Indonesia archipelago is one of the most populated country with active and complex tectonic zone in the world. Plate boundaries were assembled by four major plate which made the region not only vulnerable to earth-hazard but also prone to semi-dynamic ...

Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]
The seismic cycle on a major fault involves long periods of elastic strain and stress accumulation, driven by aseismic ductile deformation at depth, ultimately released by sudden fault slip events. Coseismic slip distributions are generally heterogeneous

Partial Ruptures, Cascading Multi‐Fault Ruptures, and Aftershocks in 2D Random Fault Network
Abstract The Gutenberg‐Richter law for the distribution of earthquake magnitude and the Omori law for the decay of aftershocks are two universal laws in seismicity. Although numerical models have been developed to reproduce these laws, they sometimes produce many more foreshocks and fewer aftershocks than observed.

The north-south convergence and east-west extension of the Tibet Plateau are accommodated by a series of active strike-slip and normal faults, and normal-fault earthquakes are very active in the plateau. During 2020 to 2021, there were three normal-fault

Superficial simplicity of the 2010 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake of Baja California in Mexico [PDF]
The geometry of faults is usually thought to be more complicated at the surface than at depth and to control the initiation, propagation and arrest of seismic ruptures.

Trench‐Breaching Rupture of the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake and How It Repeats the 1952 Event
Abstract The 29 July 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake generated a trans‐Pacific tsunami. The hypocenter was nearly at the same location as the 1952 great earthquake (Mw 8.8–9.0). Determining whether the 2025 rupture reached the trench and how it relates to the 1952 event is crucial for understanding slip behavior along the Kamchatka subduction zone. We

Abstract The July 2025 Kamchatka earthquake (Mw 8.8) generated Pacific‐wide tsunamis. Inversion of 40 DART bottom pressure records revealed a large (∼9 m) slip at 200–400 km southwest of the epicenter. This model reproduces the local geodetic data, and is similar to other finite fault models based on teleseismic and geodetic data. Inversion of the tide

Geometry, kinematics and rates of deformation in a normal fault segment boundary, central Greece [PDF]
The geometry, kinematics and rates of deformation within a fault segment boundary between the ends of two major active normal fault segments have been investigated through examination of a faulted 126 ka marine terrace.

Limitations of earthquake coseismic deformation measurements using InSAR
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is commonly used to measure earthquake coseismic deformation. However, InSAR cannot be used to effectively measure all types of coseismic deformation, and it is influenced by numerous factors. Currently, for the limitations of InSAR coseismic deformation measurement, only empirical judgements are used to
