A recently proposed method of constructing seismic networks from 'record breaking events' from the earthquake catalog of California (Phy. Rev. E, 77 6,066104, 2008) was successfull in establishing causal features to seismicity and arrive at…
We have explored the temporal variability of the seismicity at global scale over the last 124 years, as well as its potential drivers. To achieve this, we constructed and analyzed an averaged global seismicity curve for earthquakes of…
We present a method for locating the seismic event epicenters without assuming an Earth model of the seismic velocity structure, based on the linear relationship between $\log R$ and $\log t$ (where $R$ is the radius of spherical P wave…
A lot of seismic phenomena with small magnitude has been taking place in the Ladoga lake region. One of them is the earthquake which was recorded on the 31$^\text{th}$ of July, 2010 followed by an earthquake swarm near Nikonovsky cape.…

Satellite observations of the geomagnetic field contain signals generated in Earth's interior by electrical currents in the core and by magnetized rocks in the lithosphere. At short wavelengths the lithospheric signal dominates, obscuring…
Landslide movements typically show a series of progressively shorter quiescent phases, punctuated by sudden bursts during an acceleration crisis. We propose that such intermittent rupture phenomena can be described by a log-periodic power…
