Thermally Activated Static Friction Can Explain Earthquake Interactions
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Unlike meteorological hazards, tectonic earthquakes remain hardly predictable, reinforcing their deadly character. This relates to an out‐of‐equilibrium, intermittent dynamic associated with a strong time asymmetry, with few and non‐systematic foreshocks sometimes preceding large earthquakes, while aftershocks are ubiquitous and have been ...

A unified continuum representation of post-seismic relaxation mechanisms: semi-analytic models of afterslip, poroelastic rebound and viscoelastic flow [PDF]
, 2010 We present a unified continuum mechanics representation of the mechanisms believed to be commonly involved in post-seismic transients such as viscoelasticity, fault creep and poroelasticity.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract In Guatemala, the Cocos, North American, and Caribbean plates interact to create a region of high seismic risk. Previous analyses of crustal faults in the country have been overly simplified, creating discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rate models.

Fast, accurate solutions for curvilinear earthquake faults and anelastic strain [PDF]
, 2018 Imaging the anelastic deformation within the crust and lithosphere using surface geophysical data remains a significant challenge in part due to the wide range of physical processes operating at different depths and to various levels of localization that

Testing earthquake links in Mexico from 1978 to the 2017 M = 8.1 Chiapas and M = 7.1 Puebla Shocks [PDF]
, 2018 The M = 8.1 Chiapas and the M = 7.1 Puebla earthquakes occurred in the bending part of the subducting Cocos plate 11 days and ~600 km apart, a range that puts them well outside the typical aftershock zone.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract We re‐examine the aftershock sequence of the Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake in south‐central Chile to understand how seismicity, magnitude‐frequency distribution, and fault structure vary along the rupture zone. Using the International Maule Aftershock Deployment (IMAD) data set, we analyze 10 months of continuous data from approximately 156 ...

Spectral-element modeling of spontaneous earthquake rupture on rate and state faults: Effect of velocity-strengthening friction at shallow depths [PDF]
, 2008 We develop a spectral-element methodology (SEM) for simulating dynamic rupture on rate and state faults and use it to study how the rupture is affected by a shallow fault region of steady-state velocity-strengthening friction.

Afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation following the 1999M7.4 İzmit earthquake from GPS measurements [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2009 SUMMARY Intensive global positioning system (GPS) monitoring after the 1999 Izmit earthquake provides an opportunity to understand the postseismic behaviour of a strike-slip fault and the rheology below the brittle upper crust. Two data sets are available: displacements measured during the first 300 days after the Izmit earthquake and velocity ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Monitoring tectonic tremors is crucial for understanding stress release in subduction zones and assessing megathrust earthquake risk. The Hyuga‐nada region, at the western edge of the Nankai Trough, Japan, provides a natural laboratory for investigating links among slow earthquakes, megathrust events, and complex subduction structures.
