Abstract

This paper reviews, with a few out of many examples, recent advances in computational geodynamics related to modelling of stress localization and earthquake occurrence. These studies provide a basis for a comprehensive seismic hazard analysis. Several case studies are considered: tectonic stress modelling in the southeastern Carpathians and central Apennines; dynamics of the lithospheric blocks and earthquake modelling for the Sunda arc and the Tibetan plateau; and seismic hazard assessment for the Vrancea region. Possibilities for earthquake prediction, mitigation and preparedness based on the earthquake science and computer modelling are discussed.
