Earthquake Damage Patterns Resolve Complex Rupture Processes [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 AbstractFracture damage patterns around faults induced by dynamic earthquake rupture are an invaluable record to clarify the rupture process on complex fault networks. The 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake in New Zealand has been reported as one of the most complex earthquakes ever documented that ruptured at least 15 crustal faults.

Earthquake lights and rupture processes [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2005 Abstract. A physical model of earthquake lights is proposed. It is suggested that the magnetic diffusion from the electric and magnetic fields source region is a dominant process, explaining rather high localization of the light flashes. A 3D numerical code allowing to take into account the arbitrary distribution of currents caused by ground motion ...

Irregular rupture process of the 2022 Taitung, Taiwan, earthquake sequence
Scientific Reports, 2022 Abstract In September 2022, two destructive earthquakes of moment magnitude ( M w ) 6.6 (foreshock) and 7.1 (mainshock) occurred in Taitung County, south-eastern Taiwan.

A Synthesis of Fracture, Friction and Damage Processes in Earthquake Rupture Zones
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2022 AbstractWe review properties and processes of earthquake rupture zones based on field studies, laboratory observations, theoretical models and simulations, with the goal of assessing the possible dominance of different processes in different parts of the rupture and validity of commonly used models.

Rupture Process of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake
Science, 2005 The 26 December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake initiated slowly, with small slip and a slow rupture speed for the first 40 to 60 seconds. Then the rupture expanded at a speed of about 2.5 kilometers per second toward the north northwest, extending 1200 to 1300 kilometers along the Andaman trough.

Unusual rupture process of the Japan Sea earthquake [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1993 On July 12, 1993, a large earthquake and associated tsunami caused terrible damage to the Japan Sea side of Japan, Korea, and Russia. The southwestern shore of Hokkaido and Okushiri Island were particularly hard hit. All aspects of this earthquake will undoubtedly be studied in great detail.

Rupture process of large earthquakes in the northern Mexico subduction zone [PDF]
pure and applied geophysics, 1994 The Cocos plate subducts beneath North America at the Mexico trench. The northernmost segment of this trench, between the Orozco and Rivera fracture zones, has ruptured in a sequence of five large earthquakes from 1973 to 1985: the Jan. 30, 1973 Colima event (M s 7.5) at the northern end of the segment near Rivera fracture zone; the Mar.

Rupture Process of Subduction-Zone Earthquakes [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1986 This review is primarily concerned with the rupture process of large subduction-zone earthquakes determined by various seismological methods, and with its interpretation in terms of an asperity model. It is not possible to make a thorough and extensive review on the subject because of the limited length.

Rupture processes of the 2013–2014 Minab earthquake sequence, Iran [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2018 We constrain epicentroid locations, magnitudes and depths of moderate-magnitude earthquakes in the 2013-2014 Minab sequence using surface-wave cross-correlations, surfacewave spectra and teleseismic body-wave modelling. We estimate precise relative locations of 54 Mw ≥ 3.8 earthquakes using 48 409 teleseismic, intermediate-period Rayleigh and Lovewave ...

The 2016 Menyuan Earthquake: The Largest Self‐Arrested Crustal Earthquake Ever Observed
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The 2016 Mw 5.9 Menyuan earthquake occurred near the Haiyuan fault system in the northeastern Tibetan plateau. Although some kinematic properties of this event have been investigated, more dynamic properties still need to be clarified.
