Our models and understanding of the dynamics of earthquake rupture are based largely on
estimates of earthquake source parameters, such as stress drop and radiated seismic …

The ability of fluid-generated subsurface stress changes to trigger earthquakes has long
been recognized. However, the dramatic rise in the rate of human-induced earthquakes in …

Abstract Analysis of numerous case histories of earthquake sequences induced by fluid
injection at depth reveals that the maximum magnitude appears to be limited according to …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Microseismic monitoring is the key technology to image hydraulic fractures. With the recent
industry focus on unconventional resources and the associated need for effective hydraulic …

Earthquakes occur as a result of global plate motion. However, this simple picture is far from
complete. Some plate boundaries glide past each other smoothly, while others are …

We investigate the global variation of earthquake stress drops using spectra of about 2000
events of mb≥ 5.5 between 1990 and 2007. We use an iterative least squares method to …

The InSight mission has measured the seismicity of Mars since February 2019 and has
enabled the investigation of tectonics on the surface of another planet for the first time. Its …

The Kobe earthquake struck at the edge of the densely populated Osaka‐Kyoto corridor in
southwest Japan. We investigate how the earthquake transferred stress to nearby faults …

The purpose of this book is to get a practical understanding of the most common processing
techniques in earthquake seismology. The book deals with manual methods and computer …
