Stress triggering of the Lushan M7. 0 earthquake by the Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake [PDF]
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2013 The Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake and the Lushan M7. 0 earthquake occurred in the north and south segments of the Longmenshan nappe tectonic belt, respectively. Based on the focal mechanism and finite fault model of the Wenchuan Ms8.

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 ...

, 1998 In this thesis, I present an observational study of multiplet earthquakes as a step towards understanding earthquake triggering. Several subsets of different seismicity catalogs are analyzed for earthquake clustering: (i) a global seismicity catalog of ...

Anthropogenic Triggering of Large Earthquakes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 The physical mechanism of the anthropogenic triggering of large earthquakes on active faults is studied on the basis of experimental phenomenology, i.e., that earthquakes occur on active tectonic faults, that crustal stress values are those measured in situ and, on active faults, comply to the values of the stress drop measured for real earthquakes ...

Strike-slip fault terminations at seismogenic depths : the structure and kinematics of the Glacier Lakes fault, Sierra Nevada United States [PDF]
, 2008 Structural complexity is common at the terminations of earthquake surface ruptures; similar deformation may therefore be expected at the end zones of earthquake ruptures at depth.

Tidal triggering of earthquakes [PDF]
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1975 abstractAnalysis of the tidal stress tensor at the time of moderate to large earthquakes fails to confirm an earlier hypothesis that the origin times of shallow dip-slip earthquakes correlate with solid-earth tidal shear stress. Furthermore, no correlation is seen for either tidal shear stress or tidal normal-to-the-fault compressive stress with ...

Applying the Coulomb Failure Function with an optimally oriented plane to the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggering [PDF]
, 2010 The Coulomb failure function (CFF) quantitatively describes static stress changes in secondary faults near the source fault of an earthquake. CFF can be employed to monitor how static stress transfers and then shed some light on the probability of ...

Long-range, critical-point dynamics in oil field flow rate data [PDF]
, 2006 Earthquake triggering data exhibit long-range spatio-temporal correlations of the power-law form C(l) ∼ l−α and anomalously-slow temporal diffusion of the mean triggering distance of the form: 〈l〉 ∼ tH, with H < 0.5.

Regional variations in the diffusion of triggered seismicity [PDF]
, 2005 We determine the spatiotemporal characteristics of interearthquake triggering in the International Seismological Centre catalogue on regional and global scales. We pose a null hypothesis of spatially clustered, temporally random seismicity, and determine
