Rupture process of the recent large Sumatra earthquakes: 26/12/2004 (Mw=9.3) and 28/03/2005 (Mw=8.6) [PDF]
The Sumatra mega-earthquake with magnitude 9.3 of 26 December 2004 was the strongest earthquake in the world since the 1964 Alaska earthquake and the fourth since 1900.

Structural heterogeneity in the megathrust zone and mechanism of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake (Mw 9.0) [PDF]
The great 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake (Mw 9.0) and its 339 foreshocks and 5,609 aftershocks (9–27 March 2011) were relocated using a three-dimensional seismic velocity model and local P and S wave arrival times.

Abstract Constructing reliable earthquake catalogs in regions with sparse station coverage and strong noise remains challenging. We evaluate the performance of a deep‐learning–based detection and location workflow (LOC‐FLOW) using the 2017 Changdao offshore earthquake swarm in eastern China.

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 ...

Slip distribution and tectonic implication of the 1999 Chi‐Chi, Taiwan, Earthquake [PDF]
We report on the fault complexity of the large (M_w = 7.6) Chi‐Chi earthquake obtained by inverting densely and well‐distributed static measurements consisting of 119 GPS and 23 doubly integrated strong motion records.

Abstract Intermediate‐depth intraslab earthquakes in the Philippine Sea Plate occur at depths of 100–200 km beneath the Ryukyu Arc and are widely interpreted as manifestations of slab dehydration; however, the spatial variability in continuity of the volcanic front and the asymmetric distribution of volcanic activity are poorly explained by existing ...

The New Algorithm for Fast Probabilistic Hypocenter Locations [PDF]
The spatial location of sources of seismic waves is one of the first tasks when transient waves from natural (uncontrolled) sources are analysed in many branches of physics, including seismology, oceanology, to name a few. It is well recognised that there is no single universal location algorithm which performs equally well in all situations.

Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.

Limiting the effects of earthquakes on gravitational-wave interferometers
Ground-based gravitational wave interferometers such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) are susceptible to high-magnitude teleseismic events, which can interrupt their operation in science mode and significantly reduce the ...
