Remotely triggered seismicity on the United States west coast following the Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake Remotely triggered seismicity on the United States west coast following the Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake
The Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake in central Alaska of 3 November 2002 triggered earthquakes across western North America at epicentral distances of up to at least 3660 km. We describe the spatial and temporal development of triggered activity in California and the Pacific Northwest, focusing on Mount Rainier, the Geysers geothermal field, the Long Valley caldera, and the Coso...

Estimation of ground motion for Bhuj (26 January 2001; Mw 7.6) and for future earthquakes in India Estimation of ground motion for Bhuj (26 January 2001; Mw 7.6) and for future earthquakes in India
Only five moderate and large earthquakes (Mw ≥5.7) in India—three in the Indian shield region and two in the Himalayan arc region—have given rise to multiple strong ground-motion recordings. Near-source data are available for only two of these events. The Bhuj earthquake (Mw 7.6), which occurred in the shield region, gave rise to useful recordings at distances exceeding 550 km. Because...

A media-based assessment of damage and ground motions from the January 26th, 2001 M 7.6 Bhuj, India earthquake A media-based assessment of damage and ground motions from the January 26th, 2001 M 7.6 Bhuj, India earthquake
We compiled available news and internet accounts of damage and other effects from the 26th January, 2001, Bhuj earthquake, and interpreted them to obtain modified Mercalli intensities at over 200 locations throughout the Indian subcontinent. These values are used to map the intensity distribution using a simple mathematical interpolation method. The maps reveal several interesting...

Intraplate triggered earthquakes: Observations and interpretation Intraplate triggered earthquakes: Observations and interpretation
We present evidence that at least two of the three 1811-1812 New Madrid, central United States, mainshocks and the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake triggered earthquakes at regional distances. In addition to previously published evidence for triggered earthquakes in the northern Kentucky/southern Ohio region in 1812, we present evidence suggesting that triggered events might...

Source properties of earthquakes near the Salton Sea triggered by the 16 October 1999 M 7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake Source properties of earthquakes near the Salton Sea triggered by the 16 October 1999 M 7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake
We analyze the source properties of a sequence of triggered earthquakes that occurred near the Salton Sea in southern California in the immediate aftermath of the M 7.1 Hector Mine earthquake of 16 October 1999. The sequence produced a number of early events that were not initially located by the regional network, including two moderate earthquakes: the first within 30 sec of the P-wave...
