Relationship Between the 2019 Ridgecrest, California, MW7.1 Earthquake and Its MW6.4 Foreshock Sequence [PDF]
The 2019 Ridgecrest MW7.1 earthquake has received significant attention due to its complex fault activity. It is also noticeable for its MW6.4 foreshock sequence.

The Crete Isl. (Greece) Mw6.0 Earthquake of 27 September 2021: Expecting the Unexpected
The 27 September 2021 damaging mainshock (Mw6.0) is the first known strong earthquake that ruptured the Arkalochori area, Crete Isl., Greece, during the entire historical period, making it an unexpected event in the long-term sense.

On the Possibility of Reproducing Utsu’s Law for Earthquakes with a Spring-Block SOC Model
The Olami, Feder and Christensen (OFC) spring-block model has proven to be a powerful tool for analyzing and comparing synthetic and real earthquakes. This work proposes the possible reproduction of Utsu’s law for earthquakes in the OFC model.

Spatiotemporal Clustering of Seismicity in the Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area
Induced seismicity has become a concern for industry and nearby residents. Fluid-induced earthquakes are a side effect of industrial operations such as hydraulic fracturing, where high-pressure fluids are pumped into the Earth’s crust to increase ...

Earthquake Productivity Law in a Wide Magnitude Range
Earthquakes are usually followed by aftershocks. The number of aftershocks—the so-called productivity—depends on the magnitude of the earthquake. In seismic modeling it is usually assumed that the number of aftershocks is approximately the same for ...

Power Law Distributions of Offspring and Generation Numbers in Branching Models of Earthquake Triggering [PDF]
We consider a general stochastic branching process, which is relevant to earthquakes as well as to many other systems, and we study the distributions of the total number of offsprings (direct and indirect aftershocks in seismicity) and of the total ...

After the Tohoku earthquake in 2011, we observed that aftershocks tended to occur in a wide region after such a large earthquake. These aftershocks resulted in secondary damage or delayed rescue and recovery activities.

Most aftershocks occur in areas experiencing large co‐seismic stress changes, yet some occur long after the mainshock in remote lightly stressed regions. The triggering mechanism of these remote delayed aftershocks is not well understood.

Indonesia is located on the third meeting of the active tectonic world plates which are Eurasian Indian - Australia and the Pacific Plate. This condition makes Indonesia as a tectonically active area with seismicity level or pattern of high seismicity ...

Sub-critical and Super-critical Regimes in Epidemic Models of Earthquake Aftershocks [PDF]
We present an analytical solution and numerical tests of the epidemic-type aftershock (ETAS) model for aftershocks, which describes foreshocks, aftershocks and mainshocks on the same footing.
