discuss the newest trends in the field of applied or theoretical geoscience. The Romanian Society of Applied Geophysics (SGAR) is proud to have hosted researchers, professors and engineers from the extended field of Earth Sciences. We would also like to acknowledge the strong international presence at this year’s edition of the event, with presenters from countries such as the U.S.A., Switzerland, Greece, France, Serbia, Russia, UK, Turkey, India or China joining the Romanian participants. GEOSCIENCE 2020 International Symposium was organized in collaboration with the National Institute for Research and Development for Earth Physics, the “Sabba Ştefănescu” Institute of Geodynamics of the Romanian Academy, as well as with the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics, University of Bucharest, Romania. A selection of the works presented during the symposium will also appear as extended papers within a forthcoming book under the aegis of the Romanian Academy Publishing House.

  • Professor Herbert Walther (1935-2006)
    Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 59, No. 1, P. 3–4, 2007 IN MEMORIAM Professor Herbert Walther (1935-2006) Professor Herbert Walther, director and founder of Max-Planck Institut for Quantum Optics (MPQ), Garching, passed from this world on 22 July 2006, in Munich. He was an outstanding researcher of the physics of LIGHT, an exceptional Man and Friend, an Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy, a member of the Editorial board of the “Romanian Reports in Physics” and one of the strongest supporters of the “ROMOPTO” conferences. Professor Herbert Walther was born on 19 January 1935, in Ludwigshafen/ Rhine. He studied Physics at the University of Heidelberg, where he received the diploma in 1960 and obtained a doctorate two years later. Research work led him to the University of Hanover, to the Laboratoire Aimé Cotton (CNRS) in Orsay and to the Joint Laboratory of Astrophysics in Boulder, Colorado. He received positions of Professor at the University of Bonn in 1971, then at the University of Cologne. Since 1975, to his retirement in 2003, he held up the chair for Experimental Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University, in Munich, 2003. In 1976, Prof. Walther, together with Prof. Karl-Ludwig Kompa and Dr. S. Witkowski, formed the project group “Laser Research” in the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching. Five years later, the project group became an institute and in 1986 it took the name of MPQ, with the new location in Kopfermann Strasse. Professor Walther was a director at the MPQ and director/head of the Department of Laser Physics until his “Emeritierung”, in February 2003.

MSC: 01-01; 01-02 Corduneanu’s life Constantin Corduneanu was born on July 26, 1928, in the city of Iaşi, Province of Moldova, Romania, from the parents Costache and Aglaia Corduneanu. He completed his elementary education in the village of Potangeni, Movileni commune in the District of Iaşi, located at a distance of about 25 Km. from the City of Iaşi, where his parents and some uncles were his teachers. This village was also the place where his paternal grandparents were living. At the age of 12, he had to go to the City of Iaşi to get his secondary education. He did not want to take the advice of his parents or his grandfather. Instead, he chose the idea of one of his uncles, who, during the First World War, was a sergeant in the Romanian Cavalry. He participated in the competition for a place at the Military Lyceum of Iaşi, placing 10th out of 400 competitors. He completed his secondary education in 1947. Corduneanu had great mathematics teachers during his secondary education. For example, Nicolae Donciu, who was serving as an assistant to Dimitrie Pompeiu, well known in complex analysis at the time.

  • Intensity Seismic Hazard Map of Romania by Probabilistic and (Neo)Deterministic Approaches, Linear and Nonlinear Analyses*
    Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 63, No. 1, P. 226–239, 2011 EARTH PHYSICS INTENSITY SEISMIC HAZARD MAP OF ROMANIA BY PROBABILISTIC AND (NEO)DETERMINISTIC APPROACHES, LINEAR AND NONLINEAR ANALYSES* GHEORGHE MĂRMUREANU, CARMEN ORTANZA CIOFLAN, ALEXANDRU MĂRMUREANU National Institute for Earth Physics P.O.Box MG-2, RO-077125 Bucharest-Magurele, Romania, E-mail:[email protected] Received September 27, 2010 Abstract. The last zonation seismic map has areas where seismic intensities are under- evaluated (e.g. Dobrogea, Banat etc.), and other areas are over-evaluated. The fundamental unacceptable point of view is that this design code is in peak ground accelerations which generates a lot of drawbacks to civil structural designers and to insurance companies which are paying all damages and causalities in function of earthquake intensity. The mapping is carried out using probabilistic approach and a complex hybrid waveform modeling method which combines the modal summation technique with finite-difference one to describe the seismic waves propagation through an inelastic space from source to free field surface. The result is a new seismic map in intensities by using probabilistic and deterministic approaches, linear and nonlinear seismology and developing the concept of control earthquake to obtain the banana shape of the attenuations curves of the macroseismic intensity along the directions defined by azimuths. Key words: Seismic hazard, probabilistic analysis, (neo)deterministic approach, etalon earthquake, seismic intensity. 1.

Page 7: BeSafe!/ Bibliography..…………...…. 2. 2 \ (What is an earthquake? About earthquakes) An earthquake is a fast and violent shaking in the tectonic plates of the Earth, often caused by volcanic activity because of changes or movements of the crust of the Earth. Sudden motion in the crust of the earth leads to huge amounts of energy being released into fractures or defects that cause the Earth to shake. Volcanic-generated earthquakes are considered a form of endogenous processes. Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon, like rain or snow. It affects every part of the Earth and, depending on the effects that they produce, they may be small and unimportant, or they may be catastrophic. The research involved in the study of seismic conditions is called seismology. “Seismo” means shaking in greek. Earthquakes are investigated by scientists named seismologists. Earthquake research reveals that the Earth is not static. The earth's cover is divided into big sections (tectonic plates). These plates are continuously moving, but sluggish. As a consequence, the interaction between them induces a buildup of voltage. This stress is abruptly released, leading to earthquakes from time to time. After the earthquake, released energy is transmitted by seismic waves across the Earth. The first consistent theories of earthquakes were recently formulated. Romania has great seismic potential, an aspect stressed by seismic risk studies and the P100-1 seismic design code provisions. In the seismic zone of Vrancea, Romania at 60-180 km deep, essentially whenever an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 7 can occur.
