Dynamic nucleation as a cascade-up of earthquakes depending on rupture propagation velocity
Earth, Planets and Space, 2023 Earthquake dynamic rupture requires a nucleation process to provide sufficient energy to overcome the fracture energy. Large earthquakes may occur via a cascading rupture process, which includes many triggering processes that cascade from small to large ...

The Doppler effect induced by earthquakes: A case study of the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2022 Seismologists have found that the first arrival frequencies of P waves at different seismic stations have different widths, that is, different periods or frequencies, and they think that this phenomenon can be used to identify whether a Doppler effect is

Slip distribution of the 2010 August 27 Mw 5.8 Kuh-Zar earthquake from finite-fault modeling [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018 The slip distribution of a moderate earthquake in Iran, the 27th of August, 2010 Mw 5 : 8 Kuh-Zar earthquake, was estimated from regional broadband seismic data using constrained non-negative least squares linear slip inversion method.
