ABSTRACT Asuka village in Nara prefecture has been designated as one of the special preservation areas for historic landscape since 1960s and is well‐known for its richness in historic remains originated from Asuka period. This paper focuses on rural house compounds from six different village sections. Village sections located within the plain area are

Automatic Earthquake Declustering Using the Nearest‐Neighbor Distance
Abstract In the widely adopted description of seismic occurrence, earthquakes are categorized as either background or triggered events. In this work, we present a fully automated, non‐parametric algorithm for distinguishing between these two categories, a process known as seismic declustering, based on the widely used nearest‐neighbor (NN) metric.

b-Values Observations in Taiwan: A Review
High seismicity with spatial heterogeneity in Taiwan makes this region one of the best natural laboratories for seismological researches. Numerous seismicity studies, including the b-value, have been performed for more than one century.

Earthquake triggering by seismic waves has been recognized as a phenomenon for nearly 30 years. However, our ability to study dynamic triggering has been limited by our ability to capture the triggering stresses accurately and record the resultant ...

Stress spatial distributions, the Gutenberg–Richter and Omori–Utsu laws
Abstract We investigate several earthquake models in one and two dimensions of space and analyze in these models the stress spatial distribution. We show that the statistical properties of stress distribution are responsible for the distribution of earthquake magnitudes, as described by the Gutenberg–Richter (GR) law.

Omori-Utsu Law c-Values Associated with Recent Moderate Earthquakes in Japan
We investigate the early aftershock activity associated with four moderate earthquakes ( M w 6.6–6.7) that occurred recently in Japan. For each aftershock sequence, we examine continuous high-pass filtered seismograms recorded at seismic stations nearby the main fault to identify as many early events as possible.

Abstract Establishing a quantitative framework to evaluate the spatiotemporal patterns of slow earthquakes and to detect their anomalous activities is essential for understanding diverse slip behaviors on plate boundaries and seismic hazard assessment. In this study, we focus on deep tectonic tremors, which are one manifestation of slow earthquakes and

Dependence of the Omori‐Utsu law parameters on main shock magnitude: Observations and modeling [PDF]
We examine the dependence on main shock magnitudemof thepandχparameters appearing in Omori‐Utsu formulaλ(t,m) =χ× (t+c)−prelating the rate of aftershocksλat timetafter a main shock. Observations point out to a significant increase ofpwithm, along with a scaling relationship of the formχ∼ 10αm.

Abstract Numerical and laboratory models of earthquake cycles on faults governed by rate‐and‐state friction often show cycle‐invariant behavior, while natural faults exhibit considerable variability in slip history. Possible explanations include heterogeneities in fault stress and frictional properties. We investigate how various types of heterogeneity
