Magnitude-Dependent Omori Law: Empirical Study and Theory

, 2004
We propose a new physically-based ``multifractal stress activation'' model of earthquake interaction and triggering based on two simple ingredients: (i) a seismic rupture results from activated processes giving an exponential dependence on the local ...

Mainshocks are aftershocks of conditional foreshocks: How do foreshock statistical properties emerge from aftershock laws [PDF]

, 2003
The inverse Omori law for foreshocks discovered in the 1970s states that the rate of earthquakes prior to a mainshock increases on average as a power law ~ 1/(t_c-t)^p' of the time to the mainshock occurring at t_c.

Stochastic Properties of Static Friction [PDF]

, 2020
The onset of frictional motion is mediated by rupture-like slip fronts, which nucleate locally and propagate eventually along the entire interface causing global sliding.

Discussion on precise location, focal mechanism and seismogenic mechanism of Jiaokou reservoir earthquakes

地震科学进展, 2023
Jiaokou reservoir earthquakes in Ningbo from 2009 to 2021 were relocated using the double difference positioning method. The focal mechanism solutions of large earthquakes were calculated by HASH method.

Probabilistic Analysis of the Economic Impact of Earthquake Prediction Systems [PDF]

, 2014
This research initiates from the question of whether or not earthquake prediction systems are actually worth investing in, as the cost of operating such systems is quite large compared to the number of lives which may be saved and, furthermore, false ...

Limiting the effects of earthquakes on gravitational-wave interferometers

, 2017
Ground-based gravitational wave interferometers such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) are susceptible to high-magnitude teleseismic events, which can interrupt their operation in science mode and significantly reduce the ...

Advancements in deep tectonics and dynamic mechanisms beneath the eastern Tibetan Plateau—Inspirations from the 9th and 10th WTGTP Workshops

地球与行星物理论评
The Tibetan Plateau, known as the "Roof of the World" , is one of the most tectonically complex areas on Earth. Its deep tectonics and dynamical mechanisms have been the focus of intense research in the fields of deep geophysics and continental dynamics.

Distribution and Characteristics of Damming Landslides Triggered by 1920 M~8 Haiyuan Earthquake, NW China

Remote Sensing, 2022
Earthquake-triggered damming landslides threaten downstream residents and affect the regional landscape by disrupting water and sediment fluxes. Therefore, it is essential to study the distribution characteristics and distinctive controlling factors of ...
