Seismic quiescence before the M 7, 1988, Spitak earthquake, Armenia

Max Wyss and A. H. Martirosyan · 1998

Catalogue summary

Wyss and Martirosyan analyze decades of regional earthquake records to test whether a measurable lull in seismic activity preceded Armenia's destructive 1988 Spitak earthquake.

Why this matters

It gives readers a concrete scientific study of a disaster central to modern Armenian history while showing the limits of precursor analysis.
