Hypocenter for the 1979 Imperial Valley Earthquake
Using P‐and S‐wave arrival times with the laterally varying P‐wave velocity structure derived from analysis of a refraction survey of the Imperial Valley, a hypocenter is ascertained for the October 15, 1979, Imperial Valley earthquake:Latitude 32° 39.50′N,Longitude 115° 19.80′W,Depth 8.0 km,Time 23:16:54.40 GMT.

Numerical investigation of dilatancy biasing of hypocenter locations
We assume that a dilatant zone which develops as a precursor to an earthquake may be modeled by a zone of low‐velocity rock having the shape of a triaxial ellipsoid. For varying ellipsoid dimensions, velocity contrasts, and hypocenter distributions, we generate a synthetic data set of arrival times at surface stations.

Geodetic Observations of Weak Determinism in Rupture Evolution of Large Earthquakes. [PDF]
The moment evolution of large earthquakes is a subject of fundamental interest to both basic and applied seismology. Specifically, an open problem is when in the rupture process a large earthquake exhibits features dissimilar from those of a lesser ...

The authors have retracted this article [1] because after its publication, they noticed that the source inversion was not done with the intended setting. Although it was mentioned in this article [1] that the rupture starting point of the fault model was

An approach for teleseismic location by automatically matching depth phase
To deal with the low efficiency problem of accurate teleseismic hypocenter location, this paper proposes a fully automatic approach by integrating the advantages of Seismic-Scanning based on Navigated Automatic Phase-picking, which can automatically ...

Local and regional minimum 1D models for earthquake location and data quality assessment in complex tectonic regions: application to Switzerland [PDF]
One-dimensional (1D) velocity models are still widely used for computing earthquake locations at seismological centers or in regions where three-dimensional (3D) velocity models are not available due to the lack of data of sufficiently high quality.

Source Mechanism and Rupture Directivity of the 18 May 2009 M_W 4.6 Inglewood, California, Earthquake [PDF]
On 18 May 2009, an M_w 4.6 earthquake occurred beneath Inglewood, California, and was widely felt. Though source mechanism and its location suggest that the Newport–Inglewood fault (NIF) may be involved in generating the earthquake, rupture directivity ...
