    Stress interaction effect on the occurrence probability of characteristic earthquakes in Central Apennines (2008)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: In this study, we compute the effect of stress change due to previous historical earthquakes on the probability of occurrence of future earthquakes on neighboring faults. Following a methodology developed in the last decade, we start from the estimate of the probability of occurrence in the next 50 years for a characteristic earthquake on known seismogenic structures, based on a time-dependent renewal model. Then a physical model for the Coulomb stress change caused by previous earthquakes on these structures is applied. The influence of this stress change on the occurrence rate of characteristic earthquakes is computed, taking into account both permanent (clock advance) and temporary (rate-and-state) perturbations. We apply this method to the computation of earthquake hazard of the main seismogenic structures recognized in the Central and Southern Apennines region, for which both historical and paleoseismological data are available. This study provides the opportunity of reviewing the problems connected with the estimate of the parameters of a renewal model in case of characteristic earthquakes characterized by return times longer than the time spanned by the available catalogues and the applicability of the concept of characteristic earthquake itself. The results show that the estimated effect of earthquake interaction in this region is small compared with the uncertainties affecting the statistical model used for the basic time-dependent hazard assessment.

    Earthquake occurrence models in the short and long term for the Italian seismicity (2010)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The ETES, ERS and LTST models have been submitted to the CSEP (Collaboratory for the study of Earthquake Predictability) forecast testing for Italy (ETH-Zurich) and locked down to test their validity on real data in a forward way starting from August 1, 2009.
    Description: This work describes three earthquake occurrence models, two in the short-(24 hour) and one in long-term (5- and 10 year), applied to the whole Italian territory in order to assess the occurrence probability of future (M≥5.0) earthquakes. The first model for short-term forecasts is a purely stochastic Epidemic Type Earthquake Sequence model (ETES). The second short-term epidemic forecast is based on a model physically constrained by the application of Dieterich rate-state constitutive law to the earthquake clustering (ERS). The third forecast is based on a Long Term model that considers the perturbation of earthquake probability for interacting faults by static Coulomb stress changes (LTST). These models have been submitted to the CSEP (Collaboratory for the study of Earthquake Predictability) forecast testing for Italy (ETH-Zurich) and locked down to test their validity on real data in a forward way starting from August 1, 2009.

    Real time forecasts through an earthquake clustering model constrained by the rate-and-state constitutive law compared with a purely stochastic ETAS model (2008)
    Seismological society of America
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We propose an earthquake clustering model based on the popular concept of epidemic models. In these models every earthquake can be regarded as both triggered by previous events and as a potential triggering event for subsequent earthquakes (Ogata 1988, 1998; Ogata and Zhuang 2006 and reference therein; Console and Murru 2001; Console et al. 2003; Console et al. 2006a, 2006b; Helmstetter and Sornette 2002a, 2002b, 2003 for reviews; and Vere-Jones 2006 for review on the use of stochastic models for earthquake occurrence). The occurrence- rate density at any time and geographical location is computed by the contribution of every previous event using a kernel function that takes into proper account: (a) the magnitude of the triggering earthquake, (b) the spatial distance from the triggering event, and (c) the time interval between the triggering event and the instant considered for the computation. The magnitude distribution adopted here is the Gutenberg-Richter law (Gutenberg and Richter 1944). The above-mentioned criteria are implemented through the introduction of the rate-and-state constitutive law in a previously existing epidemic algorithm. The validity of the model can be tested in an exercise of realtime forecast.

    Description: We have applied a variation of the ETAS model, which is a stochastic triggering epidemic model incorporating short-term clustering, to data collected by the New Zealand Seismological Observatory-Wellington (Geonet) for forecasting earthquakes of moderate and large magnitude in the New Zealand region.
    Description: We have applied a variation of the ETAS model, which is a stochastic triggering epidemic model incorporating short-term clustering, to data collected by the New Zealand Seismological Observatory-Wellington (Geonet) for forecasting earthquakes of moderate and large magnitude in the New Zealand region. The model uses earthquake data only, with no explicit use of tectonic, geologic, or geodetic information. In this epidemic-type model every earthquake is regarded, at the same time, as being triggered by previous events and triggering following earthquakes. A maximum likelihood estimate of the model parameters has been performed on the learning period from 1960 to 2005 for earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 and larger. Forecast verification procedures have been carried out in forward-retrospective way on the January 2006-April 2008 data set, making use of statistical tools as the log-likelihood ratio, the Relative Operating Characteristics (ROC) diagrams, the Molchan error diagrams, the probability gain and the R-score. These procedures show that the clustering epidemic model achieves a log-likelihood ratio per event of the order of some units, and a probability gain up to several hundred times larger than a time-independent spatially uniform random forecasting hypothesis. The results show also that a significant component of the probability gain is linked to the time-independent spatial distribution of the seismicity used in the model.

    Probabilistic approach to earthquake prediction. (2006)
    INGV
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-11-04
    Description: The evaluation of any earthquake forecast hypothesis requires the application of rigorous statistical methods. It implies a univocal definition of the model characterising the concerned anomaly or precursor, so as it can be objectively recognised in any circumstance and by any observer.A valid forecast hypothesis is expected to maximise successes and minimise false alarms. The probability gain associated to a precursor is also a popular way to estimate the quality of the predictions based on such precursor. Some scientists make use of a statistical approach based on the computation of the likelihood of an observed realisation of seismic events, and on the comparison of the likelihood obtained under different hypotheses. This method can be extended to algorithms that allow the computation of the density distribution of the conditional probability of earthquake occurrence in space, time and magnitude. Whatever method is chosen for building up a new hypothesis, the final assessment of its validity should be carried out by a test on a new and independent set of observations. The implementation of this test could, however, be problematic for seismicity characterised by long-term recurrence intervals. Even using the historical record, that may span time windows extremely variable between a few centuries to a few millennia, we have a low probability to catch more than one or two events on the same fault. Extending the record of earthquakes of the past back in time up to several millennia, paleoseismology represents a great opportunity to study how earthquakes recur through time and thus provide innovative contributions to time-dependent seismic hazard assessment. Sets of paleoseimologically dated earthquakes have been established for some faults in the Mediterranean area: the Irpinia fault in Southern Italy, the Fucino fault in Central Italy, the El Asnam fault in Algeria and the Skinos fault in Central Greece. By using the age of the paleoearthquakes with their associated uncertainty we have computed, through a Montecarlo procedure, the probability that the observed inter-event times come from a uniform random distribution (null hypothesis). This probability is estimated approximately equal to 8.4% for the Irpinia fault, 0.5% for the Fucino fault, 49% for the El Asnam fault and 42% for the Skinos fault. So, the null Poisson hypothesis can be rejected with a confidence level of 99.5% for the Fucino fault, but it can be rejected only with a confidence level between 90% and 95% for the Irpinia fault, while it cannot be rejected for the other two cases. As discussed in the last section of this paper, whatever the scientific value of any prediction hypothesis, it should be considered effective only after evaluation of the balance between the costs and benefits introduced by its practical implementation.

    Correlation of Static Stress Changes and Earthquake Occurrence in the North Aegean Region (2010)
    springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-09
    Description: A systematic analysis is made of static Coulomb stress changes and earthquake occurrence in the area of the North Aegean Sea, Greece, in order to assess the prospect of using static stress changes to construct a regional earthquake likelihood model.
    Description: A systematic analysis is made of static Coulomb stress changes and earthquake occurrence in the area of the North Aegean Sea, Greece, in order to assess the prospect of using static stress changes to construct a regional earthquake likelihood model. The earthquake data set comprises all events of magnitude M ≥ 5.2 which have occurred since 1964. This is compared to the evolving stress field due to constant tectonic loading and perturbations due to coseismic slip associated with major earthquakes (M ≥ 6.4) over the same period. The stress was resolved for sixteen fault orientation classes, covering the observed focal mechanisms of all earthquakes in the region. Analysis using error diagrams shows that earthquake occurrence is better correlated with the constant tectonic loading component of the stress field than with the total stress field changes since 1964, and that little, if any, information on earthquake occurrence is lost if only the maximum of the tectonic loading over the fault orientation classes is considered. Moreover, the information on earthquake occurrence is actually increased by taking the maximum of the evolving stress field since 1964, and of its coseismic–slip component, over the fault orientation classes. The maximum, over fault orientation classes, of linear combinations of the tectonic loading and the evolving stress field is insignificantly better correlated with earthquake occurrence than the maximum of the tectonic loading by itself. A composite stress–change variable is constructed from ordering of the maximum tectonic loading component and the maximum coseismic–slip component, in order to optimize the correlation with earthquake occurrence. The results indicate that it would be difficult to construct a time–varying earthquake likelihood model from the evolving stress field that is more informative than a time–invariant model based on the constant tectonic loading.
