Aftershocks are a response to changes in stress generated by large earthquakes and
represent the most common observations of the triggering of earthquakes. The maximum …

We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W⁠, rupture length L⁠, rupture
area A⁠, and average slip D⁠, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

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 …

A simple, yet effective, analytical model is proposed for the representation of near-field
strong ground motions. The model adequately describes the impulsive character of near …

Abstract<? A3B2 twb=. 3w?> This paper describes refinements to the hybrid broadband
ground-motion simulation methodology of, which combines a deterministic approach at low …

This contribution to the Electronic Seismologist presents the online SRCMOD database of
finite-fault rupture models for past earthquakes, accessible at http://equake‑rc. info/srcmod …

Seismic shear-wave velocity as a function of depth for generic rock sites has been estimated
from borehole data and studies of crustal velocities, and these velocities have been used to …

For ten earthquakes in nonmagmatic settings, there are credible published accounts of pre-
earthquake deformation-rate changes lasting hundreds of seconds to more than a decade …

Finite‐fault source inversions reveal the spatial complexity of earthquake slip over the fault
plane. We develop a stochastic characterization of earthquake slip complexity, based on …

The duration of strong ground shaking during earthquakes can play an important rôle in the
response of foundation materials and structures, particularly when strength or stiffness …
