We provide an overview of the basic models of the aftershock processes and advanced
methods used to predict postseismic hazard. We consider both the physical mechanisms for …

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 …

Deterministic earthquake prediction remains elusive, but time‐dependent probabilistic
seismicity forecasting seems within reach thanks to the development of physics‐based …

The increasing density of geodetic measurements makes it possible to map surface strain
rate in many zones of active tectonics with unprecedented spatial resolution. Here we show …

Swarms are bursts of earthquakes without an obvious mainshock. Some have been
observed to be associated with transient aseismic fault slip, while others are thought to be …

Induced seismicity observed during Enhanced Geothermal Stimulation at Otaniemi, Finland
is modeled using both statistical and physical approaches. The physical model produces …

Aftershock cascades are a characteristic feature of natural seismicity, but underlying
mechanisms remain debated. Here, we experimentally explore the presence or absence of …

We implement a Coulomb rate‐and‐state approach to explore the nonlinear relation
between stressing rate and seismicity rate in the Groningen gas field. Coulomb stress rates …

Operational earthquake forecasting protocols commonly use statistical models for their
recognized ease of implementation and robustness in describing the short‐term …

The frictional properties of faults control the initiation and propagation of earthquakes and
the associated hazards. Although the ambient temperature and instantaneous slip velocity …
