Numerical simulations of sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip (SEAS) have made great progress over past decades to address important questions in earthquake physics.
While power law distributions in seismic moment and interevent times are ubiquitous in regional earthquake catalogs, the statistics of individual faults remains controversial.
Small repeating earthquakes are thought to represent rupture of isolated asperities loaded by surrounding creep.
The estimation of space and time-dependent earthquake probabilities, including aftershock sequences, has received increased attention in recent years.
Seismicity closely related to hydrological impacts has been observed in several locations worldwide, particularly in intraplate areas where tectonic stressing rates are small.
