Introduction

  • Causal effect between fore- and main-shock?
  • Pre-event aseismic deformation
  • Rapid loading of asperities
  • Transient uncoupling extend from pre- to post-seismic phase?
  • Add to normal after-slip, affect aftershocks
  • Aftershocks bears information of initial fault uncoupling?

  • 𝑛 β‰₯ 6.5 after 1/1/1981

Methods

  • Probability p that precursory seismicity acceleration is by chance:
  • Algorithm by Bouchon et al., [2013]
  • Before, within 50 (km) of mainshock
  • For each mainshock:
  • Max n from various T: 1, 5, 10 days; 1, 2, 3, 6, 12 months
  • Compare with Monte Carlo simulation:
  • Get n for 1000 Poisson time series in data sampling frequency

  • Exception 1: Izu-Bonin (one strong aftershock sequence)
  • Exception 2: Northern America (oceanic transform faults + continental sources)
  • Oceanic transform faults: intensive foreshocks; little aftershocks
  • Gofar Transform Fault: pre-seismic acceleration creep halted by

mainshock

  • Fault-specific: high porosity & thermal gradient?

1.

Mainshocks of A are larger than B?

  • More productive

2.

Regions of A: higher long-term seismicity?

  • More aftershocks

3.

Preshocks causing acceleration also trigger their own aftershocks?

  • Aftershock: mainshock- and preshock-contributed

4.

  • Triggering more of their own aftershock

5.

  • Mean magnitude: S𝑛e: 6.88

  • Average over 612 events: 𝐿 = 3.6; 𝑙 = 8.20Γ—10β€’β€š

Relationship Between Fore- and Aftershock Activities

  • Aftershocks of A are larger than that of B?
  • Productivity of A’s and B’s aftershocks: 𝐿

Ζ’ = 1.54𝐿‹

  • Difference in magnitude
  • Almost equal b-values: S𝑐ƒ: 1.21 Β± 0.06

  • Foreshock of Tohoku-Oki counts it as aftershock
  • After removal: 𝐿

Ζ’ = 1.08𝐿‹

  • Doesn’t suppress correlation: gain in production of A is 34% than 40%
  • This sequence needs careful analyzation for being the end of 2-month long swarm

Comparison With Clustering Models

  • Foreshockβ€” aftershock relationship: can’t be explained by clustering models
  • Null hypothesis: ETAS
  • Assume acceleration: earthquake clustering properties
  • Doesn’t predict correlation between acceleration and aftershock!
  • ETAS: triggering rate density:
  • πœ‡ 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑒 = 𝜈 + βˆ‘ πœ‡β€™(𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑒)
  • Earthquake 𝑗 before time 𝑒; πœ‡β€™: rate density of triggering by earthquake 𝑗

Comparison With Clustering Models

  • To reproduce number of aftershock/ mainshock:
  • 𝛽 = 2.3; 𝑀4 = 8 𝑛 ; 𝛿 = 3.5
  • 𝛽: largest within 𝛽 < 𝑐 π‘šπ‘œ10; larger: enhance acceleration
  • Dispersion of data points: 𝐡’ = 3Γ—10β€’~ 1.8𝑣 + 0.1 , 0 < 𝑣 < 1

  • Probability: 0.13% (Gaussian fit) (5 out of 1000)

Spreading of Aftershock Zone

  • Aseismic process required!
  • Ensemble-averaged clustering law and observation error not enough
  • A is 20% more wide-spread in space than B
  • Foreshocks: 1 year
  • Aftershocks: 20 days
  • Epicentral distance normalized:

𝑀 = 0.005Γ—104.56

  • Rotated so y=0 best perpendicular

to 1-year aftershock distribution

  • Circle: unit circle
  • Ellipse: 1 s confidence ellipse
  • Upper-right: smaller: B

Spreading of Aftershock Zone

  • A is more wide-spread in space than B
  • ETAS: 5% only (20- days)
  • 1-day: 25% more
  • 20-day: 20% more
  • 1-year: 11% more (may be contaminated by background)
  • Scaling of aftershock productivityβ€” magnitude (or rupture length):
  • 𝑓H.}NΓ—6 = 𝑀(𝑛)

  • 23% more in L to explain 40% more aftershocks
  • Similarity between 20% and 23%
  • SSpatial spreading

Triggering of aftershocks of A : same ETAS-failed process!

  • Transient diffusing aseismic deformation-/ creeping- triggering fore- and aftershocks

Discussion & Conclusion

  • Earthquake process: complex!
  • Creeping without earthquake/ earthquake without creeping
  • This study:
  • More aftershock following foreshock
  • Aseismic deformation transient
  • Compound rupture
  • Observable in averaged sense only
  • Compound rupture with slow initial phase recorded; but:
  • Fewer aftershocks for oceanic earthquakes
  • Observed here is in averaged sense; not individually
  • Tectonic implication too regionally specific
  • Better constrain the a priori probability of large ruptures by slow

deformation transients?
