The 2016– 2017 Central Apennines earthquake sequence is a recent example of how damages from subsequent aftershocks can exceed those caused by the initial mainshock.
The static coulomb stress hypothesis is a widely known physical mechanism for earthquake triggering and thus a prime candidate for physics-based operational earthquake forecasting …
The estimation of space and time-dependent earthquake probabilities, including aftershock sequences, has received increased attention in recent years.
The spatiotemporal clustering of earthquakes is a feature of medium- and short-term seismicity, indicating that earthquakes interact.
Stress transfer between earthquakes is recognized as a fundamental mechanism governing aftershock sequences.
