High-Detail Fault Segmentation: Deep Insight into the Anatomy of the 1983 Borah Peak Earthquake Rupture Zone (Mw 6.9, Idaho, USA)

Lithosphere, 2022
Following observations made in a survey campaign along the Lost River Fault (Idaho, USA) in 2019, we integrate both original and previously published data to obtain a detailed segmentation of the fault sections that failed in the 1983 Borah Peak ...

Forecasting Cascading and Compounding Flood Risk From Earthquake‐Induced Ground Deformation

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Large earthquakes can disrupt river systems and produce abrupt, unforeseen changes in flood risk. Forward modelling of earthquake‐related surface deformation and its influence on inundation extent, depth, and frequency enables pre‐emptive assessment of exposure to this compound hazard.

Investigating an Earthquake Surface Rupture Along the Kumysh Fault (Eastern Tianshan, Central Asia) from High-Resolution Topographic Data

Remote Sensing
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 ...

Kinematic Slip Evolution During the 2022 Ms 6.8 Luding, China, Earthquake: Compatible With the Preseismic Locked Patch

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The September 2022 Ms 6.8 Luding earthquake broke more than 230 years of seismic calm on the Moxi fault, providing a unique opportunity to understand its seismogenic environment, rupture dynamics, and seismic hazard.

Three‐Dimensional Resistivity Imaging Constrains Crustal Heterogeneity Beneath the 2010 Yushu Ms 7.1 Earthquake Rupture

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract The 2010 Yushu (eastern Tibetan Plateau) Ms 7.1 strike‐slip earthquake ruptured unilaterally toward the southeast but left a hypocentral segment without mapped surface rupture, followed by a two‐stage reorganization of aftershocks. We present a 3‐D electrical resistivity model from 70 quality‐controlled magnetotelluric sites acquired shortly ...

The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning in characterizing active tectonic processes from postseismic slip to the long term growth of normal faults [PDF]

, 2012
This thesis investigates two main hypotheses regarding uncertainty in the measurement of paleoseismic offsets used to estimate fault activity and paleoearthquake magnitudes on normal faults: (1) That variations in fault geometry have a significant effect

Discussion on the latest surface ruptures near the Zhonggu village along the Selaha segment of the Xianshuihe fault zone

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
The Selaha segment of the Xianshuihe fault zone was the seismogenic fault of the 2014 Kangding MS 6.3 earthquake. This segment has been considered as one of the most dangerous areas for surface rupture-induced earthquakes with a magnitude of M≥7 due to ...

Do Shallow Slip Deficits Reflect Fault Structural Maturity or Modeling Choices? A Comparative Analysis of Tibetan Strike‐Slip Earthquakes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract InSAR‐constrained finite fault slip models are often used to characterize fault geometries and slip distributions of large continental earthquakes. A common feature of these models is a decrease in slip near the surface, commonly expressed as a percentage shallow slip deficit (SSD).

Structural controls on Coseismic rupture revealed by the 2020 Mw 6.0 Jiashi earthquake (Kepingtag belt, SW Tien Shan, China) [PDF]

, 2022
The Kepingtag (Kalpin) fold-and-thrust belt of the southern Chinese Tian Shan is characterized by active shortening and intense seismic activity. Geological cross-sections and seismic reflection profiles suggest thin-skinned, northward-dipping thrust ...

Dueling dynamics of low-angle normal fault rupture with splay faulting and off-fault damage

Nature Communications, 2023
Despite a lack of modern large earthquakes on shallowly dipping normal faults, Holocene Mw > 7 low-angle normal fault (LANF ...
