Abstract Recent earthquakes in Chile, 2014, Mw 8.2 Iquique, 2015, Mw 8.3 Illapel and 2016,
Mw 7.6 Chiloé have put in evidence some problems with the straightforward application of …

This paper reviews laboratory observations of earthquake initiation and describes new
experiments on a 3‐m rock sample where the nucleation process is imaged in detail. Many …

The existence of an observable precursory phase of slip on the fault before large
earthquakes has been debated for decades. Although observations preceding several large …

Earthquake precursory processes have been central to scientific inquiry for nearly a century.
Recent advancements in earthquake monitoring, geodesy, and data analysis including …

An M w 6.2 earthquake occurred in Suzu, northeastern Noto Peninsula, Japan, on 5 May
2023, followed by many aftershocks. Before this mainshock‐aftershock sequence, an …

Source locations provide fundamental information on earthquakes and lay the foundation for
seismic monitoring at all scales. Seismic source location as a classical inverse problem has …

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

Earthquake swarms may be driven by fluids, through hydraulic injections or natural fluid
circulation, but also by slow and aseismic slip transients. Understanding the driving factors …

Repeating earthquakes (repeaters) that rupture the same fault area (patch) are interpreted to
be caused by repeated accumulation and release of stress on the seismic patch in a …

Abstract The 2021 Mw 6.1 Yangbi earthquake in southwest China is preceded by three
major foreshocks: 05/18 Mw 4.3, 05/19 Mw 4.6, and 05/21 Mw 5.2. It provides a valuable …
