Spontaneous complexity in the dynamics of slow laboratory earthquakes.

Nature Communications
Rock deformation experiments play a key role in our understanding of earthquake physics and friction constitutive laws. These laws commonly describe the response of analogue laboratory faults as a simple and homogeneous system, without accounting for the spatial-temporal evolution of structures in the sample.

Effects of Near‐Fault Sedimentary Rocks and Damage on the 2019 Ridgecrest, CA Earthquake: A Rupture Impediment or a Ground Motion Booster?

Geophysical Research Letters
Observations of the 2019 magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest, California, earthquake indicate a relatively slow rupture (∼2 km/s). The fault is surrounded by sedimentary rocks and low‐velocity damage zones, which can amplify ground motions but also slow down ...

The role of epsilon for the identification of groups of earthquake inputs of given hazard

, 2008
Response spectra have been used in the years not only to obtain estimations of the seismic response for given dynamic system in response spectral analysis, but also as a useful reference for the identification of design time-history inputs (when time ...

Estimating Consumer Valuation of Earthquake Risk: Evidence from Japanese Housing Markets [PDF]

The relationships between seismic risk and rental and owner- occupied housing prices in the whole of Japan are examined. The empirical results from hedonic regressions with earthquake risk indices suggest that: (1) earthquake occurrence probability has a

Data assimilation for fault slip monitoring and short-term prediction of spatio-temporal evolution of slow slip events: application to the 2010 long-term slow slip event in the Bungo Channel, Japan

Earth, Planets and Space
Monitoring and predicting fault slip behaviors in subduction zones is essential for understanding earthquake cycles and assessing future earthquake potential. We developed a data assimilation method for fault slip monitoring and the short-term prediction

Similarities and Differences Between Natural and Simulated Slow Earthquakes

Geophysical Research Letters
We investigate similarities and differences between natural and simulated slow earthquakes using nonlinear dynamical system tools. We use spatio‐temporal slip potency rate data derived from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position time series ...

The 2010 Chile Earthquake: a five-year reflection

, 2015
At 3:34AM local time, on February 27th, 2010, a moment magnitude Mw 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck offshore the coast of Chile. The earthquake ruptured a 540 by 200 km mature seismic gap of the underlying subduction pacific plate interlocking mechanism.

Comparative Analysis of Seismicity Across Three Depth‐Dependent Slip Regimes in the Japan Trench Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters
Understanding the cause of spatial variations in seismicity is crucial for comprehending the physics governing earthquake activity. Off Iwate, in the northern Japan Trench subduction zone, the plate boundary can be divided into three distinct zones based
