On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]
The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...

Coseismic Deformation From Earthquake Faulting On A Layered Spherical Earth [PDF]
SUMMARY A method for calculating the static displacement field following earthquake faulting in a layered spherical earth is presented. At shallow levels, the Earth’s layering is characterized by sharp jumps in bulk and shear moduli at the Conrad discontinuity and the Moho and is therefore important to consider when evaluating crustal deformation.

Persistent termini of 2004- and 2005-like ruptures of the Sunda megathrust [PDF]
To gain insight into the longevity of subduction zone segmentation, we use coral microatolls to examine an 1100-year record of large earthquakes across the boundary of the great 2004 and 2005 Sunda megathrust ruptures.

Geodetic, teleseismic, and strong motion constraints on slip from recent southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes [PDF]
We use seismic and geodetic data both jointly and separately to constrain coseismic slip from the 12 November 1996 M_w 7.7 and 23 June 2001 M_w 8.5 southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes, as well as two large aftershocks following the 2001 earthquake ...

Deformation Features of Coseismic Surface Rupture
The term coseismic surface rupture is defined as a surface fracture produced by a current or large historic earthquake. The term is interchangeable with surface earthquake fault and earthquake fault in Japan, which is enhanced for the topographic morphology and geometry of surface fractures formed during large earthquakes [Research Group for Active ...

Coseismic deformation due to the 2007 Chuetsu-oki earthquake (Mw= 6.8) [PDF]
AbstractGlobal Positioning System (GPS) and Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) detected substantial ground deformation due to the 2007 Chuetsu-oki earthquake (Mw= 6.8); GPS observation detected a horizontal deformation of up to about 170 mm and subsidence of up to 30 mm, and InSAR detected up to 290 mm of line-of-sight changes.

Pseudotachylytes and cataclasites record transient seismic slips within the brittle–ductile transition zone and ductile flow layers. Investigating the mechanisms of pseudotachylytes can provide the most direct geological evidence for revealing seismic ...

Fast, accurate solutions for curvilinear earthquake faults and anelastic strain [PDF]
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

Interseismic coupling and seismic potential along the Central Andes subduction zone [PDF]
We use about two decades of geodetic measurements to characterize interseismic strain build up along the Central Andes subduction zone from Lima, Peru, to Antofagasta, Chile.
