Machine learning predicts laboratory earthquakes

B Rouet‐Leduc, C Hulbert, N Lubbers… - Geophysical …, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library
We apply machine learning to data sets from shear laboratory experiments, with the goal of
identifying hidden signals that precede earthquakes. Here we show that by listening to the …

The precursory phase of large earthquakes

Q Bletery, JM Nocquet - Science, 2023‏ - science.org
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 …

[كتاب][B] The mechanics of earthquakes and faulting

CH Scholz - 2019‏ - books.google.com
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 …

Mechanisms and implications of deep earthquakes

Z Zhan - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020‏ - annualreviews.org
Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

Months-long thousand-kilometre-scale wobbling before great subduction earthquakes

JR Bedford, M Moreno, Z Deng, O Oncken, B Schurr… - Nature, 2020‏ - nature.com
Megathrust earthquakes are responsible for some of the most devastating natural disasters.
To better understand the physical mechanisms of earthquake generation, subduction zones …

Estimating fault friction from seismic signals in the laboratory

B Rouet‐Leduc, C Hulbert, DC Bolton… - Geophysical …, 2018‏ - Wiley Online Library
Nearly all aspects of earthquake rupture are controlled by the friction along the fault that
progressively increases with tectonic forcing but in general cannot be directly measured. We …

Megathrust and accretionary wedge properties and behaviour in the Makran subduction zone

C Penney, F Tavakoli, A Saadat… - Geophysical Journal …, 2017‏ - academic.oup.com
We study the Makran subduction zone, along the southern coasts of Iran and Pakistan, to
gain insights into the kinematics and dynamics of accretionary prism deformation. By …
