Abstract The 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐oki earthquake is one of the world's best‐recorded
ruptures. In the aftermath of this devastating event, it is important to learn from the complete …

Starting from late seventies, many observations have been reported about observations in
space of signals reconciled with earthquakes and claimed as possible preseismic …

Rapid rupture fronts—akin to earthquakes—mediate the transition to frictional motion. Once
formed, their singular form, dynamics and arrest are well described by fracture mechanics …

An Mw 6.2 earthquake occurred in Suzu, northeastern Noto Peninsula, Japan, on 5 May
2023, followed by many aftershocks. Before this mainshock‐aftershock sequence, an …

Short term prediction of earthquake magnitude, time, and location is currently not possible.
In some cases, however, documented observations have been retrospectively considered …

We discuss data of three laboratory stick‐slip experiments on Westerly Granite samples
performed at elevated confining pressure and constant displacement rate on rough fracture …

Aseismic slip may occur during a long preparatory phase preceding earthquakes, and what
controls it remains poorly understood. In this study, we explored the role of load point …

Foreshocks may provide valuable information on the nucleation process of large
earthquakes. The 2021 Ms 6.4 Yangbi, Yunnan, China, earthquake was preceded by …

Emergency situations encompassing natural and human-made disasters, as well as their
cascading effects, pose serious threats to society at large. Machine learning (ML) algorithms …

Natural faults are often heterogeneous with spatially variable cohesion caused by healing
processes. Using rock bridges as laboratory analogs, we investigate how cohesion‐healed …
