Can earthquake size be controlled by the initial seconds of rupture?

, 2007
It has been argued that the dominant period T_p derived from the initial seconds of a seismogram, hence only depending on the initial phases of earthquake rupture, seems to scale with the final size of the earthquake.

Modulation of Slow Slip Event Characteristics Throughout the Costa Rica Subduction Zone Earthquake Cycle

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Slow slip events (SSEs) represent an aseismic transient slip mode that repeats quasi‐periodically, near or partially overlapping with the megathrust earthquake zone. However, the process of stress interaction between SSEs and earthquake zones is not clearly understood.

Peak Ground Velocity Constrains the Scaling and Variability of Seismic Radiated Energy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Seismic radiated energy is fundamental to earthquake physics, yet its scaling remains debated. Two conflicting views—magnitude‐invariant apparent stress and systematically increasing apparent stress—have persisted partly because source spectral estimates are poorly constrained.

A Unified Quadratic Scaling Relation Between Potency and Local Earthquake Magnitudes for −1.8 ≤ ML ≤ 7.5

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Quantifying earthquake size across scales requires linking physical source parameters to empirical magnitude measures, especially for microearthquakes where attenuation, scattering, and instrumental limitations complicate source characterization.

Decadal Creep Acceleration on the Northern Japan Trench Driven by Erosion of Heterogeneously Locked Asperities

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Geodetic and seismic observations before the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐oki earthquake indicate decadal‐scale acceleration of aseismic slip along the northern Japan Trench, but the mechanism remains debated. We show that this transient can be explained by creep‐front propagation that progressively erodes heterogeneously locked asperities.

Multi‐Scale Growth of an Mw 7.0 Earthquake via Hierarchical Cascading Rupture From an Mw 3.8 Repeating Event

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract To understand what governs earthquake size, we investigated the 2021 Mw 7.0 Japan Trench earthquake, which began near a nest of repeating earthquakes. High‐precision hypocenter relocation and P‐waveform correlation show that the mainshock initiated nearly identically to Mw 3.8 repeaters.
