Despite decades of observational, laboratory and theoretical studies, the processes leading
to large earthquake generation remain enigmatic. However, recent observations provide …

Natural earthquakes often have very few observable foreshocks which significantly
complicates tracking potential preparatory processes. To better characterize expected …

We discuss data of three laboratory stick‐slip experiments on Westerly Granite samples
performed at elevated confining pressure and constant displacement rate on rough fracture …

Rock failure under shear loading conditions controls earthquake and faulting phenomena.
We study the dynamics of microscale damage precursory to shear faulting in a quartz …

Microscale heterogeneities influence failure mechanisms in the crust. To track the
microstructural changes in rock samples when loaded until failure, we employed a novel …

We conduct a detailed study of the foreshock sequence preceding the 2010 Mw 6.7 Yushu,
Qinghai earthquake in the Tibetan plateau by examining continuous waveforms recorded at …

We perform a comprehensive detection of early aftershocks following the 2013 Mw 6.6
Lushan earthquake, which occurred in the southern Longmenshan Fault Zone in Sichuan …

Foreshocks can provide valuable information about possible nucleation process of a
mainshock. However, their physical mechanisms are still under debate. In this study, we …

We apply a waveform matching technique to obtain a detailed earthquake catalog around
the rupture zone of the 5 September 2012 moment magnitude 7.6 Nicoya earthquake, with …

Abstract The 2011 Mw 5.7 Virginia earthquake and subsequent dense deployment provide
us an unprecedented opportunity to study in detail an earthquake sequence within stable …
