Forecasting and early warning systems are important investments to protect lives, properties,
and livelihood. While early warning systems are frequently used to predict the magnitude …

Global warming, extreme climate events, earthquakes and their accompanying
socioeconomic disasters pose significant risks to humanity. Yet due to the nonlinear …

While deterministically predicting the time and location of earthquakes remains impossible,
earthquake forecasting models can provide estimates of the probabilities of earthquakes …

Seismic hazard modeling is a multidisciplinary science that aims to forecast earthquake
occurrence and its resultant ground shaking. Such models consist of a probabilistic …

The b value is a critical parameter that has been used to describe spatial and temporal size
distribution characteristics in data from both natural seismicity and laboratory rock acoustic …

A systematic decay of the aftershock rate over time is one of the most fundamental empirical
laws in Earth science. However, the equally fundamental effect of a mainshock on the size …

Abstract The 2016–2017 Central Apennines earthquake sequence is a recent example of
how damages from subsequent aftershocks can exceed those caused by the initial …

Monitoring slow-moving landslides is a crucial task for socioeconomic risk prevention and/or
mitigation. Persistent scatterer interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PS-InSAR) is an …

Unraveling the precursory signals of potentially destructive earthquakes is crucial to
understand the Earth's crust dynamics and to provide reliable seismic warnings. Earthquake …

In 2009, the global Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP) launched
three experiments to forecast the distribution of earthquakes in Italy in the subsequent 5 yrs …
