We introduce a statistical methodology for clustering analysis of seismicity in the time-space-energy domain and use it to establish the existence of two statistically distinct populations of earthquakes: clustered and nonclustered. This result can be used, in particular, for nonparametric aftershock identification. The proposed approach expands the analysis of Baiesi and Paczuski [Phys. Rev. E...

Spectral analysis of teleseismic body phases at several azimuths was used to determine the moment, fault length, dislocation, stress-drop, and radiated energy of the Borrego Mountain earthquake. The results agree well with the same parameters obtained from the surface fracture and aftershock distribution and local observations of radiated energy.

Modeling of earthquake sequences using an epidemic-type aftershock sequence model by Phys. Rev. E 66, 061104 (2002)] has led these authors to conclude that previous analyses of apparent earthquake diffusions were flawed. We show here that diffusion analyses based on spatiotemporal correlation measures for earthquake populations are an appropriate method for capturing the space-time coupling pre...

[1] We use subdaily GPS time series of positions in the first 5 hours following the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake (Mw = 8.0) located offshore of Hokkaido, Japan, to estimate frictional parameters for the afterslip zone on the subduction interface. The data show little motion immediately after the earthquake with sudden acceleration at about 1.2 hours after the main shock. This coincides with the ...

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...

this paper focuses on aftershocks behavior and seismicity along some co-seismic faults for large earthquakes in iran. the data of aftershocks and seismicity roughly extracted from both the institute of geophysics the university of tehran (igut) and international seismological center (isc) catalogs. apply some essential methods on 43 large earthquakes data; like the depth, magnitude as well as t...

The Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model and the modified Omori law (MOL) are two aftershock rate models that used for operational earthquake/aftershock forecasting. Previous studies have investigated relative performance of specific case studies. However, a rigorous comparative evaluation forecasting basic several different earthquake sequences has not been done before. In this study...
