Slowly driven sandpile models has found applications in modelling earthquakes due to the observed power law statistics in its magnitude distributions, like the behaviour of earthquakes. Adding a probability to target the most susceptible site in the grid, the sandpile model recovers even the spatio-temporal statistics of earthquake events. In this work, we compare the sandpile model with targeted triggering to the Olami-Feder-Christensen (OFC) model: a standard earthquake model that also… 

Sandpile-based model for capturing magnitude distributions and spatiotemporal clustering and separation in regional earthquakes

A cellular automata model for earthquake occurrences patterned after the sandpile model of self-organized criticality (SOC), which incorporates a single parameter describing the probability to target the most susceptible site, successfully reproduces the statistical signatures of seismicity.

Clustering analysis of seismicity and aftershock identification.

We introduce a statistical methodology for clustering analysis of seismicity in the time-space-energy domain and use it to establish the existence of two statistically distinct populations of

Scale-free networks of earthquakes and aftershocks.

A metric to quantify correlations between earthquakes is proposed and the original Omori law with p=1 emerges as a robust feature of seismicity, holding up to years even for aftershock sequences initiated by intermediate magnitude events.

Incorporating space, time, and magnitude measures in a network characterization of earthquake events

We investigate the structural properties of a spatio-temporal network of earthquake events that incorporates magnitude information between the connected events. The network creates temporally

Networks of recurrent events, a theory of records, and an application to finding causal signatures in seismicity.

Almost all of the statistical properties of a network constructed from a surrogate in which the original magnitudes and locations of earthquake epicenters are randomly "shuffled" are completely consistent with predictions from the acausal null model.

Neglected vulnerabilities in a rapidly urbanizing city: reflections on earthquake risks in Accra

There is a critical need for awareness and urgent debate about the growing vulnerability of Accra to seismicity in the light of unregulated spatial growth and development. This has resulted from

Earthquake recurrence as a record breaking process

The rupture length and its scaling with magnitude emerges as a generic measure for distance between recurrent events and the relative separations for subsequent records in space (or time) form a hierarchy with unexpected scaling properties.

IMMEDIATE DAMAGE BY AN EARTHQUAKE TO A TEMPERATE MONTANE FOREST

We quantified the immediate impact of an earthquake (magnitude index MW 6.7 in 1994) on a mountain beech (Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides) forest in the Southern Alps, New Zealand. Data from

Self-organized criticality

The discovery of a general organizing principle governing a class of dissipative coupled systems with both temporal and spatial degrees of freedom is reported, which provides a connection between nonlinear dynamics, the appearance of spatial self-similarity, and 1/f noise in a natural and robust way.
