Abstract The Human-induced Earthquake Database, HiQuake, is a comprehensive record of
earthquake sequences postulated to be induced by anthropogenic activity. It contains over …

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 …

An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes and Earth Structures is an introduction to
seismology and its role in the earth sciences, and is written for advanced undergraduate and …

We present a new global model for Recent plate velocities, REVEL, describing the relative
velocities of 19 plates and continental blocks. The model is derived from publicly available …

Large earthquakes within stable continental regions (SCR) show that significant amounts of
elastic strain can be released on geological structures far from plate boundary faults, where …

Recent researches have demonstrated the applicability of using Global Positioning System
(GPS) techniques to precisely determine the 3-D coordinates of moving points in the field of …

Geodetic measurements of crustal deformation over large areas deforming at slow rates (< 5
mm/yr over more than 1000 km), such as the Western Mediterranean and Western Europe …

The fault system responsible for New Madrid seismicity has generated temporally clustered
very large earthquakes in AD 900±100 years and AD 1450±150 years as well as in 1811 …

One of the most powerful features of plate tectonics is that the known plate motions give
insight into both the locations and average recurrence interval of future large earthquakes …

While deformation at the Earth's surface primarily occurs along tectonic plate boundaries,
major earthquakes have shaken regions deep within continental interiors. Three of the …
