Triggered Seismic Events Along the Eastern Denali Fault in Northwest Canada Following the 2012 M-W 7.8 Haida Gwaii, 2013 M-W 7.5 Craig, and Two M-W > 8.5 Teleseismic Earthquakes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We conduct a systematic search for remotely triggered seismic activity along the eastern Denali fault (EDF) in northwest Canada, an intraplate strike-slip region. We examine 19 distant earthquakes recorded by nine broadband stations in the Canadian National Seismograph Network and find that the 2012 M-w 7.8 Haida Gwaii and 2013 M-w 7.5 Craig, Alaska, earthquakes triggered long duration (> 10 s), emergent tremor-like signals near the southeastern portion of the EDF. In both cases, tremor coincides with the peak transverse velocities, consistent with Love-wave triggering on right-lateral strike-slip faults. The 2011 M-w 9.0 Tohoku-Oki and 2012 M-w 8.6 Indian Ocean earthquakes possibly triggered tremor signals, although we were unable to locate those sources. In addition, we also identify many short-duration (< 5 s) bursts that were repeatedly triggered by the Rayleigh waves of the 2012 M-w 7.8 Haida Gwaii earthquake. Although we were unable to precisely locate the short-duration (< 5 s) events, they appear to be radiating from the direction of the Klutlan Glacier and from a belt of shallow historical seismicity at the eastern flank of the Wrangell-St. Elias mountain range. The fact that these events were triggered solely by the Rayleigh waves suggests a different source mechanism as compared with triggered tremor observed along the EDF and other plate boundary regions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
