Testing the forecasting skills of aftershock models using a Bayesian framework

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023
The Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model and the modified Omori law (MOL) are two aftershock rate models that are used for operational earthquake/aftershock forecasting.

Theory of Earthquake Recurrence Times [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The statistics of recurrence times in broad areas have been reported to obey universal scaling laws, both for single homogeneous regions (Corral, 2003) and when averaged over multiple regions (Bak et al.,2002).

The hidden discount: Examining racial disparity in the use of suspended sentences

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant research on criminal sentencing generally concludes that racial/ethnic disparity is concentrated in the “in–out” decision, and that racial differences in sentence lengths are small and inconsistent. However, sentence length analyses rarely focus on the fact that criminal sentences are often partially or fully suspended, creating ...

Investigation of the Factors Controlling the Duration and Productivity of Aftershocks Following Strong Earthquakes in Greece

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
Strong crustal earthquakes in Greece are typically followed by aftershocks, the properties of which are important factors in seismic hazard assessment.

Simulation study of the inhomogeneous Olami-Feder-Christensen model of earthquakes

open access: yes, 2010
Statistical properties of the inhomogeneous version of the Olami-Feder-Christensen (OFC) model of earthquakes is investigated by numerical simulations. The spatial inhomogeneity is assumed to be dynamical.

A rate-state model for aftershocks triggered by dislocation on a rectangular fault: a review and new insights

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2006
We compute the static displacement, stress, strain and the Coulomb failure stress produced in an elastic medium by a finite size rectangular fault after its dislocation with uniform stress drop but a non uniform dislocation on the source.

Universality in solar flare and earthquake occurrence

open access: yes, 2006
Earthquakes and solar flares are phenomena involving huge and rapid releases of energy characterized by complex temporal occurrence. By analysing available experimental catalogs, we show that the stochastic processes underlying these apparently different

Are Aftershocks of Large Californian Earthquakes Diffusing? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We analyze 21 aftershock sequences of California to test for evidence of space-time diffusion. Aftershock diffusion may result from stress diffusion and is also predicted by any mechanism of stress weakening.

Whose decision is it anyway? Defendants’ prior experience shapes prosecutorial case dismissal

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of early case processing outcomes in the United States typically assume that decisions are made unilaterally by the prosecutor, such that prior contact with the legal system is universally associated with harsher outcomes for defendants.

Some characteristics of foreshocks and aftershocks of the 2022 ML6.8 Chihshang, Taiwan, earthquake sequence

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Foreshocks and aftershocks occurred before and after the ML6.8 (Mw7.0) earthquake in eastern Taiwan on 18 September 2022. We explore the epicentral distribution and temporal variations for the mainshock, foreshocks, and aftershocks.
