Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 We propose a normal-stress-dependent Nagata law. Nagata et al. (J Geophys Res 117:B02314, 2012) revised the rate- and state-dependent friction law by introducing the shear stress dependence.

Acoustically-induced slip in sheared granular layers: application to dynamic earthquake triggering [PDF]
, 2015 A fundamental mystery in earthquake physics is ``how can an earthquake be triggered by distant seismic sources?'' Here, we use discrete element method simulations of a granular layer, during stick-slip, that is subject to transient vibrational excitation

Coulomb pre-stress and fault bends are ignored yet vital factors for earthquake triggering and hazard. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Successive locations of individual large earthquakes (Mw > 5.5) over years to centuries can be difficult to explain with simple Coulomb stress transfer (CST) because it is common for seismicity to circumvent nearest-neighbour along-strike faults where ...

AGU Advances, 2021 Earthquake triggering by seismic waves has been recognized as a phenomenon for nearly 30 years. However, our ability to study dynamic triggering has been limited by our ability to capture the triggering stresses accurately and record the resultant ...

Nature Communications, 2022 Earthquake triggered landslides often pose a great threat to human life and property. Emerging research has been devoted to documenting coseismic landslides failed during or shortly after earthquakes, however, the long-term seismic effect that causes ...

Stick-slip nucleation triggering of Wenchuan earthquake
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2021 The MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12th, 2008 on the steeply reverse fault of the Longmen Shan fault zone, Western China. Catastrophic failure and rupture occurred along the listric sliding surface.

Triggering an unexpected earthquake in an uncoupled subduction zone
Science Advances, 2021 Two large earthquakes in the Aleutian subduction zone provide unexpected evidence for low plate interface coupling. In the 1970s, the Shumagin Islands region of the Alaska subduction zone was identified as a seismic gap expected to host a future great ...

How size and trigger matter: analyzing rainfall- and earthquake-triggered landslide inventories and their causal relation in the Koshi River basin, central Himalaya [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Inventories of landslides caused by different triggering mechanisms, such as earthquakes, extreme rainfall events or anthropogenic activities, may show different characteristics in terms of distribution, contributing factors and frequency–area ...

Tiny stresses are capable of triggering earthquakes and tremors in Arunachal Himalaya
Scientific Reports, 2023 The Arunachal Himalaya has been hosting some notable events in the recent past. The tectonic history of Arunachal Himalaya is complex and has been influenced by several major tectonic events, including the 1950 Mw8.6 Assam-Tibet earthquake. In this study,

Generic mechanism for remote triggering of earthquakes [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2021 ``Remote triggering" refers to the inducement of earthquakes by weak perturbations that emanate from far away sources, typically intense earthquakes that happen at much larger distances than their nearby aftershocks, sometimes even around the globe. Here, we propose a mechanism for this phenomenon; the proposed mechanism is generic, resulting from the ...
