Hidden seismicity patterns before large earthquakes uncovered

When and where the next large earthquake will strike remains one of the most difficult questions in geoscience.

Researchers from the GFZ Helmholtz Center for Geosciences led by Dr.

Sadegh Karimpouli and Prof.

Dr.

Patricia Martínez-Garzón have now—together with international partners—developed a new data-driven approach that can identify characteristic changes in seismic activity before some major earthquakes occur. ...
