GLOBAL RISK OF BIG EARTHQUAKES HAS NOT RECENTLY INCREASED (2012)

The recent elevated rate of large earthquakes has fueled concern that the underlying global rate of earthquake activity has increased, which would have important implications for assessments of seismic hazard and our understanding of how faults interact. We examine the timing of large (magnitude M 7) earthquakes from 1900 to the present, after removing local clustering related to aftershocks.
