Primary surface ruptures of the great Himalayan earthquakes in 1934 and 1255

Nature Geoscience, 2012
It is unclear where plate boundary thrusts generate giant rather than great earthquakes. Along the Himalayas, the source sizes and recurrence times of large seismic events are particularly uncertain, since no surface signatures were found for those that shook the range in the twentieth century. Here we challenge the consensus that these events remained

Poroelastic rebound along the Landers 1992 earthquake surface rupture

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1998
Maps of surface displacement following the 1992 Landers, California, earthquake, generated by interferometric processing of ERS‐1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, reveal effects of various postseismic deformation processes along the 1992 surface rupture.

Earthquakes as multiscale dynamic ruptures with heterogeneous fracture surface energy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2005
We propose a model of the wide‐scale growth of dynamic rupture during an earthquake, based on our multiscale simulation of a planar crack in a three‐dimensional homogeneous elastic space. A simple slip‐weakening law governs the fracture/friction processes, and its characteristic parameters, slip‐weakening distance and fracture surface energy, have ...

A Reappraisal of the 1894 Atalanti Earthquake Surface Ruptures, Central Greece

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2001
This article presents the results of new field and aerial photo surveys of the Atalanti fault and of the mesoseismal area of the 20 and 27 April 1894 earth- quakes. Coupled with a reanalysis of contemporary reports and previous investiga- tions, these are used to gain a better understanding of the faults responsible for these events and their seismic ...
