    • Earthquake and tsunami forecasts: Relation of slow slip events to subsequent earthquake rupture 

      Dixon, Timothy H.; Jiang, Yan; Malservisi, Rocco; McCaffrey, Robert; Voss, Nicholas; Protti, Marino; Gonzalez, Victor (National Academy of Sciences, 2014-11-17)
      The 5 September 2012 Mw 7.6 earthquake on the Costa Rica subduction plate boundary followed a 62-y interseismic period. Highprecision GPS recorded numerous slow slip events (SSEs) in the decade leading up to the earthquake, ...

    • Earthquake magnitude calculation without saturation from the scaling of peak ground displacement 

      Melgar, Diego; Crowell, Brendan; Geng, Jianghui; Allen, Richard; Bock, Yehuda; Riquelme, Sebastian; Hill, Emma; Protti, Marino; Ganas, Athanassios (Geophysical Research Letters, 2015-06-02)
      GPS instruments are noninertial and directly measure displacements with respect to a global reference frame, while inertial sensors are affected by systematic offsets—primarily tilting—that adversely impact integration to ...
