As direct geomorphic evidence and records of earthquakes on the surface, coseismic surface ruptures have long been a key focus in earthquake research. However, compared with strike-slip and normal faults, studies on reverse-fault surface ruptures remain ...

Discrete Element Modeling of Near-Surface Fault Rupture Evolution Along the Milun Fault in Taiwan
Understanding the shallow rupture mechanisms on coseismic faults and assessing the influence of fault area propagation is essential for disaster prevention.

Pre‐Existing Off‐Fault Damage Can Impede Coseismic On‐Fault Slip
Primarily due to the scarce direct field evidence along a same fault, understanding the relationship between the pre‐existing off‐fault damage and coseismic slip distribution remains challenging.

Coseismic river avulsion on surface rupturing faults: Assessing earthquake-induced flood hazard
Surface-rupturing earthquakes can produce fault displacements that abruptly alter the established course of rivers. Several notable examples of fault rupture–induced river avulsions (FIRAs) have been documented, yet the factors influencing these phenomena have not been examined in detail.

The depth of pseudotachylyte formation from detailed thermochronology and constraints on coseismic stress drop variability [PDF]
Pseudotachylytes are accepted as recording paleo-seismicity in the rock record. However, the interpretation of the mechanics of faulting based on pseudotachylyte generation is often hindered because the depth at which they form is poorly constrained ...

Sedimentary record of coseismic subsidence in Hersek coastal lagoon (Izmit Bay, Turkey) and the late Holocene activity of the North Anatolian Fault [PDF]
This research was funded by the European Union in the framework of the REL.I.E.F. (Reliable Information on Earthquake Faulting) project (EVG1‐CT‐2002‐00069).

Slip distributions on active normal faults measured from LiDAR and field mapping of geomorphic offsets: an example from L'Aquila, Italy, and implications for modelling seismic moment release [PDF]
Surface slip distributions for an active normal fault in central Italy have been measured using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), in order to assess the impact of changes in fault orientation and kinematics when modelling subsurface slip distributions ...

Coseismic surface deformation from air photos: The Kickapoo step over in the 1992 Landers rupture [PDF]
Coseismic deformation of the ground can be measured from aerial views taken before and after an earthquake. We chose the area of the Kickapoo‐Landers step over along the 1992 Landers earthquake zone, using air photos (scale 1:40,000) scanned at 0.4 m resolution.

The 2010 MW 6.8 Yushu (Qinghai, China) earthquake: constraints provided by InSAR and body wave seismology [PDF]
By combining observations from satellite radar, body wave seismology and optical imagery, we have determined the fault segmentation and sequence of ruptures for the 2010 Mw 6.8 Yushu (China) earthquake. We have mapped the fault trace using displacements
