Earthquake fracture energy relates to how a quake stops
Journal Reference: Chun-Yu Ke, Gregory C. McLaskey, David S. Kammer. Earthquake breakdown energy scaling despite constant fracture energy. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28647-4 This modeling revelation could help science inch closer to making accurate earthquake forecasts. “We realized that observations we thought were related to how faults weaken are actually data related to … Read more
