Suitability of Ground‐Motion Models for Seismic Hazard Assessments in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
We perform linear mixed‐effects analyses with a ground‐motion dataset to evaluate how well ground‐motion models (GMMs) fit active crustal, subduction interface, and subduction intraslab earthquakes in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Most of the GMMs reproduce the spatial variation in peak ground motions with earthquake magnitude and rupture ...

Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

Toward Recognizing the Waveform of Foreshocks

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The identification of seismic precursors remains a fundamental challenge. Foreshocks are often indistinguishable from regular seismic sequences, making it difficult to determine whether they precede a larger rupture.

Spatiotemporal Distribution of the Magnitude of Completeness and b-Values in Mainland China Based on a Fused Multi-Source Earthquake Catalog

open access: yesEntropy
The b-value is a critical parameter for gauging seismic activity and is essential for seismic hazard assessment, monitoring stress evolution in focal zones, and forecasting major earthquakes. The minimum magnitude of completeness (Mc), a key indicator of

Interevent time distribution in seismicity: a theoretical approach

open access: yes, 2004
This paper presents an analysis of the distribution of the time $\tau$ between two consecutive events in a stationary point process. The study is motivated by the discovery of a unified scaling law for $\tau$ for the case of seismic events.

From Warnings to Actions: Factors Influencing Response to Earthquake Early Warning—A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems offer critical seconds for protective actions, yet their effectiveness ultimately depends on human interpretation and response. This article presents a systematic literature review of factors shaping public behavior during earthquakes and in response to EEW alerts.

Flexible Seismicity Modeling With Neural Modulated Renewal Processes

open access: yesEarth's Future
Neural point processes (NPPs) have recently been applied to seismicity modeling, but their theoretical connections to classical point processes models remain elusive.

QuakeML: status of the XML-based seismological data exchange format

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2011
QuakeML is an XML-based data exchange standard for seismology that is in its fourth year of active community-driven development. Its development was motivated by the need to consolidate existing data formats for applications in statistical seismology, as

Nonstationary Stochastic Simulation of Strong Ground-Motion Time Histories : Application to the Japanese Database [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
For earthquake-resistant design, engineering seismologists employ time-history analysis for nonlinear simulations. The nonstationary stochastic method previously developed by Pousse et al. (2006) has been updated.
