Geophysical 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 ...

Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]
, 2004 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

Coseismic growth of sedimentary basins along the Yammouneh strike-slip fault (Lebanon) [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2008 SUMMARY The left-lateral Yammouneh fault (YF) is the main active branch of the Dead Sea Transform Fault (DSTF) within the Lebanese restraining bend. Despite the overall transpressional setting, a series of sedimentary basins have developed along the trace of the YF. Consequently, palaeoseismic studies within these basins provide an opportunity to study

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 On August 8, 2017, the Jiuzhaigou Mw 6.5 earthquake occurred in Sichuan province, southwestern China, along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The epicenter is surrounded by the Minjiang, Huya, and Tazang Faults.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Swarms are microearthquake clusters governed by aseismic deformation, fluid migration, and stress changes, but the underlying mechanisms for their recurrence remain elusive. In 2008, abundant swarms were observed on the westernmost Gofar transform fault.

Quantifying offshore fore-arc deformation and splay-fault slip using drowned Pleistocene shorelines, Arauco Bay, Chile [PDF]
, 2017 Indexación: Web of Science; Scopus.Most of the deformation associated with the seismic cycle in subduction zones occurs offshore and has been therefore difficult to quantify with direct observations at millennial timescales.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract We investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of foreshocks preceding the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake by applying single‐station analysis to waveforms recorded at the nearest seismic station. Our results reveal a southwestward migration of foreshocks toward the mainshock epicenter through multiple stages, with a migration speed of ∼7.0 km ...

Persistent termini of 2004- and 2005-like ruptures of the Sunda megathrust [PDF]
, 2012 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.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract The Yingxiu–Beichuan Fault Zone (YBFZ), located in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt (LSTB) on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, is highly seismically active. However, direct evidence of large earthquakes at depth is scarce. Here, we present rock magnetic, microstructural, and geochemical analyses of four fault zones from the Wenchuan Earthquake Fault ...

Post-seismic and interseismic fault creep I: model description [PDF]
, 2010 We present a model of localized, aseismic fault creep during the full interseismic period, including both transient and steady fault creep, in response to a sequence of imposed coseismic slip events and tectonic loading.
