Evidence of Localized Failure Along Altered Basaltic Blocks in Tectonic Mélange at the Updip Limit of the Seismogenic Zone: Implications for the Shallow Slow Earthquake Source

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Field studies have led to several interpretations on the mechanics behind slow earthquake phenomena downdip of the seismogenic zone. To date, field studies have not examined the shallow subduction interface which may also host slow earthquake phenomena ...

The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

Seismicity from february 2006 to september 2007 at the Rwenzori Mountains, East African Rift: earthquake distribution, magnitudes and source mechanisms [PDF]

, 2012
We have analysed the microseismic activity within the Rwenzori Mountains area in the western branch of the East African Rift. Seismogram recordings from a temporary array of up to 27 stations reveal approximately 800 events per month with local ...

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Probabilistic prediction of rate‐dependent rock strength using natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Probabilistic natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression models accurately predict rate‐dependent rock strength across lithologies. Static strength and strain rate dominate, while geometric factors have minimal influence, enabling interpretable and uncertainty‐aware predictions for dynamic geomechanical applications. Abstract The dynamic

Strike-slip fault terminations at seismogenic depths : the structure and kinematics of the Glacier Lakes fault, Sierra Nevada United States

, 2008
Structural complexity is common at the terminations of earthquake surface ruptures; similar deformation may therefore be expected at the end zones of earthquake ruptures at depth.

Effects of Pore Fluid Properties on Dynamic Slip in Sandstone‐Derived Fault Gouges From the Groningen Gas Reservoir

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The dynamic slip behavior of faults is strongly influenced by the thermal and hydraulic properties of pore fluids, which control thermal pressurization (TP) during seismic slip. While previous experiments showed significant TP‐induced weakening in DI‐water‐saturated Groningen sandstone gouges, in situ fluids are brine or brine–gas mixtures ...

Observational Evidence of a Very‐Low‐Frequency Earthquake (Mw 3.8) Leading to an Earthquake (Mw 4.2): Minto Flats Strike‐Slip Fault Zone, Central Alaska

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The physical conditions governing earthquake initiation are largely unknown, particularly in the minutes to seconds preceding rupture. While there is geodetic and seismic evidence of precursory activity in the hours to weeks prior to large earthquakes, the observational evidence immediately preceding the earthquake rupture is limited and ...
