Our models and understanding of the dynamics of earthquake rupture are based largely on
estimates of earthquake source parameters, such as stress drop and radiated seismic …

We investigate the global variation of earthquake stress drops using spectra of about 2000
events of mb≥ 5.5 between 1990 and 2007. We use an iterative least squares method to …

The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic
graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised …

Source parameter scaling for major and great thrust‐faulting events on circum‐Pacific
megathrusts is examined using uniformly processed finite‐fault inversions and radiated …

We use observations of earthquake source parameters over a wide magnitude range (MW∼
0–7) to place constraints on constitutive fault weakening. The data suggest a scale …

The present review of seismicity induced by mining is a continuation of the previous reviews,
published in 1990 and 2001 in Advances in Geophysics, describing the problems involved …

We compute and analyze P wave spectra from earthquakes in southern California between
1989 and 2001 using a method that isolates source‐, receiver‐, and path‐dependent terms …

Laboratory simulations of earthquakes show that at high slip rates, faults can weaken
significantly, aiding rupture,,. Various mechanisms, such as thermal pressurization and flash …

Induced earthquakes currently pose a significant hazard in the central United States, but
there is considerable uncertainty about the severity of their ground motions. We measure …

Large variability of earthquake stress drops and scaled energy has been commonly reported
in the literature, but it is difficult to assess how much of this variability is caused by …
