Compositional, mechanical and transport properties of carbonate fault rocks and the seismic cycle in limestone terrains: A case study of surface exposures on the Longmenshan Fault, Sichuan, China [PDF]

, 2015
Destructive earthquakes are common in tectonically active regions dominated by carbonate cover rocks. The catastrophic Wenchuan earthquake that struck Sichuan, China, also affected a section of carbonate cover terrain.

Coseismic Surface Deformation from Senltinel-1 Pixel Olfset Tracking of the 2025 Myanmar Mw 7.9 Earthquake

This dataset contains pixel offset tracking results derived from Sentinel-1 SAR imagery for the Mw 7.9 earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025. The data were obtained from ascending tracks T070 and T143, and descending tracks T033 and T106, covering the southern segment of the Sagaing Fault—the primary rupture zone of the earthquake.

Rapid mantle flow with power-law creep explains deformation after the 2011 Tohoku mega-quake

Nature Communications, 2019
Large subduction zone earthquakes like the M 9.0 Tohoku earthquake of 2011 are followed by transient surface deformation. Here, the authors show this to be caused by rapid flow taking place in the asthenosphere due to temporarily decreased viscosity ...

A 3D finite-element mesh for modeling large-scale surface deformation induced by subduction megathrust earthquakes: Application to Chile

Seismica
Megaearthquakes (Mw > 8) cause continental-scale, long-lasting surface deformation, mainly due to viscoelastic relaxation of the asthenosphere. To investigate the links between this deformation and the slip history along subduction interfaces—including ...

Coseismic Surface deformation and Coulomb Static Failure Stresses change Modeling of 2024 Mw 7 Uqturpan earthquake, China

Abstract Knowledge of the earthquakes along the active tectonic structure is fundamental to comprehend the mechanics of continental plates margins and to approximate the earthquake potential in tectonic settings of area of interest. On 22nd January, 2024, an earthquake with magnitude Mw 7 struck in the area located 136 km west of Aksu, China ...
