earthquakes and seismically triggered landslides pose extreme risk to > 18 million people in the densely populated region of southern California11. In this light, the southern San Andreas Fault is perhaps one of the most well-studied and monitored seismically active faults in the world4,11,12...
events in the selected range of Mw = 5 to 6.5; this may be due to the presence of quasi-static slip at shallow depths with rupture of conditionally stable regions only occurring in large tsunami earthquakes that initiate at greater depth and rupture into the shallow portion of the fault. As...

Nevertheless, if we do not consider the potential aseismic (creep slip) component of the faulting, we calculate that this fault could generate Mw 5.7 earthquakes every ~ 500 years according to Wells and Coppersmith's scaling laws and by assuming that the faulting is limited to the sedimentary ...

Since the 1960s, China has been conducting a persistent and systematic observation and monitoring experiment to falsify the hypothesis of premonitory anomalies and the predictability of earthquakes and the application of t

today, GISS would have said 1998 was the hottest year on record (Mann, remember, said with up to 99% certainty it was the hottest year in 1000 years) and that 2006 was the second hottest. Well, no more.Here are the new rankings for the 10 hottest years in the US, sta...
