Earthquake nucleation and its relationship to earthquake clustering
Earthquake clustering phenomena such as aftershocks, foreshocks, and pairing of mainshocks are prominent and characteristic features of earthquake occurrence. Because the earthquake nucleation process controls the time and place of occurrence of earthquakes, non-linear dependence of nucleation times on stress changes can strongly affect the spatial and temporal patterns of earthquake occurrence...
متن کاملDiscrete scaling in earthquake precursory phenomena :
We analyze the ion concentrations of groundwater issuing from deep wells located near the epicenter of the recent earthquake of magnitude 6:9 near Kobe, Japan, on January 17, 1995. These concentrations are well tted by log-periodic modulations around a leading power law. The exponent (real and imaginary parts) is very close to those already found for the ts of precursory seismic activity for Lo...
متن کاملRethinking Earthquake Prediction
We re-examine and summarize what is now possible in predicting earthquakes, what might be accomplished (and hence might be possible in the next few decades) and what types of predictions appear to be inherently impossible based on our understanding of earthquakes as complex phenomena. We take predictions to involve a variety of time scales from seconds to a few decades. Earthquake warnings and ...
متن کاملEPiC: Earthquake Prediction in California
Earthquake prediction has long been the holy grail for seismologists around the world. The various factors affecting earthquakes are far from being understood, and there exist no known correlations between largescale earthquake activity and periodic geological events. Nonetheless, we hope that machine learning will give us greater insight into the patterns underlying earthquake activity, even i...
متن کاملOn Earthquake Prediction in Japan
Japan's National Project for Earthquake Prediction has been conducted since 1965 without success. An earthquake prediction should be a short-term prediction based on observable physical phenomena or precursors. The main reason of no success is the failure to capture precursors. Most of the financial resources and manpower of the National Project have been devoted to strengthening the seismograp...
