Forecasting the Largest Expected Earthquake in Canadian Seismogenic Zones [PDF]
EntropySignificant earthquakes can cause widespread infrastructure damage, social implications, and substantial economic losses. To mitigate these impacts, earthquake forecasting models have been developed to estimate earthquake occurrences and improve recovery

Large megathrust earthquakes in cold mantle wedge corners under lawsonite blueschist facies [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsGiant megathrust earthquakes typically occur above the upper-plate Moho or the 350°C isotherm in warm subduction zones. However, large earthquakes also occur within the mantle wedge corner at 35-55 km depth at cold subduction zones, such as the Kermadec,

Ground motion prediction from nearest seismogenic zones in and around Greater Cairo Area, Egypt [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 This paper reviews the likely source characteristics, focal source mechanism and fault patterns of the nearest effective seismogenic zones to Greater Cairo Area. Furthermore, <i>M</i><sub>max</sub> and ground accelerations related

Silica precipitation potentially controls earthquake recurrence in seismogenic zones. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractSilica precipitation is assumed to play a significant role in post-earthquake recovery of the mechanical and hydrological properties of seismogenic zones. However, the relationship between the widespread quartz veins around seismogenic zones and earthquake recurrence is poorly understood.

A pressure solution flow law for the seismogenic zone: Application to Cascadia. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2023 We develop a linear viscous constitutive relationship for pressure solution constrained by models of deformed metasedimentary rocks and observations of exposed rocks from ancient subduction zones. We include pressure and temperature dependence on the solubility of silica in fluid by parameterizing a practical van’t Hoff relationship.

Seismogenic Structures in Subduction Zones
Surveys in GeophysicsAbstract Recent studies of high-resolution seismic tomography of source zones of large crustal earthquakes, megathrust earthquakes, and intraslab earthquakes are reviewed, which shed new light on seismogenic structures and fluids in subduction zones.
