Published in 2020 at "Geophysical Journal International"

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggaa401

Abstract: Knowledge of crustal stress field is essential for understanding tectonics and earthquake generation. One way to estimate the crustal stress field is based on focal mechanisms of earthquakes. This ... read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America"

DOI: 10.1785/0120210115

Abstract: Earthquake magnitudes are widely relied upon measures of earthquake size. Although moment magnitude (Mw) has become the established standard for moderate and large earthquakes, difficulty in reliably measuring seismic moments for small (generally Mw read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Seismological Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1785/0220200320

Abstract: To better characterize seismic hazard, particularly, for induced seismicity, there is an increasing interest in methods to estimate moment magnitude (Mw) for small earthquakes. Mw is generally preferred over other magnitude types, but, it is… read more here.
