Statistical physics approach to earthquake occurrence and forecasting

L de Arcangelis, C Godano, JR Grasso, E Lippiello - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
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 …

Observations of static Coulomb stress triggering of the November 2011 M5.7 Oklahoma earthquake sequence

DF Sumy, ES Cochran, KM Keranen… - Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract In November 2011, a M5. 0 earthquake occurred less than a day before a M5. 7
earthquake near Prague, Oklahoma, which may have promoted failure of the mainshock and …

A process-based approach to understanding and managing triggered seismicity

BH Hager, J Dieterich, C Frohlich, R Juanes, S Mantica… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
There is growing concern about seismicity triggered by human activities, whereby small
increases in stress bring tectonically loaded faults to failure. Examples of such activities …

Seismicity rate immediately before and after main shock rupture from high‐frequency waveforms in Japan

Z Peng, JE Vidale, M Ishii… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
We analyze seismicity rate immediately before and after 82 main shocks with the
magnitudes ranging from 3 to 5 using waveforms recorded by the Hi‐net borehole array in …

What controls variations in aftershock productivity?

K Dascher‐Cousineau, EE Brodsky… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The number of aftershocks increases with mainshock size following a well‐defined scaling
law. However, excursions from the average behavior are common. This variability is …

Central shutdown and surrounding activation of aftershocks from megathrust earthquake stress transfer

S Toda, RS Stein - Nature Geoscience, 2022 - nature.com
Megathrust earthquakes release and transfer stress that has accumulated over hundreds of
years, leading to large aftershocks that can be highly destructive. Understanding the …

Abstract Knowledge on the interaction of active structures is essential to understand
mechanics of continental deformation and estimate the earthquake potential in complex …

The forecasting skill of physics‐based seismicity models during the 2010–2012 Canterbury, New Zealand, earthquake sequence

C Cattania, MJ Werner… - Seismological …, 2018 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The static coulomb stress hypothesis is a widely known physical mechanism for earthquake
triggering and thus a prime candidate for physics‐based operational earthquake forecasting …

Mainshock and aftershock sequence simulation in geometrically complex fault zones

S Ozawa, R Ando - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Aftershocks seem to be located along the trace of the mainshock fault; however, due to the
location error, we do not know their exact location relative to the mainshock fault. Here, we …

The 2007 M7. 7 Tocopilla northern Chile earthquake sequence: Implications for along‐strike and downdip rupture segmentation and megathrust frictional behavior

B Schurr, G Asch, M Rosenau, R Wang… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In 2007 a M7. 7 earthquake occurred near the town of Tocopilla within the northern Chile
seismic gap. Main shock slip, derived from coseismic surface deformation, was confined to …
