Coseismic Rupture and Postseismic Afterslip of the 2020 Nima Mw 6.4 Earthquake

Remote Sensing
On 22 July 2020, an Mw 6.4 earthquake occurred in Nima County in the Qiangtang Terrane of the central Tibetan Plateau. This event, caused by normal faulting, remains controversial in terms of its rupture process and causative fault due to the complex ...

Seismic Versus Sub‐Seismic Experimental Mirror‐Like Fault Surfaces in Bituminous Dolostones

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Mirror‐like Surfaces (MSs) are ultra‐polished surfaces frequently found in exhumed seismogenic fault zones in carbonates. They form over a wide range of pressure‐temperature conditions and slip rates, from seismic (≈1 m/s) to sub‐seismic (≈0.1–100 μm/s), reflecting distinct phases of the seismic cycle.

Estimation of Far-field Coseismic Deformation Caused by the Recent Giant Earthquakes

, 2017
: In this paper, we estimate coseismic displacements in Vietnam caused by the 2004 Sumatra and the 2011 Tohoku earthquakes using static fault models in a layered spherical earth model.

Fault‐Related Carbonates as Quaternary Seismotectonic and Paleoclimate Archives (Monte Marine Fault, Central Apennines)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Seismogenic faults shape continental landscapes, drive crustal deformation and influence fluid exchange between the lithosphere and atmosphere. Yet, quantitative links between fault activity, exhumation and near‐surface environmental evolution remain poorly understood. Here, structural (meso‐ and micro‐scale) investigations are integrated with

Earthquakes and the Metamorphic Sole of the Tinos Ophiolite, Cyclades, Greece

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We analyze deformation fabrics, compositions of melts, metamorphic temperatures, and paleopiezometric data beneath the Tsiknias Thrust, Tinos, Greece, which formed part of the plate boundary that, in Late‐Cretaceous time, absorbed convergence between Africa and Europe associated with final closure of the Vardar Ocean.

Constraints on the Geometry and Frictional Properties of the Main Himalayan Thrust Using Coseismic, Postseismic, and Interseismic Deformation in Nepal [PDF]

, 2020
The geometry and frictional properties of a fault system are key parameters required to understand its seismic behavior. The Main Himalayan Thrust in Nepal is the type example of a continental megathrust and forms part of a fault system which ...

Tectonic Model of the 2021 Haiti Earthquake Based on a Newly‐Formed Strike‐Slip Bypass Fault Across a Paired Restraining‐Releasing Bend

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract On 14 August 2021, the southern peninsula of Haiti was struck by an Mw 7.2 earthquake that killed more than 2,200 people. The 2021 epicenter is located 95 km west of the Mw 7.0 2010 Haiti earthquake and 7 km north of the main, geomorphic trace of the EW‐striking, left‐lateral strike‐slip Enriquillo‐Plantain Garden fault zone (EPGFZ) that forms

Effects of Bulk Poroelasticity on Repeating Earthquake Sequences: Insights From Numerical Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract At seismogenic depths, faults and the surrounding rock are saturated with water. Fault slip induces volumetric strains in the bulk, causing compression or dilation of pore fluid, which alters pore pressure—a phenomenon known as the poroelastic effect. This pore pressure change can, in turn, influence fault slip behavior.
