Interseismic Strain Accumulation and Partitioning in Hispaniola From GNSS and InSAR
Abstract We combine GNSS and InSAR observations to constrain the spatial distribution of strain across the northeastern Caribbean plate boundary, focusing on Hispaniola, to investigate strain partitioning and fault slip rates in an actively deforming tectonic setting with significant seismic hazard.

Competing Effects of Elastic Heterogeneity and Viscous Flow on Interseismic Coupling at Cascadia
Abstract Interseismic coupling maps are important tools for estimating future earthquake hazard at subduction zones. Often interseismic coupling is estimated from surface velocities using a homogeneous elastic Earth model. However, inversions that incorporate viscoelastic mantle flow or elastic heterogeneity show that each can change the spatial ...

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity
Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

Stima della potenza dissipata per attrito durante i terremoti: confronto tra faglie sperimentali e naturali. = Estimate of frictional seismic power dissipation from natural and experimental faults. [PDF]
In the last decades, several approaches were applied to understand the physics of seismic faulting. In the field, the recognition of pseudotachylytes (solidified friction melts produced during seismic slip) which record seismic ruptures along a fault ...

This study investigates the effect of incorporating the Devil's Mountain Fault (DMF) and its interaction with the Leech River Valley Fault (LRVF) on the elastic surface deformation hazard in and near the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Previously, the surface deformation hazard of the region has been characterized by considering the LRVF ...

Constraining Shear Strength of Fault Damage Zone Using Geodetic Data and Numerical Simulation
Shear strength of damage zone, representing the stress threshold for rupture initiation, is a critical parameter in faulting mechanics. Despite its significance, the damage‐zone's shear strength has not been estimated in natural earthquake ruptures. Here

New 2010 Maule Aftershock Catalog Reveals Structure of the Deep Subduction Interface
Abstract On 27 February 2010, a Mw 8.8 earthquake occurred near Maule in south‐central Chile. The subsequent rapid deployment of a dense network of seismic stations on land was able to capture the first year of its aftershock sequence. Here, we revisit this data set using picking Artificial Intelligence tools, a 3D velocity model of the region and ...
