Regional stress field in Yunnan revealed by the focal mechanisms of moderate and small earthquakes

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2019
We determined focal mechanism solutions of 627 earthquakes of magnitude M ≥ 3.0 in Yunnan from January 2008 to May 2018 by using broadband waveforms recorded by 287 permanent and temporary regional stations.

Statistical modeling of ground motion relations for seismic hazard analysis

open access: yes, 2013
We introduce a new approach for ground motion relations (GMR) in the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), being influenced by the extreme value theory of mathematical statistics. Therein, we understand a GMR as a random function.

Earthquake Prediction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the World Association for Emergency and Disaster Medicine, 1987
Every new earthquake disaster revives the idea of earthquake prediction, the idea which was considered a few decades ago as a fantasy scientific endeavor. However, recent technical and scientific developments, as well as some social and economic pressures, have created a quite different atmosphere.

Three-dimensional combined inversion method of the MT and Network-MT response functions

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space
Galvanic distortion caused by lateral small-scale inhomogeneities near the Earth’s surface distorts the impedance tensor of the magnetotelluric (MT) method. The distorted impedance tensor can lead to a false image of the subsurface electrical resistivity

Characteristic Changes of Scale Invariance of Seismicity Prior to Large Earthquakes: A Constructive Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geophysics, 2013
Recently, research on the characteristic changes of scale invariance of seismicity before large earthquakes has received considerable attention. However, in some circumstances, it is not easy to obtain these characteristic changes because the features of

Why didn't scientists predict the earthquakes? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The earthquakes that caused devastation in Haiti on 12 January 2010 and in Chile on 27 February 2010 have reminded us once more of the tremendous destructive power of nature.
