Breakdown of the Gutenberg‐Richter relation for microearthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing: Influence of stratabound fractures
Hydraulic fracturing, a powerful completion technique used to enhance oil or gas production
from impermeable strata, may trigger unintended earthquake activity. The primary basis for …

Undersampling power-law size distributions: effect on the assessment of extreme natural hazards
The effect of undersampling on estimating the size of extreme natural hazards from historical
data is examined. Tests using synthetic catalogs indicate that the tail of an empirical size …

Reconstruction of far-field tsunami amplitude distributions from earthquake sources
The probability distribution of far-field tsunami amplitudes is explained in relation to the
distribution of seismic moment at subduction zones. Tsunami amplitude distributions at tide …

A combinatorial approach to determine earthquake magnitude distributions on a variable slip-rate fault
Combinatorial methods are used to determine the spatial distribution of earthquake
magnitudes on a fault whose slip rate varies along strike. Input to the problem is a finite …
