The Community Code Verification Exercise for Simulating Sequences of Earthquakes and Aseismic Slip (SEAS)

Numerical simulations of sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip (SEAS) have made great progress over past decades to address important questions in earthquake physics. However, significant challenges in SEAS modeling remain in resolving …

Crack Models of Repeating Earthquakes Predict Observed Moment-Recurrence Scaling

Small repeating earthquakes are thought to represent rupture of isolated asperities loaded by surrounding creep. The observed scaling between recurrence interval and seismic moment, $T_r$ ~ $M^{1/ 6}$, contrasts with expectation assuming constant …

A Parallel Code to Calculate Rate-State Seismicity Evolution Induced by Time Dependent, Heterogeneous Coulomb Stress Changes

The estimation of space and time-dependent earthquake probabilities, including aftershock sequences, has received increased attention in recent years, and Operational Earthquake Forecasting systems are currently being implemented in various …

Testing Atmospheric and Tidal Earthquake Triggering at Mt. Hochstaufen, Germany

Seismicity closely related to hydrological impacts has been observed in several locations worldwide, particularly in intraplate areas where tectonic stressing rates are small. The triggering mechanism is usually explained by a poroelastic response of …
