The 2015–2017 Pamir earthquake sequence: foreshocks, main shocks and aftershocks, seismotectonics, fault interaction and fluid processes

Foreshocks and Aftershocks of the Great 1857 California Earthquake

The San Andreas fault is the longest fault in California and one of the longest strike-slip faults anywhere in the world, yet we know little about many aspects of its behavior before, during, and after large earthquakes. We conducted a study to locate and to estimate magnitudes for the largest foreshocks and aftershocks of the 1857 M 7.9 Fort Tejon earthquake on the central and southern segment...

Limits of declustering methods for disentangling exogenous from endogenous events in time series with foreshocks, main shocks, and aftershocks.

Many time series in natural and social sciences can be seen as resulting from an interplay between exogenous influences and an endogenous organization. We use a simple epidemic-type aftershock model of events occurring sequentially, in which future events are influenced (partially triggered) by past events to ask the question of how well can one disentangle the exogenous events from the endogen...

Values for Foreshocks and Aftershocks in Real and Simulated Earthquake Sequences by L. Knopoff,

The differences in b values between foreshock and aftershock sequences can be shown to be a statistically significant property of real earthquake sequences if a sufficiently large number of cases is considered, i.e., if the catalogs are long enough. These differences depend on the particulars of the data processing procedures used to define the sequences, such as space-time windowing and defini...
