[11] The following initial data were used for geoinformation analysis: historical and instrumental
earthquake catalogue of Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology from 1552 till 30.01.2005, digital
elevation model in grid
30'' 30'', linear tectonic structures (active thrusts, non-active thrusts and
faults), and astronomical data (right ascension and declination of moon).
[12] Geoinformation modeling tools were presented by Web-GIS GeoProcessor 1.5 and GIS SeismoTide.
[13] Web-GIS GeoProcessor 1.5 (http://www.iitp.ru/projects/geo) is implemented as Java 1.5 applet. The applet can be used for decision support in environmental zonation, natural hazard and risk assessment, and exploration of natural resources. The system provides the following facilities of complex geodata analysis:
[14] GIS SeismoTide operates in the Matlab environment. It was designed specially for calculating tidal force characteristics, assessing the measure of correlation between seismicity and tidal force, and composing the maps of prevailing seismic activity. Each element of such a map shows phases (positive or negative) of tidal force components corresponding to higher recurrence rates of earthquakes. These maps facilitate the identification of seismically sensitive areas to the tidal force. Detection of the area is based both on visual analysis of the prevailing seismicity spatial pattern and on a statistical measure relationship between the seismic activity predominance and the different tidal force phases.
