Earthquake swarms are clusters of earthquakes occurring closely in time and space, that lack a dominant mainshock at the beginning. Swarms are observed in tectonically active regions worldwide, and are frequently associated with industrial operations involving fluid injection or extraction. In a broader context, foreshock sequences and complex seismic episodes with multiple large events are also part of the swarm-like seismicity spectrum. This workshop will feature oral and poster presentations to share the latest insights and developments in the study of swarm-like seismicity.
