Prospects for larger or more frequent earthquakes in the Los Angeles metropolitan region by Sieh, Kerry, Suppe, John, Dolan, James F., Rockwell, Thomas K., Yeats, Robert S., Huftile, Gary J., Gath, Eldon M., Shaw, John H.

“…Far too few moderate earthquakes have occurred within the Los Angeles, California, metropolitan region during the 200-year-long historic period to account for observed strain accumulation, indicating that the historic era represents either a lull between clusters of moderate earthquakes or part of a centuries-long interseismic period between much larger (moment magnitude, Mw, 7.2 to 7.6) events. …”
