Quantifying the expansion rates of aftershock zones for magnitude-7 class earthquakes around the Japanese archipelago
Earthquakes (mainshocks) trigger sequences of aftershocks, the frequency of which diminishes following a power-law decay, while the spatial domain of...

The aftershock sequence at a deep nickel mine: temporal and spatial distribution, magnitude distribution, and aftershock decay following major events
Mining-induced seismic events greatly threaten safety of underground workers and studying major seismic events would help mitigate hazards in deep...

On the Size of an Aftershock Zone of a Large Earthquake
AbstractAftershocks following a large earthquake are an inevitable part of the preparation and occurrence of large earthquakes. Depending on the...

Implementation and verification of a real-time system for automatic aftershock forecasting in China
In this paper, an automatic aftershock forecasting system for China is presented. Based on a parameter-free historical analogy method, this system...

Modeling and Prediction of Aftershock Activity
We provide an overview of the basic models of the aftershock processes and advanced methods used to predict postseismic hazard. We consider both the...

Bayesian earthquake forecasting approach based on the epidemic type aftershock sequence model
The epidemic type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model is used as a baseline model both for earthquake clustering and earthquake prediction. In most...

The aftershock activity of the Samos earthquake (Mw = 7.0) of October 30, 2020: aftershock regime and a new method for estimating aftershock duration
The Samos (Sisam) Island earthquake of October 30, 2020 (11:51:25 UTC, M w = 7.0, M L = 6.6, depth = 12 km) was a major earthquake with an epicenter in...

Aftershock study of the 2019 Ambon earthquake using moment tensor inversion: identification of fault reactivation in northern Banda, Indonesia
On September 26, 2019, an Mw 6.5 earthquake occurred 23 km northeast of Ambon City, Indonesia, followed by numerous aftershock series related to a...

On the applicability of the RETAS model for forecasting aftershock probability in underground mines (Kiirunavaara Mine, Sweden)
Aftershock series of even comparatively small seismic events can pose a risk to the mining operation or the personnel in deep underground mines as...

A Short Note on the Aftershock Duration of Strong to Major Himalayan Earthquakes
Earthquakes of M ≥ 5 tend to be locally damaging, specifically when these are the aftershocks of larger earthquakes, as the main shock would have...

Shear wave splitting of the 2018 Lombok earthquake aftershock area, Indonesia
Lombok is one of the islands in the transitional zone from the Sunda Arc to the Banda Arc, Indonesia. In the mid-2018, the island of Lombok was...

Selection of shelters after earthquake using probabilistic seismic aftershock hazard analysis and remote sensing
After a major earthquake, one of the main tasks is to identify temporary shelters. In this study, we utilized probabilistic aftershock hazard...
-
Seismic fragility assessment on the post-mainshock damaged shield building considering aftershock duration and damage ratio
In general, historical earthquake events have shown that a strong mainshock might trigger several aftershocks, which can cause additional damage and...

Seismic MainShock–AfterShock response assessment of reinforced concrete bridges pre-exposed to flood induced local scouring
Flood may cause the removal of bed material or local scour before seismic activity for bridges located at seismically active as well as flood-prone...
