There is striking evidence that the dynamics of the Earth crust is controlled by a wide variety
of mutually dependent mechanisms acting at different spatial and temporal scales. The …

Abstract Interpretation of the b-value of earthquake frequency–magnitude distributions has
received considerable attention in recent decades. This paper provides a comprehensive …

Abstract On 1 April 2014, Northern Chile was struck by a magnitude 8.1 earthquake
following a protracted series of foreshocks. The Integrated Plate Boundary Observatory …

A major question for the hazard posed by injection‐induced seismicity is how large induced
earthquakes can be. Are their maximum magnitudes determined by injection parameters or …

Earthquakes, whatever their size, can trigger other earthquakes. Mainshocks cause
aftershocks to occur, which in turn activate their own local aftershock sequences, resulting in …

Maximum likelihood estimation of branching point process models via numerical
optimization procedures can be unstable and computationally intensive. We explore an …

The majority of earthquakes are aftershocks, yet aftershock physics is not well understood.
Many studies suggest that static stress changes, trigger aftershocks, but recent work …

We have initially developed a time-independent forecast for southern California by
smoothing the locations of magnitude 2 and larger earthquakes. We show that using small …

In this introduction, we review much of the recent work related to stress transfer, earthquake
triggering, and time‐dependent seismic hazard in order to provide context for the special …

Dynamic triggering of earthquakes by seismic waves is a robustly observed phenomenon
with well-documented examples from over 30 major earthquakes. We are now in a position …
