While deterministically predicting the time and location of earthquakes remains impossible,
earthquake forecasting models can provide estimates of the probabilities of earthquakes …

The estimation of the b-value of the Gutenberg-Richter Law and its uncertainty is crucial in
seismic hazard studies, as well as in verifying theoretical assertions, such as, for example …

Immediately after a large earthquake, the main question asked by the public and decision-
makers is whether it was the mainshock or a foreshock to an even stronger event yet to …

川滇交界东段NE 向昭通, 莲峰断裂带的研究程度较低. 为了了解该断裂带是否存在发生强震/大
地震的危险背景, 我们基于区域活动构造与动力学, 重新定位的小震分布和震源机制解 …

龙门山断裂带可分为南段, 中段和北段, 2008 年汶川M8. 0 级地震发生在该断裂带中-北段.
龙门山断裂带南段是否存在发生强震的危险性倍受关注. 利用1977-2012 年四川区域地震台网 …

Surface roughness ubiquitously prevails in natural faults across various length scales.
Despite extensive studies highlighting the important role of fault geometry in the dynamics of …

Laboratory experiments have shown that the b value in the size distribution of acoustic
emission events decreases linearly with differential stress. There have been a number of …

Wastewater disposal in the central US is likely responsible for an unprecedented surge in
earthquake activity. Much of this activity is thought to be driven by induced pore pressure …

We mapped the minimum magnitude of complete reporting, M c, for Alaska, the western
United States, and for the JUNEC earthquake catalog of Japan. M c was estimated based on …

Earthquake catalogs are probably the most fundamental products of seismology and remain
arguably the most useful for tectonic studies. Modern seismograph networks can locate up to …
