Abstract The Magnitude–Frequency-Distribution (MFD) of earthquakes is typically modeled
with the (tapered) Gutenberg–Richter relation. The main parameter of this relation, the b …

Catastrophic failure in brittle, porous materials initiates when smaller-scale fractures localise
along an emergent fault zone in a transition from stable crack growth to dynamic rupture …

For induced seismicity, the non-stationary, heterogeneous character of subsurface stress
perturbations can be a source of spatiotemporal variations in the scaling of event sizes; one …

The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is known to host M9 megathrust ruptures; however, no
such event has occurred in historical observation. The distribution and characteristics of …

Short-term forecasting of estimated maximum magnitude (M^ max) is crucial to mitigate risks
of induced seismicity during fluid stimulation. Most previous methods require real-time …

SUMMARY The Gutenberg–Richter b-value is thought to be a proxy of stress conditions in
the crust and therefore able to locate asperities as zones of stress concentration responsible …

Dense arrays deployed near the hydraulic fracturing (HF) wells greatly enhance the
understanding of injection‐induced seismicity. In this study, we revisit the continuous …

Variations of the b‐value of the Gutenberg–Richter law are highly relevant in the context of
earthquake forecasting because they directly translate into varying probabilities of future …

Probabilistic earthquake forecasts estimate the likelihood of future earthquakes within a
specified time-space-magnitude window and are important because they inform planning of …

We evaluate, using the method of, the b‐value 3D maps for some volcanoes worldwide:
Cordillera de Guanacaste, Costa Rica; Etna, Italy; Hawaii, United States; Santorini, Greece; …
