Science and Products
Could the M7.1 Ridgecrest, CA Earthquake Sequence Trigger a Large Earthquake Nearby?
Operational Earthquake Forecasting – Implementing a Real-Time System for California
Supporting Data for "Subduction intraslab-interface fault interactions in the 2022 Mw 6.4 Ferndale, California, earthquake sequence"
High resolution earthquake relocations and focal mechanisms with preferred fault planes for the 2020 Maacama sequence
Aftershock forecasting
Earth’s free surface complicates inference of absolute stress from earthquake-Induced stress rotations
Using corrected and imputed polarity measurements to improve focal mechanisms in a regional earthquake catalog near the Mt. Lewis Fault Zone, California
Fracture-mesh faulting in the swarm-like 2020 Maacama sequence revealed by high-precision earthquake detection, location, and focal mechanisms
Physical properties of the crust influence aftershock locations
Earthquakes in the shadows: Why aftershocks occur at surprising locations
Using machine learning techniques with incomplete polarity datasets to improve earthquake focal mechanism determination
S/P amplitude ratios derived from single-component seismograms and their potential use in constraining focal mechanisms for micro-earthquake sequences
Prospective and retrospective evaluation of the U.S. Geological Survey public aftershock forecast for the 2019-2021 Southwest Puerto Rico Earthquake and aftershocks
Does earthquake stress drop increase with depth in the crust?
A unified model of crustal stress heterogeneity from borehole breakouts and earthquake focal mechanisms
Spatial clustering of aftershocks impacts the performance of physics‐based earthquake forecasting models
SATSI
SATSI (Spatial And Temporal Stress Inversion) is a modified version of Michael's (JGR 1984, 1987) code that inverts focal mechanism data for a spatially and/or temporally varying stress field.
HASH 1.2
HASH is a Fortran 77 code that computes double-couple earthquake focal mechanisms from P-wave first motion polarity observations, and optionally S/P amplitude ratios.
