In the brittle regime, faults tend to be oriented along an angle of about 30 relative to the principal stress direction. This empirical Andersonian observation …

Clustering Analysis of Seismicity in the Anatolian Region with Implications for Seismic Hazard
The Anatolian region is one of the most seismically active tectonic settings in the world.Here, we perform a clustering analysis of Turkish seismicity using an …

Scaling properties of seismicity and faulting
In this work, a model for describing the size-frequency scaling and the temporal evolution of seismicity is proposed starting from simple assumptions. The parameter describing how the number of earthquakes decreases after a major seismic event, p, turns out to be positively correlated to the exponent of the frequency-size distribution of seismicity, b, and related to tectonics.
