Earthquake Prediction: The Null Hypothesis
The null hypothesis in assessing earthquake predictions is often, loosely speaking, that the successful predictions are chance coincidences. To make this more precise requires specifying a chance model for the predictions and/or the seismicity. The null hypothesis tends to be rejected not only when the predictions have merit, but also when the chance model is inappropriate. In one standard appr...
متن کاملThe 1992 Landers Earthquake Sequence: Earthquake Occurrence and Structural Heterogeneities
The June 28, 1992, Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake occurred in the southeastern Mojave Desert, California. Over 10,000 aftershocks of the earthquake were recorded by the Caltech-USGS Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) in 1992. To investigate the relationship between complexities in the crustal structure and variations in seismicity, we have used a tomographic method to invert 145,098 P wave a...
متن کاملA hypothesis for delayed dynamic earthquake triggering
[1] It’s uncertain whether more near-field earthquakes are triggered by static or dynamic stress changes. This ratio matters because static earthquake interactions are increasingly incorporated into probabilistic forecasts. Recent studies were unable to demonstrate all predictions from the static-stress-change hypothesis, particularly seismicity rate reductions. However, current dynamic stress ...
متن کاملUsing earthquake intensities to forecast earthquake occurrence times
It is well known that earthquakes do not occur randomly in space and time. Foreshocks, aftershocks, precursory activation, and quiescence are just some of the patterns recognized by seismologists. Using the Pattern Informatics technique along with relative intensity analysis, we create a scoring method based on time dependent relative operating characteristic diagrams and show that the occurren...
متن کاملStatistical Features of Earthquake Temporal Occurrence
The physics of an earthquake is a subject with many unknowns. It is true that we have a good understanding of the propagation of seismic waves through the Earth and that given a large set of seismographic records we are able to reconstruct a posteriori the history of the fault rupture (the origin of the waves). However, when we consider the physical processes which lead to the initiation of a r...
