The 2011 Tohoku earthquake is another striking example–after the 2008 Wenchuan and
2010 Haiti earthquakes–of highly destructive earthquakes that occurred in areas predicted …

Since the 1960s, China has been conducting a persistent and systematic observation and
monitoring experiment to falsify the hypothesis of premonitory anomalies and the …

Abstract Theory suggests that social capital should moderate the impacts of climatic and
geophysical hazards and shape adaptive capacities and recovery trajectories, yet the …

Despite the importance of viscoelasticity in the evolution of crustal stress/strain being widely
recognized, the interpretation of interseismic geodetic measurements for assessing …

The Wenchuan earthquake was the most destructive earthquake in China, with the widest

On 23 May 2017, a clear day in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province in China,
located∼ 80 km away from the epicenter of the 2008 M s 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake …

Earthquake lights (EQLs) have long been considered mysterious natural phenomena, for
which no good physical explanation seemed to be available. Crucial to understanding …

We present a new approach to assessment of regional seismic hazard, which accounts for
observed (instrumentally recorded and historic) earthquakes, as well as for seismic events …
