This special issue of Seismological Research Letters (SRL) presents a variety of the first type—earthquake rupture forecasts. But let's begin with some history. The 30-year, time-dependent forecast published by the 1995 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP 1995), also known as the Phase-2...
