Part I. Slip Behavior of the San Andreas Fault Through Several Earthquake Cycles Part II. A Structural Interpretation of the Aftershock "Cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Part 1 of this thesis addresses the question of how variable fault slip per event is through time. This question is important, because progress in understanding and forecasting large earthquakes depends critically on precise reconstruction of the ...

Pervasive Foreshock Activity Across Southern California

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
Foreshocks have been documented as preceding less than half of all mainshock earthquakes. These observations are difficult to reconcile with laboratory earthquake experiments and theoretical models of earthquake nucleation, which both suggest that ...

Tectonic tremors in the Northern Mexican subduction zone remotely triggered by the 2017 M w8.2 Tehuantepec earthquake

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2021
Surface waves from the 2017 M w8.2 Tehuantepec earthquake remotely triggered tectonic tremors in the Jalisco region, approximately 1000 km WNW in the northern Mexican subduction zone.

Earthquakes of the Nepal Himalaya : Towards a Physical Model of the Seismic Cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Home to hundreds of millions of souls and land of excessiveness, the Himalaya is also the locus of a unique seismicity whose scope and peculiarities still remain to this day somewhat mysterious.

Surface ruptures and building damage of the 2003 Bam, Iran earthquake mapped by satellite synthetic apeerture radar interferometric correlation [PDF]

open access: yes
We use the interferometric correlation from Envisat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to map the details of the surface ruptures related to the 26 December 2003 earthquake that devastated Bam, Iran.

Structural Damage Evaluation: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The further development of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) is on the current agenda of the earthquake engineering community. A part of assessing the seismic performance of civil engineering structures involves estimation of seismic damage.

Crustal P-wave Velocity Structure and Seismogenic Mechanism Constraints in the Kamchatka 2025 MW8.8 Earthquake

open access: yesCT Lilun yu yingyong yanjiu
An intra-crustal MW8.8 strong earthquake occurred off the eastern coast of Kamchatka, triggering a tsunami and attracting global attention. Some researchers have analyzed the mechanical mechanism of this strong earthquake from the stress field.

Advances in the spatiotemporal characteristics and mechanisms of earthquake static and dynamic triggering

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评
The static and dynamic stress changes induced by earthquakes can further trigger seismic events on surrounding or even remote faults. This phenomenon, known as static and dynamic triggering of earthquakes, has significant implications for earthquake ...
