Impact of rupture-plane uncertainty on earthquake hazard: observations from the 30 october 2020 Samos earthquake

, 2021
We assess the significance of rupture-plane uncertainty in the estimated ground-motion intensity measures (IMs) by using the centroid moment-tensor and fault-plane solutions as well as the ground-motion recordings of the 30 October 2020 Samos Earthquake.

Rupture Process of the 2019 Ridgecrest, California Mw 6.4 Foreshock and Mw 7.1 Earthquake Constrained by Seismic and Geodetic Data

, 2020
The 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence culminated in the largest seismic event in California since the 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine earthquake. Here, we combine geodetic and seismic data to study the rupture process of both the 4 July Mw 6.4 foreshock and ...

Pseudotachylytes and Earthquake Source Mechanics

, 2009
Destructive earthquakes nucleate at depth (10 to 15 km), therefore monitoring active faults at the Earth’s surface, or interpreting seismic waves, yields only limited information on earthquake mechanics.

Earthquake and Tsunami Forecasts: Relation of Slow Slip Events to Subsequent Earthquake Rupture [PDF]

, 2014
The 5 September 2012 Mw 7.6 earthquake on the Costa Rica subduction plate boundary followed a 62-y interseismic period. High-precision GPS recorded numerous slow slip events (SSEs) in the decade leading up to the earthquake, both up-dip and down-dip of ...

Physical mechanism for severe seismic hazard in the 2010 Yushu, China, earthquake (Mw= 6.9): insights from FEM simulations

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
The moderate-size 2010 Yushu earthquake (Mw 6.9) caused severe seismic damage around the source region which is situated on the sparsely populated hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau. But until now the mechanisms have not been well understood. To this end,

Breaking up the hanging wall of a rift-border fault: The 2009 Karonga earthquakes, Malawi [PDF]

, 2010
The southern East African Rift has an unusually large seismogenic thickness (35–40 km), which is responsible for wide tilted basins and extremely long faults with the potential for M7-8 normal-faulting earthquakes.

The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning in characterizing active tectonic processes from postseismic slip to the long term growth of normal faults [PDF]

, 2012
This thesis investigates two main hypotheses regarding uncertainty in the measurement of paleoseismic offsets used to estimate fault activity and paleoearthquake magnitudes on normal faults: (1) That variations in fault geometry have a significant effect

Can earthquake size be controlled by the initial seconds of rupture?

, 2007
It has been argued that the dominant period T_p derived from the initial seconds of a seismogram, hence only depending on the initial phases of earthquake rupture, seems to scale with the final size of the earthquake.

The physics-based deterministic scenarios for earthquake hazards and losses of the Zhujiangkou fault in southern China

npj Natural Hazards
Dynamic rupture directivity significantly impacts earthquake hazard and loss assessments; yet, it is often overlooked, leading to uncertainties. We developed high-resolution, broadband, deterministic scenarios for earthquake hazards and losses of the ...
