Impact of multiscale heterogeneities on the nucleation of earthquakes

Earthquake nucleation is traditionally described using cascading or slow pre-slip models. In the latter, nucleation occurs as the sudden transition from quasi-static slip growth to dynamic rupture propagation. This typically occurs when a region of the fault of critical size Lc, often called nucleation length, is sliding.

Seismological evidence for the nucleation of two strong earthquakes

Izvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth, 2008
The structure of seismicity before the Kronotskii (1997) and Simushir (2006) earthquakes off Russian shores is studied. Different algorithms are applied to the identification of seismic quiescence, seismicity activation, and clustering of seismic events.

Strong asperities nucleate earthquakes on laboratory faults

Geology
Abstract Abundant heterogeneity has been documented on faults in nature across a wide range of length scales, including structural, mineralogical, and roughness variations. The role of complex heterogeneity on fault mechanics and frictional stability is not well established, and experiments investigating heterogeneity have typically ...
