The Relationship Between Intraplate Earthquakes and Temperature
… is used to constrain the focal depths of 18 earthquakes, which are used along with published teleseismic and local-event studies to examine the seismogenic thickness (T<sub>s</sub>) in the Baikal region. All sets of earthquake data show that the mantle in this region is not a significant …

Failure of asperities by hydraulically induced fatigue: a model for the generation of intraplate seismicity
A model is proposed in which intraplate earthquakes are triggered by the tensile failure of asperities by subcritical crack growth. The principle subcritical crack growth mechanism is fatigue driven by cyclic tensile stresses within an asperity. Cyclic stresses result from cyclic pore pressure …

Studies of Seismic Sources in Antarctica Using an Extensive Deployment of Broadband Seismographs
… S waves as well as events classified as 'slow' earthquakes with no impulsive P-waves. I find evidence of tectonic events in East Antarctica (representing intraplate earthquakes within a stable craton), icequake events in the Transantarctic Mountains (associated with active alpine glaciers), and …

Fault segmentation and paleoseismicity along the North Wutaishan Fault of the Shanxi Graben System, China
… has been the location of large, devastating intraplate earthquakes in the past, making it an ideal location for the study of the temporal recurrence of intracontinental earthquakes. This study conducts a paleoseismic investigation on the North Wutaishan Fault (NWTSF) at the Northeastern end …

Seismicity and structure of the eastern Gawler Craton and Lake Eyre region
… Craton, the region is associated with pronounced intraplate seismic activity and thick sedimentary cover that potentially obscures the elusive boundary between older Proterozoic and younger Phanerozoic eastern Australia. Despite this, the area had limited seismic data coverage due to its …

Assessing the Seismic Hazard in Charleston, South Carolina: Comparisons Among Statistical Models
… process to describe the temporal behavior of earthquakes and have employed the Gutenberg-Richter relationship to define the frequency distribution of earthquake magnitude. For sites in areas where geological information indicates recurrent, large earthquakes, however, such data imply a rate …
