Statistical Studies of Induced and Triggered Seismicity at The Geysers, California
This study considers the statistics of fluid-induced and remotely triggered seismicity at The Geysers geothermal field, California. Little seismicity was reported before steam extraction began in 1960. Beginni...

Statistical Mechanics Perspective on Earthquakes
We report on theoretical and numerical investigations of a series of simple models of earthquake faults. We find that the range of stress transfer, the nature of the friction force, the magnitude of the noise,...

Critical Jump Distance for Propagating Earthquake Ruptures Across Step-Overs
The geometry of a strike-slip fault system is an important component that influences the kinematics and interactions of the various faults within the system. Discontinuities and bends in the fault geometry not...

Black swans, power laws, and dragon-kings: Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, wildfires, floods, and SOC models
Extreme events that change global society have been characterized as black swans. The frequency-size distributions of many natural phenomena are often well approximated by power-law (fractal) distributions. An...

Ergodicity and Earthquake Catalogs: Forecast Testing and Resulting Implications
Recently the equilibrium property of ergodicity was identified in an earthquake fault system (Tiampo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 238501, 2003; Phys. Rev. E 75, 066107, 2007). Ergodicity i...

Geodetic and Structural Research in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain: 1992–2007 Results
We review the results of the geodetic and structural studies carried out on La Palma Island using geodetic and geophysical data during the period 1992–2007. InSAR and GPS observation techniques were applied to...

On the Mathematical Analysis of an Elastic-gravitational Layered Earth Model for Magmatic Intrusion: The Stationary Case
In the early eighties (Rundle 1980, 1981a, 1981b, 1982) developed the techniques needed for calculations of displacements and gravity changes due to internal sources of strain in layered linear elastic-gravitatio...

Stress Shadows Determined from a Phase Dynamical Measure of Historic Seismicity
The Pattern Informatics (PI) technique (Tiampo et al., 2002) is founded on the premise that changes in the seismicity rate are a proxy for changes in the underlying stress. These stress changes are correlated ove...

Systematic Procedural and Sensitivity Analysis of the Pattern Informatics Method for Forecasting Large (M > 5) Earthquake Events in Southern California
Recent studies in the literature have introduced a new approach to earthquake forecasting based on representing the space-time patterns of localized seismicity by a time-dependent system state vector in a real...
