Creep fronts and complexity in laboratory earthquake sequences illuminate delayed earthquake triggering [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Laboratory earthquake experiments reproduce delayed earthquake triggering, similar to aftershocks, as a result of propagating slow slip fronts. The speed of the fronts can be highly sensitive to fault stress levels left behind by previous earthquakes.

The tidal triggering of earthquakes
地震科学进展, 2021 The tidal triggering of earthquakes refers to the phenomenon that the stress change caused by the tide triggers the earthquake. Because the study of the tidal triggering of earthquakes may provide valuable information on the conditions of fault rupture ...

Precursory pattern of tidal triggering of earthquakes in six regions of China: the possible relation to the crustal heterogeneity [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 We found the possible correlation between the precursory pattern of tidal triggering of earthquakes and the crustal heterogeneities, which is of particular importance to the researchers in earthquake prediction and earthquake hazard prevention.
