VanWormer, J.D., Gedney, L.D., Davies, J.N. and Condal, N. (1975). V_p/V_s and b-values: A test of the dilatancy model for earthquake precursors. Geophysical Research Letters 2: doi: 10.1029/GL002i011p00514. issn: 0094-8276.

Three days prior to a magnitude 3.0 earthquake near Fairbanks, Alaska, the b-value began to decrease, reaching a statistically significant minimum one day before the event. This decrease in b-value is in accord with the dilatancy model for earthquake occurrence. Changes in Vp/Vs would have been only marginally detectable with the data available.
