Triggering of large earthquakes is driven by their twins

Shyam Nandan, Guy Ouillon, Didier Sornette

Fundamentally related to the UV divergence problem in Physics, conventional wisdom in seismology is that the smallest earthquakes, which are numerous and often go undetected, domin…

Is seismicity operating at a critical point?

Shyam Nandan, Sumit Kumar Ram, Guy Ouillon +1

Seismicity and faulting within the Earth crust are characterized by many scaling laws that are usually interpreted as qualifying the existence of underlying physical mechanisms ass…

Coupled mechano-electrokinetic Burridge-Knopoff model of fault sliding events and transient geoelectric signals

Hong-Jia Chen, Chien-Chih Chen, Guy Ouillon +1

We introduce the first fully self-consistent model combining the seismic micro-ruptures occurring within a generalized Burridge-Knopoff spring-block model with the nucleation and p…

A paradigm for developing earthquake probability forecasts based on geoelectric data

Hong-Jia Chen, Chien-Chih Chen, Guy Ouillon +1

We examine the precursory behavior of geoelectric signals before large earthquakes by means of an algorithm including an alarm-based model and binary classification. This algorithm…

Forecasting the full distribution of earthquake numbers is fair, robust and better

Shyam Nandan, Guy Ouillon, Didier Sornette +1

Forecasting the full distribution of the number of earthquakes is revealed to be inherently superior to forecasting their mean. Forecasting the full distribution of earthquake numb…

Forecasting the rates of future aftershocks of all generations is essential to develop better earthquake forecast models

Shyam Nandan, Guy Ouillon, Didier Sornette +1

Currently, one of the best performing and most popular earthquake forecasting models rely on the working hypothesis that: "locations of past background earthquakes reveal the proba…
