10. Boris Rösler (2023): Influence of Earthquake Faulting Type on Polarity of Non-Double-Couple Components (in review)


11. Boris Rösler, Bruce D. Spencer & Seth Stein (2024): Which Global Moment Tensor Catalog Provides the Most Precise Non-Double-Couple Components?, Seismological Research Letters, Link
    Without knowing the true non-double-couple components of earthquakes, we can quantify the noise in them through their correlation between different moment tensor catalogs. We determine that the Global CMT catalog provides the most precise non-double-couple components.


12. Boris Rösler, Seth Stein, Adam T. Ringler & Jiří Vackář (2024): Apparent Non-Double-Couple Components as Artifacts of Moment Tensor Inversion, Seismica, 3 (1), Link
    By generating synthetic seismograms for a double-couple source using a perturbed Earth model and inverting them using Green's functions generated for the unperturbed Earth model, we can quantify the non-double-couple components arising from uncertainties in the Earth structure.


13. Boris Rösler, Seth Stein & Bruce D. Spencer (2023): When are Non-Double-Couple Components of Seismic Moment Tensors Reliable?, Seismica, 2 (1), Link
    Non-double-couple components of large earthquakes and large non-double-couple components are more likely to represent real source processes.


14. Boris Rösler, Seth Stein & Susan E. Hough (2022): On the Documentation, Independence, and Stability of Widely Used Seismological Data Products, Frontiers in Earth Science, 10, 988098, Link
    Differences between moment tensors of different catalogs result from differences in inversion procedures. However, the methodology used is generally insufficiently documented to assess possible causes of the discrepancies.


15. Boris Rösler, & Seth Stein (2022): Consistency of Non-Double-Couple Components of Seismic Moment Tensors With Earthquake Magnitude and Mechanism, Seismological Research Letters, 93 (3), 1510-1523, Link
    The consistency with magnitude, faulting type, and geologic environment suggests that non-double-couple components of seismic moment tensors of most earthquakes, especially smaller ones, are artifacts of the inversion.

Junqueira, Jesús Relinque, Luis Fernandez-Prieto, Jiří Vackář, Boris Rösler, Jaime Barco, Antonio Pazos & Luz García-Martínez (2022): Integrated Seismic Program (ISP): A new Python GUI-based software for earthquake seismology and seismic signal processing, Seismological Research Letters, 93 (3), 1895-1908, Link
    Integrated Seismic Program (ISP) provides a user-friendly framework for performing numerous common and advanced tasks in seismological research in a graphical interface.


17. Boris Rösler, Seth Stein, & Bruce D. Spencer (2021): Uncertainties in Seismic Moment Tensors Inferred from Differences between Global Catalogs, Seismological Research Letters, 92 (6), 3698-3711, Link
    Comparison of seismic moment tensors from different catalogs suggest that uncertainties are much larger than calculated from the misfit between the synthetic and observed waveforms.


18. Vivian Tang, Boris Rösler, Jordan Nelson, JaCoya Thompson, Suzan van der Lee, Kevin Chao, & Michelle Paulsen (2020): Citizen Scientists Help Detect and Classify Dynamically Triggered Seismic Activity in Alaska, Frontiers in Earth Science, 8, 321, Link
    Seismograms converted to audible frequencies can be analyzed by citizen scientists to detect triggered seismicity. Humans achieve higher accuracy in the classification of signals than trained machine-learning algorithms.


19. Boris Rösler & Suzan van der Lee (2020): Using Seismic Source Parameters to Model Frequency-Dependent Surface-Wave Radiation Patterns, Seismological Research Letters, 91 (2A), 992-100, Link
    The surface-wave radiation pattern product shows the spectral amplitudes of seismic energy radiation by azimuth around the epicenter for Rayleigh and Love waves for earthquakes with arbitrary source mechanisms.
