Updating Seismic Hazard at Parkfield
نویسندگان
چکیده
The occurrence of the September 28, 2004 Mw=6.0 mainshock at Parkfield, California, has significantly increased the mean and aperiodicity of the series of time intervals between mainshocks in this segment of the San Andreas fault. We use five different statistical distributions as renewal models to fit this new series and to estimate the time-dependent probability of the next Parkfield mainshock. Three of these distributions (lognormal, gamma and Weibull) are frequently used in reliability and time-to-failure problems. The other two come from physicallybased models of earthquake recurrence (the Brownian Passage Time Model and the Minimalist Model). The differences resulting from these five renewal models are emphasized.

Updating HTDP for two recent earthquakes in California
This paper describes the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) process for selecting and validating models for two recent earthquakes prior to their inclusion in the Horizontal Time Dependent Positioning software (HTDP v 2.9), the 28 September 2004 Parkfield, California earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 and the 22 December 2003 San Simeon, California earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5 . The process o...
متن کاملPostseismic relaxation along the San Andreas fault at Parkfield from continuous seismological observations.
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 Andreas fault zone. The 2003 San Simeon and 2004 Parkfield earthquakes both reduced seismic velocities that were measured from correlations of the ambient seismic noise and induced an increased nonvolcanic trem...
متن کاملThe 2004 Parkfield Earthquake , the 1985 Prediction , and Characteristic Earthquakes : Lessons for the Future
The 1985 prediction of a characteristic magnitude 6 Parkfield earthquake was unsuccessful, since no significant event occurred in the 95% time window (1985–1993) anywhere near Parkfield. The magnitude 6 earthquake near Parkfield in 2004 failed to satisfy the prediction not just because it was late; it also differed in character from the 1985 prediction and was expectable according to a simple n...
متن کاملPassive monitoring of anisotropy change associated with the Parkfield 2004 earthquake
[1] We investigate temporal variations in the polarization of surface waves determined using ambient seismic noise cross‐correlations between station pairs at the time of the Mw 6.0 Parkfield earthquake of September 28, 2004. We use data recorded by the High Resolution Seismic Network’s 3‐component seismometers located along the San Andreas Fault. Our results show strong variations in azimuthal...
متن کاملSeismic Evidence for Rock Damage and Healing on the San Andreas Fault Associated with the 2004 M 6.0 Parkfield Earthquake
We deployed a dense linear array of 45 seismometers across and along the San Andreas fault near Parkfield a week after the M 6.0 Parkfield earthquake on 28 September 2004 to record fault-zone seismic waves generated by aftershocks and explosions. Seismic stations and explosions were co-sited with our previous experiment conducted in 2002. The data from repeated shots detonated in the fall of 20...
