Optimized Traffic Light System with AIC and Application to the 2021 M6.7 Yangbi Earthquake Sequence
Entropy, 2023 One important question in earthquake prediction is whether a moderate or large earthquake will be followed by an even bigger one. Through temporal b-value evolution analysis, the traffic light system can be used to estimate if an earthquake is a ...

Implications of a percolation model for earthquake ‘nucleation’ [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1998 A percolation model is applied to the explanation of some of the qualitative and quantitative aspects associated with the recent observations of earthquake ‘nucleation’. An additional assumption is introduced that nucleation starts at the critical point of percolation.

Scientific Exploration of Induced SeisMicity and Stress (SEISMS) [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2017 Several major fault-drilling projects have captured the interseismic and postseismic periods of earthquakes. However, near-field observations of faults immediately before and during an earthquake remain elusive due to the unpredictable nature of ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary ScienceThe elastic properties of rocks in subduction zones are indicators of the stress states and determine the critical length required for earthquake nucleation.

Permeability-controlled migration of induced seismicity to deeper depths near Venus in North Texas
Scientific Reports, 2022 Migration of seismic events to deeper depths along basement faults over time has been observed in the wastewater injection sites, which can be correlated spatially and temporally to the propagation or retardation of pressure fronts and corresponding ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019 The depth extent of the crustal seismogenic zone is closely related to the size of earthquakes. The mechanisms that control the depth of the lower transition of the seismogenic zone are important issues in seismology and disaster mitigation.

How frictional ruptures and earthquakes nucleate and evolve
NatureFrictional motion is mediated by rapidly propagating ruptures that detach the ensemble of contacts forming the frictional interface between contacting bodies1-7. These ruptures are similar to shear cracks. When this process takes place in natural faults, these rapid ruptures are essentially earthquakes8,9. Although fracture mechanics describe the rapid

Scientific Reports, 2022 Understanding the mechanisms of crustal deformation along convergent margins is critical to identifying seismogenic structures and assessing earthquake hazards for nearby urban centers. In the southern central Andes (28–33 $$^{\circ }$$ ∘ S), differences

Off-fault deformation feedback and strain localization precursor during laboratory earthquakes
Communications Earth & EnvironmentRecent large-scale seismological observations have shown that off-fault strain localization and foreshock migration could serve as an early warning of an impending earthquake. However, this process is still largely unknown.
