From geodetic imaging of seismic and aseismic fault slip to dynamic modeling of the seismic cycle

JP Avouac - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

Earthquake triggering by static, dynamic, and postseismic stress transfer

AM Freed - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2005 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Earthquake triggering is the process by which stress changes associated with an
earthquake can induce or retard seismic activity in the surrounding region or trigger other …

Stress triggering in thrust and subduction earthquakes and stress interaction between the southern San Andreas and nearby thrust and strike‐slip faults

J Lin, RS Stein - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
We argue that key features of thrust earthquake triggering, inhibition, and clustering can be
explained by Coulomb stress changes, which we illustrate by a suite of representative …

Forecasting the evolution of seismicity in southern California: Animations built on earthquake stress transfer

S Toda, RS Stein, K Richards‐Dinger… - … Research: Solid Earth, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
We develop a forecast model to reproduce the distribution of main shocks, aftershocks and
surrounding seismicity observed during 1986–2003 in a 300× 310 km area centered on the …

Uplift and seismicity driven by groundwater depletion in central California

CB Amos, P Audet, WC Hammond, R Bürgmann… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Groundwater use in California's San Joaquin Valley exceeds replenishment of the aquifer,
leading to substantial diminution of this resource,,, and rapid subsidence of the valley floor …

Introduction to special section: Stress transfer, earthquake triggering, and time‐dependent seismic hazard

S Steacy, J Gomberg, M Cocco - Journal of Geophysical …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
In this introduction, we review much of the recent work related to stress transfer, earthquake
triggering, and time‐dependent seismic hazard in order to provide context for the special …

Long aftershock sequences within continents and implications for earthquake hazard assessment

S Stein, M Liu - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
One of the most powerful features of plate tectonics is that the known plate motions give
insight into both the locations and average recurrence interval of future large earthquakes …

Probability of detecting an earthquake

D Schorlemmer, J Woessner - Bulletin of the …, 2008 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We present a new method for estimating earthquake detection probabilities that avoids
assumptions about earthquake occurrence, for example, the event-size distribution, and …

Using the 2011 Mw 9.0 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake to test the Coulomb stress triggering hypothesis and to calculate faults brought closer to failure

S Toda, J Lin, RS Stein - Earth, planets and space, 2011 - Springer
Abstract The 11 March 2011 Tohoku Earthquake provides an unprecedented test of the
extent to which Coulomb stress transfer governs the triggering of aftershocks. During 11–31 …

How close to failure is a granite rock mass at a 5 km depth?

FH Cornet, T Bérard, S Bourouis - … Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining …, 2007 - Elsevier
We discuss in this paper the mechanical significance of microseismicity induced by pore
pressure variations. Particular attention is given to identifying whether microseismic events …
