We choose this region and this earthquake sequence because 1) the HASH method has already been routinely used by the SCSN for a long time (Yang et al., 2012), and most importantly, 2) focal mechanisms ...

The 8.8 magnitude quake off Russia that triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific occurred on what is known as a ...

Fault plane solutions of 67 earthquakes along the Middle America arc were determined. These focal mechanisms delineate tectonic activity characteristics of a subduction zone. Focal mechanisms of ...

Earthquake focal mechanisms are derived from moment tensor solutions and provide insights into earthquake rupture characteristics, including strike, dip, and rake angles. Common methods for analysing ...

Earthquake focal mechanisms are now determined routinely for thousands of events. For this study we use the best sources of focal mechanisms available worldwide: the global Harvard CMT moment ...

The study also found that questions related to earthquake focal mechanisms were not useful in distinguishing the likely origin of earthquakes, but that aftershock characteristics might be helpful ...

Analysis of focal mechanisms offers important insights into earthquake hazard assessment and tectonic processes but is often constrained by sparse station coverage and high noise levels in observed ...

A tsunami alert for Hawaii was lifted after an earthquake off Russia’s Pacific coast put the region on high alert. Residents ...

Researchers made progress on real-time determination of earthquake focal mechanism through deep learning. The work was published in Nature Communications.

A swarm of volcano-tectonic (VT) earthquakes associated with rapid dike intrusion in hours occurred beneath Sakurajima volcano on August 15, 2015. We determined the hypocenters and focal mechanisms of ...
