Ice, snow, and liquid water on the surface of the Earth exert downward force onto the solid
earth and deform the lithosphere typically in seasonal timescale. Space techniques, such as …

Large earthquakes within stable continental regions (SCR) show that significant amounts of
elastic strain can be released on geological structures far from plate boundary faults, where …

Injecting fluids in the crust, or their extraction, changes pore pressure and poroelastic
stresses. Both pressure and stress changes can promote seismicity and, hence, the seismic …

Groundwater use in California's San Joaquin Valley exceeds replenishment of the aquifer,
leading to substantial diminution of this resource,,, and rapid subsidence of the valley floor …

Establishing what controls the timing of earthquakes is fundamental to understanding the
nature of the earthquake cycle and critical to determining time-dependent earthquake …

One way to probe earthquake nucleation processes and the relation between stress buildup
and seismicity is to analyze the sensitivity of seismicity to stress perturbations. Here, we …

Coseismic static stress changes and dynamic stresses generated by seismic waves cause
changes in water level in wells and in stream flow and alter hydrogeologic properties such …

Earthquake initiation, propagation and arrest are influenced by fault frictional properties, and
preseismic stress,. Studies of triggered and induced seismicity,, can provide unique insights …

Groundwater recharge at Mt. Hood, Oregon, is dominated by spring snow melt which
provides a natural large-amplitude and narrow-width pore-fluid pressure signal. Time delays …

Both aseismic and seismic slip accommodate relative motion across partially coupled plate-
boundary faults. In northeastern Japan, aseismic slip occurs in the form of decelerating …
