Do Large Earthquakes Occur at Regular Intervals Through Time? A Perspective From the Geologic Record
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 We analyzed a catalog of 31 published earthquake chronologies to assess the commonality of quasiperiodic earthquake recurrence across a range of fault types and tectonic settings.

Rupture Depth-Varying Seismicity Patterns for Major and Great (M_W ≥ 7.0) Megathrust Earthquakes [PDF]
, 2017 Large earthquakes on subduction zone plate boundary megathrusts result from intervals of strain accumulation and release. The mechanism diversity and spatial distribution of moderate-size aftershocks is influenced by the mainshock rupture depth extent ...

Persistent Deep Long‐Period Seismicity Near the Lassen Volcanic Center
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.Abstract Deep long‐period (DLP) earthquakes have been observed at many volcanic settings around the world and linked to the magmatic processes that drive volcanic unrest. At the Lassen Volcanic Center (LVC) of the Cascade arc, limited detection of DLP activity hinders classification of anomalous seismic behavior and its relationship to the LVC magmatic

The Kobe (Hyogo-ken Nanbu), Japan, Earthquake of January 16, 1995 [PDF]
, 1995 The Kobe earthquake of January 16, 1995, is one of the most damaging earthquakes in the recent history of Japan. This earthquake is also called “The Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Southern part of Hyogo prefecture) earthquake,” and the disaster caused by it is ...

Toward Reconstructing Mantle Convection Using a Minimum‐Continent‐Motion Reference Frame
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Studying geodynamic processes at the plate‐mantle interface requires knowledge of how plates move over and subduct into the mantle. The absolute motion of plates relative to the mantle since ∼120 Ma is classically estimated using hotspot tracks.

A study of tectonic activity in the Basin-Range Province and on the San Andreas Fault. No. 1: Kinematics of Basin-Range intraplate extension [PDF]
Strain rates assessed from brittle fracture and total brittle-ductile deformation measured from geodetic data were compared to estimates of paleo-strain from Quaternary geology for the intraplate Great Basin part of the Basin-Range, western United States.

, 2002 This chapter provides an overview of the macroseismic effects of the Bhuj earthquake. Such information is useful for several reasons. First, direct information about the vulnerability of structures to strong ground motion is useful for assessing, and ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Large subduction earthquakes often occur along the Ecuadorian margin. Following the 2016 Pedernales megathrust earthquake (Mw 7.8), a temporary network of 82 stations recorded its aftershocks. Data from this international response and the permanent network run by IG‐EPN showed that subducted seafloor topography, accreted terranes, and ...

A seismic risk for the lunar base [PDF]
Shallow moonquakes, which were discovered during observations following the Apollo lunar landing missions, may pose a threat to lunar surface operations.

The tailings dam failure of 5 November 2015 in SE Brazil and its preceding seismic sequence [PDF]
, 2016 The collapse of a mine tailings dam and subsequent flood in SE Brazil on 5 November 2015 was preceded by a small-magnitude seismic sequence. In this report, we explore the spatiotemporal associations between the seismic events and the accident and ...
