Systematic biases in subduction zone hypocenters [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2009
Earthquake hypocenters from global datasets commonly have regional biases in their locations due to the use of a one‐dimensional velocity model in their location. To analyze this effect, we group intermediate‐depth earthquakes into forty‐four 500‐km‐long sections of subduction zone. We relocate earthquakes in each group relative to one another and in a

Generation of infrasonic signals during earthquakes under Lake Hovsgool (Northern Mongolia) on December 5, 2014

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2018
The paper discusses the results of the detection of seismic and infrasonic waves generated by a major earthquake and its aftershock (the moment magnitude MW=4.9 and MW=4.2 respectively), which occurred in northern Mongolia under Lake Hovsgool on December

Modeling of residual spheres for subduction zone earthquakes: 1. Apparent slab penetration signatures in the NW Pacific caused by deep diffuse mantle anomalies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
We have computed focal residual spheres for 145 subduction zone earthquakes along the northwest edge of the Pacific using regional and global mantle velocity models from tomographic inversions.

Comparison of Seismic Performance Assessment Using Observed or Simulated Ground Motions in Seismic Hazard Analysis and Ground Motion Selection

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

Re-Analysis of HFT Data Using the Apollo Lunar Surface Gravimeter Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Introduction: The Apollo Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE) was carried out on Apollo 12, 14, 15 and 16. Network observations of four seismic stations were performed for five years from 1972 to 1977. The PSE was a successful mission that informed us of the

Double-difference Relocation of the Aftershocks of the Tecomán, Colima, Mexico Earthquake of 22 January 2003 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
On 22 January 2003, the M_w = 7.6 Tecomán earthquake struck offshore of the state of Colima, Mexico, near the diffuse triple junction between the Cocos, Rivera, and North American plates. Three-hundred and fifty aftershocks of the Tecomán earthquake with

Linking Stress Drop and Slip Heterogeneity to Assess Source Rupture Directivity for Earthquakes in Central Italy

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 163-172, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the relationship between Brune stress drop and fault slip where the stress drop is estimated using the Empirical Green's Function (EGF) method and slip distribution is derived from seismic and geodetic data inversion.

ANOMALOUS ERRORS IN DETERMINING FOCUS COORDINATES EARTHQUAKES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THEIR ELIMINATION

open access: yesВестник Дагестанского государственного технического университета: Технические науки, 2019
Objectives The aim of the study is to develop a method for estimating the speed of seismic waves in different directions of propagation and by taking into account the dimensions of the focus, reducing the error in determining the coordinates of the ...

GPS source solution of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We compute a series of finite-source parameter inversions of the fault rupture of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake based on 1 Hz GPS records only. We confirm that some of the co-seismic slip at shallow depth (

Displacement Above the Hypocenter of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2011
The Quake That Rocked Japan The 11 March 2011 magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Oki megathrust earthquake just off the Eastern coast of Japan was one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history. Japan's considerable investment in seismic and geodetic networks allowed for the collection of rapid and reliable data on the mechanics of the ...
