Frictional Stabilities on Induced Earthquake Fault Planes at Fox Creek, Alberta: A Pore Fluid Pressure Dilemma

, 2019
Earthquakes induced during hydraulic fracturing operations have occurred in a number of locales. However, in-situ studies aimed to discern the triggering mechanism remains exclusively statistical in their nature.

High resolution 3D laser scanner measurements of a strike-slip fault quantify its morphological anisotropy at all scales [PDF]

, 2006
The surface roughness of a recently exhumed strikeslip fault plane has been measured by three independent 3D portable laser scanners. Digital elevation models of several fault surface areas, from 1 m2 to 600 m2, have been measured at a resolution ranging

On the Application of 1 Versus 2 State Variable Rate‐and‐State Friction Laws: An Example From the Nankai Trough Megasplay Fault Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Frictional slip behavior in fault zones can be analyzed with friction laws using 1 or 2 state variables, but the physical meaning and applicability of the 2‐state variable form of the law remain unclear. Here, we re‐analyze friction experiments by Roesner et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623‐022‐01728‐w) using a natural sample from the

Ground motion scenarios for the 1997 Colfiorito, central Italy, earthquake

Annals of Geophysics, 2008
In this paper we report the results of several investigations aimed at evaluating ground motion scenarios for the September 26th, 1997 Colfiorito earthquake (Mw 6.0, 09:40 UTC).

Crack-Like Processes Governing the Onset of Frictional Slip

, 2006
We perform real-time measurements of the net contact area between two blocks of like material at the onset of frictional slip. We show that the process of interface detachment, which immediately precedes the inception of frictional sliding, is governed ...

Hydro‐Mechanical Controls on Swarm Recurrence on the Westernmost Gofar Transform Fault, East Pacific Rise

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Swarms are microearthquake clusters governed by aseismic deformation, fluid migration, and stress changes, but the underlying mechanisms for their recurrence remain elusive. In 2008, abundant swarms were observed on the westernmost Gofar transform fault.

Non-monotonicity of the frictional bimaterial effect

, 2017
Sliding along frictional interfaces separating dissimilar elastic materials is qualitatively different from sliding along interfaces separating identical materials due to the existence of an elastodynamic coupling between interfacial slip and normal ...

Foreshock Migration Preceding the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake: Insights From Single‐Station Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract We investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of foreshocks preceding the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake by applying single‐station analysis to waveforms recorded at the nearest seismic station. Our results reveal a southwestward migration of foreshocks toward the mainshock epicenter through multiple stages, with a migration speed of ∼7.0 km ...
