Detection of repeating earthquakes and their application in characterizing slow fault slip

N Uchida - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019 - Springer
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 …

Repeating earthquakes

N Uchida, R Bürgmann - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Repeating earthquakes, or repeaters, are identical in location and geometry but occur at
different times. They appear to represent recurring seismic energy release from distinct …

Propagation of Slow Slip Leading Up to the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake

A Kato, K Obara, T Igarashi, H Tsuruoka, S Nakagawa… - Science, 2012 - science.org
Many large earthquakes are preceded by one or more foreshocks, but it is unclear how
these foreshocks relate to the nucleation process of the mainshock. On the basis of an …

The geophysics, geology and mechanics of slow fault slip

R Bürgmann - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 - Elsevier
Modern geodetic and seismologic observations describe the behavior of fault slip over a

Slow slip events have become recognized in the last decade as an important mode of fault
slip, and are most widely observed at subduction zones. Many episodes of tectonic tremor …

Scaling of small repeating earthquakes explained by interaction of seismic and aseismic slip in a rate and state fault model

T Chen, N Lapusta - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Because of short recurrence times and known locations, small repeating earthquakes
present a rare predictable opportunity for detailed field observations. They are used to study …

Supershear triggering and cascading fault ruptures of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, earthquake doublet

Temporal changes of shallow seismic velocity around the Karadere-Düzce branch of the north Anatolian fault and strong ground motion

Z Peng, Y Ben-Zion - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2006 - Springer
We analyze temporal variations of seismic velocity along the Karadere-Düzce branch of the
north Anatolian fault using seismograms generated by repeating earthquake clusters in the …

Spurious velocity changes caused by temporal variations in ambient noise frequency content

Z Zhan, VC Tsai, RW Clayton - Geophysical Journal …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Ambient seismic noise cross-correlations are now being used to detect temporal variations
of seismic velocity, which are typically on the order of 0.1 per cent. At this small level …

Systematic analysis of crustal anisotropy along the Karadere—Düzce branch of the North Anatolian fault

Z Peng, Y Ben-Zion - Geophysical Journal International, 2004 - academic.oup.com
We perform a systematic analysis of crustal anisotropy along and around the Karadere—
Düzce branch of the North Anatolian fault (NAF), which ruptured during the 1999 Mw 7.4 …
