TY - JOUR ID - epos1407 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2005JB003692 IS - B5 A1 - Steacy, Sandy A1 - Gomberg, Joan A1 - Cocco, Massimo Y1 - 2005/05/13/ N2 - In this introduction, we review much of the recent work related to stress transfer, earthquake triggering, and time-dependent seismic hazard in order to provide context for the special section on these subjects. Considerable advances have been made in the past decade, and we focus on our understanding of stress transfer at various temporal and spatial scales, review recent studies of the role of fluids in earthquake triggering, describe evidence for the connection between volcanism and earthquake triggering, examine observational evidence for triggering at all scales, and finally discuss the link between earthquake triggering and time-dependent seismic hazard. We conclude by speculating on future areas of research in the next decade.
