Large earthquake genesis processes observed with Physical Wavelets

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that Physical Wavelets can analyze regional seismic data to predict large earthquake genesis processes, including location, fault movement, size, and rupture time, with notable accuracy and lead time.

Contribution

It introduces the use of Physical Wavelets for long-term earthquake process observation and prediction, enhancing understanding of seismic event development.

Findings

Predictability of earthquake location and fault movement.

Accurate estimation of earthquake size and rupture time.

Prediction lead times of up to three months.

Abstract

Physical Wavelets observe the large earthquake genesis processes of several months in a regional seismic catalog, suggesting the predictability of location, fault movement and size, and rupture time with an accuracy of up to a day and up to three months in advance.
