Effects of Depth of Fault Slip and Continental Shelf Geometry on the Generation of Anomalously Long‐Period Tsunami by the July 2020 Mw 7.8 Shumagin (Alaska) Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The July 2020 Mw 7.8 Shumagin earthquake occurred in the seismic gap region along the Aleutian subduction zone. This interplate earthquake generated a small tsunami, but with unusual long‐period waves ranging between 40 and 90 min.

Numerical simulations to explain the coseismic electromagnetic signals: a case study for a M5.4 aftershock of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake

Earth, Planets and Space, 2019
Coseismic electromagnetic (EM) signals that appear from the P arrival were observed in a volcanic area during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. In this study, we conduct numerical simulations to explain the coseismic EM signals observed for a M5.4 aftershock

InSAR-constrained parallel elastic finite element models for fault coseismic dislocation inversion: a case study of the 2016 MW 5.9 Menyuan earthquake

Frontiers in Earth Science
The study of fault coseismic dislocation distribution is crucial for understanding fault stress release, fault sliding behavior, and surface deformation during seismic events.

Heterogeneous Fault Mechanisms of the 6 October 2008 MW 6.3 Dangxiong (Tibet) Earthquake Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Observations

Remote Sensing, 2016
Most current crustal deformation models do not account for topographic effects, crustal lateral variations, and complex fault geometries. To overcome these limitations, we apply finite element models constrained by interferometric Synthetic Aperture ...

A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

Influences of across-strike heterogeneous viscosity on the earthquake cycle in a three-dimensional strike-slip fault model

Earthquake Research Advances, 2023
Geodetic observations have shown that there exist large differences in the viscosity of the deep lithosphere across many large strike-slip faults. Heterogeneity in lithospheric viscosity structure can influence the efficiency of stress transfer and thus ...

Dimensionality Reduction Techniques for Analyzing Tsunami Simulations in Hazard Assessment and Forecasting Applications

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract A wide selection of linear and non‐linear dimensionality reduction techniques is evaluated on synthetic tsunami data that is the basis for tsunami hazard assessment and computational forecasting. The data were computed from earthquake rupture forecasts (ERFs) supplying initial generation conditions and a linear long‐wave Green's function ...

Liquefaction-induced large-scale ground deformation triggered by the 7 January 2025 MS 6.8 Dingri earthquake: characteristics and formation mechanisms

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  In liquefaction-susceptible geological settings, the spatial superimposition of earthquake-induced liquefaction and coseismic fault rupture renders the genetic attribution of surface deformation highly ambiguous, yet systematic field ...

Quantifying the Role of 3D Fault Geometry Complexities on Slow and Fast Earthquakes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Traditional models of slow slip events (SSEs) oversimplify fault geometry, although imaging shows subduction faults are segmented and complex. We examine how fault interactions control slip behavior using 3D quasi‐dynamic simulations of two parallel faults with uniform rate‐weakening friction accelerated by hierarchical matrices.

Along‐Strike Coupling Heterogeneity in Cascadia's Slow‐Slip Zone Constrained by GNSS and Reduced‐Order Rate‐And‐State Friction Modeling

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Slow slip events (SSEs) in the Cascadia subduction zone exhibit along‐strike segmentation, where the central segment has longer recurrence intervals but smaller moments. We quantify the controls on this variability by combining geodetic inter‐SSE coupling inversion with Bayesian inference of a quasi‐dynamic rate‐and‐state friction SSE‐cycle ...
