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,...

Spatial Heterogeneity in Earthquake Fault-Like Systems
The inhomogeneity of materials with different physical properties is responsible for a wide variety of spatial and temporal behavior. In this work, we studied an earthquake fault model based on the Olami–Fede...

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...

Analysis of complex networks associated to seismic clusters near the Itoiz reservoir dam
On September 18, 2004, a 4.6 mbLg earthquake occurred in the western Pyrenees, with an epicenter located approximately 4 km from the Itoiz reservoir dam. We study the aftershock sequence of this earthquake and...

Postseismic Deformation Following the 1994 Northridge Earthquake Identified Using the Localized Hartley Transform Filter
Here we present a new mathematical tool, the localized (HL); Bracewell, 1990), that allows for the filtering of 1-D time series through the identification of the power at various spatial and temporal wavelengths....

A Hybrid Model for the Summit Region of Merapi Volcano, Java, Indonesia, Derived from Gravity Changes and Deformation Measured between 2000 and 2002
Three-dimensional displacements and gravity changes were measured at 20 points between 2000 and 2002 at Merapi volcano, Java, Indonesia. Former models focused on the modeling of a single magmatic source locate...

Interpretation of 1992–1994 Gravity Changes around Mayon Volcano, Philippines, Using Point Sources
Significant gravity changes observed around the Mayon Volcano (Philippines) between 1992 and 1994 at 26 stations are interpreted in terms of an increase of mass and pressure changes at several point sources mo...

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...
