In the 70 years prior to the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, seventeen M≥6 earthquakes shook the San Francisco Bay region; in the 94 years following there have been only five (Bakun, 1999). A plausible explanation is that after great earthquakes the crust in an entire region is relaxed, creating a "stress shadow" within which other large earthquakes are suppressed until plate tectonic stre...

Continued use of magnitude-area scaling to estimate earthquake sizes is recommended. Area based on along-strike length and downdip width remains a good measure. Although questions have been raised concerning the depth extent of ruptures during large earthquakes, the seismogenic area remains a useful proxy for the purposes of estimating earthquake sizes. Four relations are examined here in terms...

important components affecting recruitment of fish populations. Successful recruitment depends on the planktonic stages being retained in, or transported to, nursery areas favourable for growth and survival. Advective loss of larvae into less favourable areas would clearly have a negative impact on recruitment (Iles and Sinclair 1982), particularly in upwelling systems where offshore loss of la...
