Prediction probabilities from foreshocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
When any earthquake occurs, the possibility that it might be a foreshock increases the probability that a larger earthquake will occur nearby within the next few days.

Spatially Consistent Small‐Scale Stress Heterogeneity Revealed by the 2008 Mogul, Nevada, Earthquakes

open access: yesThe Seismic Record, 2023
We compute and analyze stress drops for 4175 earthquakes (M_L 0–5) in the 2008 Mogul, Nevada, swarm–mainshock sequence using a spectral decomposition approach that uses depth‐dependent path corrections.

A model of foreshock occurrence [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 1989
SUMMARY We have constructed a model for the occurrence of foreshocks and foreshock sequences. The foreshocks as well as the main shock are assumed to occur because of the abrupt coalescence of pre-existing cracks. Coalescence occurs if the stress intensity factors at the crack tips exceed a certain critical value.

Validation of ShakeMaps Created From Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Velocities

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Ground velocity observations generated through a time difference of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) phase observables and orbits have been shown to be comparable to seismic recordings without clipping during intense ground motions. Computing GNSS velocities is also computationally scalable and increases the density of ground motion ...

Characteristics of foreshock activity inferred from the JMA earthquake catalog

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2018
We investigated the foreshock activity characteristics using the Japan Meteorological Agency Unified Earthquake Catalog for the last 20 years. Using the nearest-neighbor distance approach, we systematically and objectively classified the earthquakes into

Evolution of Coupled Seismic‐Aseismic Slip During the 2025 Mw 6.8 Sanriku‐Oki, Japan, Megathrust Sequence

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 9 November 2025, a Mw 6.8 Sanriku‐Oki earthquake struck a Japan Trench segment with inferred recurrent aseismic slip and Mw ∼7 earthquakes. Using S‐net seafloor data, we examine the preparatory and post‐mainshock evolution of this foreshock–mainshock–aftershock sequence.

Can foreshocks be discriminated from seismic swarms?

open access: yes, 2023
The largest earthquakes control large part of the energy budget of seismogenic structures which is progressively accumulated in the adjoining volumes meanwhile the fault system is kept locked.

On the Statistical Significance of Foreshock Sequences in Southern California

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Earthquake foreshocks may provide information that is critical to short‐term earthquake forecasting. However, foreshocks are far from ubiquitously observed, which makes the interpretation of ongoing seismic sequences problematic.

Observational Evidence of a Very‐Low‐Frequency Earthquake (Mw 3.8) Leading to an Earthquake (Mw 4.2): Minto Flats Strike‐Slip Fault Zone, Central Alaska

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The physical conditions governing earthquake initiation are largely unknown, particularly in the minutes to seconds preceding rupture. While there is geodetic and seismic evidence of precursory activity in the hours to weeks prior to large earthquakes, the observational evidence immediately preceding the earthquake rupture is limited and ...

Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Modeling the Martian Induced Magnetosphere

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the magnetic field environment around Mars and its response to upstream solar wind conditions provide key insights into the processes driving atmospheric ion escape. To date, global models of Martian induced magnetosphere have been exclusively physics‐based, relying on computationally intensive simulations. For the first time, we
