We hypothesize that highly stressed asperities may be defined by mapping anomalously low
b values. Along the San Andreas fault near Parkfield the asperity under Middle Mountain …

The spatial variability of the b value of the frequency‐magnitude relationship and the decay
rate of aftershocks as described by the p value of the modified Omori law is investigated. By …

Statistics of earthquakes in California show linear frequency‐magnitude relationships in the
range of M2. 0 to M5. 5 for various data sets. Assuming Gutenberg‐Richter distributions …

The last decade and a half has seen an ardent development of self-organised criticality
(SOC), a new approach to complex systems, which has become important in many domains …

" Structural geology is a core component of knowledge needed for intelligent living with our
planet, truly sustainable development." It gives me great pleasure to write this brief foreword …

Since the introduction of the Burridge-Knopoff model for fault mechanics many spring-block
models have been proposed which purportedly generate a Gutenberg-Richter (GR) …

This study utilizes two non-linear approaches to characterize model behavior of earthquake
dynamics in the crucial tectonic regions of Northeast India (NEI). In particular, we have …

Результаты исследований сейсмичности на основе методов теории неравновесных
процессов и теории самоподобия позволяют рассматривать коровое землетрясение …

We analyzed measurements of the direction of maximum horizontal compressive stress as a
function of depth in two scientific research wells near the San Andreas Fault in central and …

The controls on an earthquake—s size are examined in a heterogeneous cellular automaton
that includes stress concentrations which scale with rupture size. Large events only occur …
