Earthquake triggering by seismic waves following the Landers and Hector Mine earthquakes
Article Abstract:
Research is presented describing the seismic-wave earthquake triggering mechanisms after the 1992 Landers earthquake and the 1999 Hector mine earthquake in California. The proximity of the two earthquakes, and their similar sizes, enabled the research.

Earthquake nucleation by transient deformations caused by the M = 7.9 Denali, Alaska, earthquake
Article Abstract:
The 2002, magnitude = 7.9 Denali, Alaska, earthquake triggered widespread seismicity rate increases throughout British Columbia and into the western United States. The rate increases triggered by the Denali earthquake occurred in areas which are not tectonically active.

Implications for prediction and hazard assessment from the 2004 Parkfield earthquake
Article Abstract:
Parkfield Earthquake Prediction Experiment is conducted to study the process leading up to the anticipated earthquake and to issue a public warning shortly before the earthquake. A variety of sensors are deployed in a dense network designed specifically to record the build-up of strain in the surrounding crust, monitor earthquakes and slip on the fault, and detect any precursors that might foreshadow a large earthquake.
