Magnitude-Dependent Omori Law: Empirical Study and Theory

open access: yes, 2004
We propose a new physically-based ``multifractal stress activation'' model of earthquake interaction and triggering based on two simple ingredients: (i) a seismic rupture results from activated processes giving an exponential dependence on the local ...

Study on the mechanism of mining-induced seismicity triggered by fracture of hard and extremely thick rock stratum: a case study

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The control of mining-induced seismicity caused by hard and extremely thick rock stratum (HETRS) has become an important topic in more and more coal mines.

On the Correct Use of Statistical Tests: Reply to "Lies, damned lies and statistics (in Geology)"

open access: yes, 2011
In a Forum published in EOS Transactions AGU (2009) entitled "Lies, damned lies and statistics (in Geology)", Vermeesch (2009) claims that "statistical significant is not the same as geological significant", in other words, statistical tests may be ...

Induced seismicity. Final report [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The objective of this project has been to develop a fundamental understanding of seismicity associated with energy production. Earthquakes are known to be associated with oil, gas, and geothermal energy production. The intent is to develop physical models that predict when seismicity is likely to occur, and to determine to what extent these earthquakes

Seismicity and development of Romashkino hydrocarbon field’s Almetyevskaya area

open access: yesGeoresursy
The relationship between the various human activities and seismic activity has become more evident in the last several decades. One of the important domains where such a relationship manifests itself is hydrocarbon fields’ development.

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present a source model for the 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake of northwest India. The slip distribution suggests a high stress drop (~35 MPa) and, together with the depth distribution of aftershocks, that the entire crust is seismogenic. We suggest that
