Serration and noise behaviors in plastically deforming solids are related to avalanches of
deformation processes. In the stress-strain curves, the serration characteristics are visible as …

Crustal deformation patterns are affected by multiscale granulation and healing processes
associated with phase transitions between continuum and discrete states of rocks. The …

Large shallow earthquakes are immediately followed by numerous aftershocks. A significant
portion of these events is missing in existing earthquake catalogues, mainly because …

There is striking evidence that the dynamics of the Earth crust is controlled by a wide variety
of mutually dependent mechanisms acting at different spatial and temporal scales. The …

Any earthquake can trigger more earthquakes. This triggering occurs in both the classical
aftershock zone as well as the far field. These populations of triggered earthquakes may or …

Important information about the earthquake generation process can be gained from
instrumental earthquake catalogs, but this requires complete recordings to avoid biased …

We study how a stress perturbation generated by a main shock affects a fault obeying the
rate‐state friction law using a simple slider block system. Depending on the model …

Two of the long-standing relationships of statistical seismology are power laws: the
Gutenberg–Richter relation describing the earthquake frequency–magnitude distribution …

We perform analytical and numerical studies of aftershock sequences following abrupt steps
of strain in a rheologically layered model of the lithosphere. The model consists of a weak …

We present two models for estimating the probabilities of future earthquakes in California, to
be tested in the Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP). The first is a …
