There is growing evidence that some proportion of large and great earthquakes are
preceded by a period of accelerating seismic activity of moderate-sized earthquakes. These …

In January 2011, a sequence of earthquakes occurred in close proximity to a well, which
was being hydraulically fractured in south‐central Oklahoma. The hydraulic fracturing of the …

Understanding the earthquake rupture process is central to our understanding of fault
systems and earthquake hazards. Multiple hypotheses concerning the nature of fault rupture …

Unlike the North Anatolian fault zone, which has produced 11 large earthquakes since 1939,
the East Anatolian fault zone (EAFZ) has been relatively quiescent in the last century when …

In different subsurface energy technologies, traffic light systems (TLSs) have been
implemented for limiting the strength of induced seismicity. Despite their widespread …

Successive locations of individual large earthquakes (M w> 5.5) over years to centuries can
be difficult to explain with simple Coulomb stress transfer (CST) because it is common for …

Over the past decades, experience gained from mapping hundreds of hydraulic fracture
treatments with downhole geophones has shown that seismic events induced by these …

In order to investigate the importance of including strike-variable geometry and the
knowledge of historical and palaeoseismic earthquakes when modelling static Coulomb …

The onset of sliding motion is conditional on the propagation of rupture fronts that detach the
contacting asperities forming a frictional interface. These ruptures, when propagating over a …

The 1999 November 12 Düzce earthquake (M w= 7.1) was apparently the eastward
extension of the August 17, İzmit earthquake (M w= 7.4). The Düzce event caused heavy …
