Periodic or quasiperiodic earthquake recurrence on individual faults, as predicted by the
elastic rebound model, is not common in nature. Instead, most earthquake sequences are …

Understanding the relation between the recurrence of large and small earthquakes is a
formidable challenge, because multiple data sets with poorly known uncertainties are …

Elastic rebound theory forms the basis of the standard earthquake cycle model and predicts
large earthquakes to recur regularly through cycles of strain accumulation and release. Yet …

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the statistical distributions of recurrence times of
earthquakes. Recurrence times are the time intervals between successive earthquakes at a …

It is well known that earthquakes do not occur randomly in space and time. Foreshocks,
aftershocks, precursory activation, and quiescence are just some of the patterns recognized …

The macroscopic behaviour of a fault zone can be described by a classic Coulomb friction
law and static-kinetic rheology. The critical failure stress leading to the activation of a single …

We tested the hypothesis that, on the scale of a decade, earthquakes deeper than 60 km are
produced at an approximately constant, that is, stationary Poissonian rate. We selected …

Assessment of a region's seismic hazard requires knowledge of the repeat times and the
regularity of earthquake recurrence. For most areas, the earthquake catalog is too short to …

The topic of seismicity patterns is one in which significant advances in the understanding of
seismotectonics and earthquake hazard are being made, and in which controversies have …

In a thoughtful article by Cornell and Winterstein (1988), the" conventional Poisson
earthquake model" is vindicated. This model of earthquake hazard was first proposed in a …
