AbstractThe proposed research aims to illuminate the processes associated with earthquake precursors, crucial for improving seismic hazard forecasting. Earthquakes pose a significant threat to society. Despite decades of research, reliable precursors, indicative of imminent seismic events, remain elusive even though such precursors are routinely documented on small laboratory faults. The project focuses on meter-scale faults, offering a more realistic representation of natural fault systems. By adapting
