Dynamics of a velocity strengthening fault region: Implications for slow earthquakes and postseismic slip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We consider the effect of permanent stress changes on a velocity strengthening rate-and-state fault, through numerical simulations and analytical results on 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D models.

Kinematic GNSS inversion of the large afterslip (Mw 6.4) following the 2019 Mw 6.2 Hualien earthquake (Taiwan)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The postseismic deformation following the April 2019 Mw 6.2 Hualien earthquake presents an unique opportunity to investigate the mechanisms by which the northern section of the Longitudinal Valley accommodates lithospheric deformation.

Stress Transfer From Slow Slip Events to Earthquake Swarms as a Cycle in the Southernmost Ryukyu Subduction Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Recent megathrust earthquakes preceded by slow slip events highlight static stress transfer as a key triggering mechanism. However, there are limited insights into the interplay between static stress transfer and elevated fluid pressure before earthquake triggering.

A Transient in Surface Motions Dominated by Deep Afterslip Subsequent to a Shallow Supershear Earthquake: The 2018 Mw7.5 Palu Case

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The 2018 Mw7.5 Palu earthquake is a remarkable strike‐slip event due to its nature as a shallow supershear fault rupture across several segments and a destructive tsunami that followed coseismic deformation. GPS offsets in the wake of the 2018 earthquake

Mainshock‐Induced Stress Changes Modulate Initial Aftershocks on Complex Branching Faults of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Large earthquakes can activate complex aftershock fault networks. In such systems, what controls the spatiotemporal evolution of early aftershocks remains a critical yet unresolved problem. Here, using the 2019 M 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake as an example, we partition the first 10 days of aftershocks onto 15 branching faults activated by the ...

Early aftershocks and afterslip surrounding the 2015 Mw 8.4 Illapel rupture [PDF]

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2017
On 16 September 2015, the Mw 8.4 Illapel earthquake ruptured a section of the subduction thrust on the west coast of central Chile. The mainshock was followed by numerous aftershocks including some normal-faulting events near the trench. We apply a template matching approach to improve the completeness of early aftershocks within one month of the ...

Aftershock production rate of driven viscoelastic interfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study analytically and by numerical simulations the statistics of the aftershocks generated after large avalanches in models of interface depinning that include viscoelastic relaxation effects.

Temporal changes in surface afterslip along the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake rupture revealed by repeated field surveys

open access: yesSeismica
Surface afterslip can persist over several years, with displacements reaching tens of centimeters. Such deformations can damage structures, making it crucial to understand their temporal changes for effective post-earthquake reconstruction.
