Resolution and uncertainties in estimates of earthquake stress drop and energy release

RE Abercrombie - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
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 …

Large earthquakes and cree** faults

RA Harris - Reviews of Geophysics, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Faults are ubiquitous throughout the Earth's crust. The majority are silent for decades to
centuries, until they suddenly rupture and produce earthquakes. With a focus on shallow …

Global variations of stress drop for moderate to large earthquakes

BP Allmann, PM Shearer - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

F Brenguier, M Campillo, C Hadziioannou, NM Shapiro… - science, 2008 - science.org
Seismic velocity changes and nonvolcanic tremor activity in the Parkfield area in California
reveal that large earthquakes induce long-term perturbations of crustal properties in the San …

Recent and future developments in earthquake ground motion estimation

J Douglas, B Edwards - Earth-Science Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
Seismic hazard analyses (SHA) are routinely carried out around the world to understand the

Stress drops of induced and tectonic earthquakes in the central United States are indistinguishable

Y Huang, WL Ellsworth, GC Beroza - Science advances, 2017 - science.org
Induced earthquakes currently pose a significant hazard in the central United States, but

hydraulic stimulation in crystalline rock for a deep heat mining project in Basel, Switzerland …

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 …
