A stochastic model for earthquake occurrence focusing on the spatio-temporal interactions between earthquakes is discussed. The model is a marked point process model in which each earthquake is represented as a marked point in space and time. The marks are given by the magnitudes of the earthquakes but other observed properties of the earthquakes, such as information on the fault lines, can str...

No proven method is currently available for the reliable short time prediction of earthquakes (minutes to months). However, it is possible to make probabilistic hazard assessments for earthquake risk. These are primarily based on the association of small earthquakes with future large earthquakes. In this paper we discuss a new approach to earthquake forecasting. This approach is based on a patt...

Current studies of fault interaction lack sufficiently long earthquake records and measurements of fault slip rates over multiple seismic cycles to fully investigate the effects of interseismic loading and coseismic stress changes on the surrounding fault network. We model elastic interactions between 97 faults from 30 earthquakes since 1349 A.D. in central Italy to investigate the relative imp...

BACKGROUND Large earthquakes have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. In Japan, the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji (H-A) Earthquake was an urban-underground-type earthquake, whereas the 2011 Great East Japan (GEJ) Earthquake was an ocean-trench type. In the present study, we examined how these different earthquake types affected CVD mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS We examine...

although knowing the time of the occurrence of the earthquakes is vital and helpful, unfortunately it is still unpredictable. by the way there is an urgent need to find a method to foresee this catastrophic event. there are a lot of methods for forecasting the time of earthquake occurrence. another method for predicting that is to know probability density function of time interval between earth...

Off Cape Muroto area, along the Nankai Trough in southwest Japan, is a typical area with adjacent occurrences of slow and megathrust earthquakes. High-resolution monitoring earthquakes necessary to understand tectonic conditions. In off distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) measurement, which provides high-density strain data, has been conducted using offshore fiber-optic cable. We observed shallo...

We analyze previously published geodetic data and intensity values for the Ms = 8.1 Shillong (1897), Ms = 7.8 Kangra (1905), and Ms = 8.2 Nepal/Bihar (1934) earthquakes to investigate the rupture zones of these earthquakes as well as the amplification of ground motions throughout the Punjab, Ganges and Brahmaputra valleys. For each earthquake we subtract the observed MSK intensities from a synt...

Large earthquakes are sometimes observed to trigger other large earthquakes on nearby faults. The magnitudes of the calculated Coulomb stress transfers presumed to cause the triggering are 10 –10 3 of the earthquake stress drops. The earthquake stress drops and the triggering delay times are similarly small with respect to the natural recurrence time of the earthquakes. This requires that both ...
