Active tectonics and strong earthquakes: A preface for the special issue [PDF]

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Active tectonics is not only the manifestation of the latest crustal activity but also the leading cause of strong earthquakes. With its complex active tectonic system, China has become an area with particularly severe seismic activity and related ...

Geospatial assessment of active tectonics using SRTM DEM-based morphometric approach for Meghalaya, India

All Earth, 2022
Meghalaya, situated over the Shillong Plateau in the northeastern region of India, is considered a seismo-tectonically active region because of the Indian-Eurasian convergence and rising since the Cenozoic era.

Surface Rupture and Slip Distribution along the Zheduotang Fault in the Kangding Section of the Xianshuihe Fault Zone

Lithosphere, 2022
The Zheduotang fault (ZDTF) is located in the Kangding section of the Xianshuihe fault zone (XSHF). While the ZDTF plays an essential role in understanding the structural deformation pattern of the Kangding section.

Near-surface termination of upward-propagating strike-slip ruptures on the Yangsan Fault, Korea

Scientific Reports, 2023
We present a new example of the termination of strike-slip paleoearthquake ruptures in near-surface regions on the Yangsan Fault, Korea, based on multi-scale structural observations.

Active tectonics of the Yogyakarta area (Central Java, Indonesia): preliminary findings obtained from a tectonic-geomorphic evaluation

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2021
Throughout the island of Java, several shallow faults located in the vicinity of densely populated areas accommodate the tectonic strain generated by the subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath the Sunda Plate. These faults are characterized by a

Fit-for-Purpose Approach for the Detection and Analysis of Earthquake Surface Ruptures Using Satellite Images

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023
Coseismic surface ruptures are the ground truth of earthquake rupture along faults, and detailed mapping of earthquake surface ruptures provides an opportunity to understand the relationship between earthquakes and faults. One of the most effective tools
