A least-squares point-by-point inversion of strong ground motion and teleseismic body
waves is used to infer the fault rupture history of the 1979 Imperial Valley, California …

By comparing synthetic particle velocities with the near‐source strong motion data we have
constructed, by trial and error, a faulting model for the 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake. The …

abstract Using a representation theorem from elastodynamics, subsurface slip on a known
fault is formulated as the solution to an inverse problem in which recorded surface ground …

The temporal behavior of 39 aftershock sequences in southern California, 1933–1988, was
modeled by the modified Omori relation. Minimum magnitudes for completeness of each …

A broadly based report on seismic hazards in southern California (wgcep, 1995) concluded
that the predicted seismicity exceeds that observed since 1850; a subsequent independent …

Event record sections, which are constructed by plotting seismograms from many closely
spaced earthquakes recorded on a few stations, show multiple free-surface reflections (PP …

In recent years, the utilization of time histories of earthquake ground motion has grown
considerably in the design and analysis of civil structures. It is very unlikely, however, that …

Southern California and the northern part of the peninsula of Baja California form a common
region affected by a number of regional-scale active faults, all constituting part of the San …

Episodes of increased seismic moment release around the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field
(CPGF) show a significant correlation with three large increases of sustained fluid extraction …

The Victoria earthquake swarm of 1978 March with magnitudes up to ML= 4.8 occurred near
the northern end of the Cerro Prieto fault in northern Baja California, Mexico. Accurate …
