Mainshock‐Induced Stress Changes Modulate Initial Aftershocks on Complex Branching Faults of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Large earthquakes can activate complex aftershock fault networks. In such systems, what controls the spatiotemporal evolution of early aftershocks remains a critical yet unresolved problem. Here, using the 2019 M 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake as an example, we partition the first 10 days of aftershocks onto 15 branching faults activated by the ...

Interplate seismicity at the CRISP site: the 2002 Osa earthquake sequence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Costa Rica Seismogenesis Project (CRISP) is designed to explore the processes involved in the nucleation of large interplate earthquakes in erosional subduction zones.

Hydro‐Mechanical Controls on Swarm Recurrence on the Westernmost Gofar Transform Fault, East Pacific Rise

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Swarms are microearthquake clusters governed by aseismic deformation, fluid migration, and stress changes, but the underlying mechanisms for their recurrence remain elusive. In 2008, abundant swarms were observed on the westernmost Gofar transform fault.

Extensive Characterization of Seismic Laws in Acoustic Emissions of Crumpled Plastic Sheets

open access: yes, 2016
Statistical similarities between earthquakes and other systems that emit cracking noises have been explored in diverse contexts, ranging from materials science to financial and social systems. Such analogies give promise of a unified and universal theory

Foreshock Migration Preceding the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake: Insights From Single‐Station Observations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract We investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of foreshocks preceding the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake by applying single‐station analysis to waveforms recorded at the nearest seismic station. Our results reveal a southwestward migration of foreshocks toward the mainshock epicenter through multiple stages, with a migration speed of ∼7.0 km ...

Decomposing Earthquake Moment Tensors Using P‐Wave First Motion: Insights Into Global Events With Significant Non‐Double‐Couple Components

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The decomposition of earthquake moment tensors into isotropic and deviatoric components is standard in seismology. The deviatoric part is further separated into double‐couple (DC) and non‐double‐couple (NDC) components, with NDC providing insights into source complexity. However, existing methods often yield inconsistent results with different

Are seismic waiting time distributions universal?

open access: yes, 2004
We show that seismic waiting time distributions in California and Iceland have many features in common as, for example, a power-law decay with exponent $\alpha \approx 1.1$ for intermediate and with exponent $\gamma \approx 0.6$ for short waiting times ...

Power Law Distributions of Seismic Rates

open access: yes, 2004
We report an empirical determination of the probability density functions $P_{\text{data}}(r)$ of the number $r$ of earthquakes in finite space-time windows for the California catalog. We find a stable power law tail $P_{\text{data}}(r) \sim 1/r^{1+\mu}$

Geodetic, teleseismic, and strong motion constraints on slip from recent southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We use seismic and geodetic data both jointly and separately to constrain coseismic slip from the 12 November 1996 M_w 7.7 and 23 June 2001 M_w 8.5 southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes, as well as two large aftershocks following the 2001 earthquake ...
