A way to synchronize models with seismic faults for earthquake forecasting: Insights from a simple stochastic model

, 2006
Numerical models are starting to be used for determining the future behaviour of seismic faults and fault networks. Their final goal would be to forecast future large earthquakes.

Earthquake forecasting and its verification [PDF]

, 2005
No proven method is currently available for the reliable short time prediction of earthquakes (minutes to months). However, it is possible to make probabilistic hazard assessments for earthquake risk. These are primarily based on the association of small

Shear-Wave Velocity Characterization of the USGS Hawaiian Strong-Motion Network on the Island of Hawaii and Development of an NEHRP Site-Class Map [PDF]

, 2011
To assess the level and nature of ground shaking in Hawaii for the purposes of earthquake hazard mitigation and seismic design, empirical ground-motion prediction models are desired.

Earthquake prediction

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1978
The study of precursory phenomena shows increasing promise as a basis for earthquake prediction. Long-range forecasting can be expected to reduce by a large factor the uncertainty of estimates based on the historical record, and also to facilitate the development of short-range forecasting.

High Resolution Seismicity Smoothing Method for Seismic Hazard Assessment

Russian Journal of Earth Sciences
A high resolution smoothing method is proposed for performing local estimates of the parameters of the Gutenberg-Richter law (GR). Using this method, the smoothing radius can be chosen large enough to ensure that the condition of applicability of GR law ...

Synergistic combination of systems for structural health monitoring and earthquake early warning for structural health prognosis and diagnosis [PDF]

, 2012
Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems are currently operating nationwide in Japan and are in beta-testing in California. Such a system detects an earthquake initiation using online signals from a seismic sensor network and broadcasts a warning of the ...

Gravity pattern in southeast margin of Tibetan Plateau and its implications to tectonics and large earthquakes

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019
There are many active faults in the southeast margin of Tibetan Plateau, where three large active faults zones, the Longmenshan, Xianshuihe and Anninghe, merge to form a "Y" shape. Strong crustal deformation and a complicated fault distribution accompany

A Partial Molten Low‐Velocity Layer Atop the Mantle Transition Zone Beneath the Western Junggar: Implication for the Formation of Subduction‐Induced Sub‐Slab Mantle Plume

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Deep subduction of plate generally could induce a partial molten low‐velocity layer (LVL) atop the mantle transition zone (MTZ) around the subduction zone.
