Study on Coulomb Stress Triggering of the April 2015 M7.8 Nepal Earthquake Sequence

International Journal of Geophysics, 2016
In April 2015, a M7.8 earthquake occurred less than one month before a M7.3 earthquake near Kodari, Nepal. The Nepal earthquake sequences also include four larger (M > 6) aftershocks. To reveal the interrelation between the main shock and the aftershocks,

Coulomb static stress changes before and after the 23 October 2011 Van, eastern Turkey, earthquake (M_W= 7.1): implications for the earthquake hazard mitigation [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Coulomb stress changes before and after the 23 October 2011 Van, eastern Turkey, earthquake have been analysed using available data related to the background and the aftershock seismicity and the source faults.

Relation between stress heterogeneity and aftershock rate in the rate-and-state model [PDF]

, 2006
We estimate the rate of aftershocks triggered by a heterogeneous stress change, using the rate-and-state model of Dieterich [1994].We show that an exponential stress distribution Pt(au) ~exp(-tautau_0) gives an Omori law decay of aftershocks with time ~1/

Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]

, 2004
The seismic cycle on a major fault involves long periods of elastic strain and stress accumulation, driven by aseismic ductile deformation at depth, ultimately released by sudden fault slip events. Coseismic slip distributions are generally heterogeneous

Coulomb stress changes and magnitude-frequency distribution for Lake Van region

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021
The tectonic structure of Türkiye is under the influence of Arabian, Eurasian, African, and Anatolian plates. Lake Van region, located in eastern Türkiye, has been exposed to many devastating earthquakes in historical and instrumental periods. In this paper, using regional earthquakes, the tectonic stress variation of Lake Van region was investigated ...

Evidence for Anthropogenic Surface Loading as Trigger Mechanism of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake

, 2011
Two and a half years prior to China's M7.9 Wenchuan earthquake of May 2008, at least 300 million metric tons of water accumulated with additional seasonal water level changes in the Minjiang River Valley at the eastern margin of the Longmen Shan.

Conditions for the occurrence of seismic sequences in a fault system [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2016
We consider a fault system producing a sequence of seismic events of similar magnitudes. If the system is made up of n faults, there are n! possible sequences, differing from each other for the order of fault activation.

The shallow shelf approximation as a "sliding law" in a thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model

, 2008
The shallow shelf approximation is a better ``sliding law'' for ice sheet modeling than those sliding laws in which basal velocity is a function of driving stress.
