Slip Model of the 2020 Yutian (Northwestern Tibetan Plateau) Earthquake Derived From Joint Inversion of InSAR and Teleseismic Data

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and teleseismic P‐wave data were combined to investigate the source rupture characteristics of the 2020 Mw 6.3 Yutian, China, earthquake.

Mechanical Analysis of Fault Slip Rate Sites within the San Gorgonio Pass Region, Southern California USA

open access: yesTektonika, 2023
Earthquake hazard assessments rely on observations from the field and geophysical data that provide fault slip rate estimates at specific sites and inform the geometry of active faults; however, uncertainty remains for both slip rate and geometry ...

Dynamic rupture propagation on geometrically complex fault with along-strike variation of fault maturity: insights from the 2014 Northern Nagano earthquake

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2017
Understanding the effect of the complex fault geometry on the dynamic rupture process and discriminating it from the complexity originating from the rheological properties of faults, is an essential subject in earthquake science. The 2014 Northern Nagano

New Madrid seismic zone fault geometry [PDF]

open access: yesGeosphere, 2008
The New Madrid seismic zone of the central Mississippi River valley has been interpreted to be a right-lateral strike-slip fault zone with a left stepover restraining bend (Reelfoot reverse fault). This model is overly simplistic because New Madrid seismicity continues 30 km southeast of the stepover.

Geometry and kinematics of the Baza Fault (central Betic Cordillera, South Spain): insights into its seismic potential

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2020
The geometry and kinematics of active faults have a significant impact on their seismic potential. In this work, a structural characterization of the active Baza Fault (central Betic Cordillera, southern Spain) combining surface and subsurface data is ...

Multicycle Dynamics of the Aksay Bend Along the Altyn Tagh Fault in Northwest China: 2. The Realistically Complex Fault Geometry

open access: yesTectonics, 2019
We study rupture behavior of the Aksay bend along the Altyn Tagh fault in northwest China over multiple earthquake cycles. A finite element method is used to numerically simulate spontaneous rupture during a coseismic process, and a viscoelastic model is

Physics-Based Scenario of Earthquake Cycles on the Ventura Thrust System, California: The Effect of Variable Friction and Fault Geometry

open access: yesPure and Applied Geophysics, 2019
The Ventura Thrust system in California is capable of producing large magnitude earthquakes. Geological studies suggest that the fault geometry is complex, composed of multiple segments at different dips: thrust ramps dipping 30°–50° linked with bed ...

Variability in the three-dimensional geometry of segmented normal fault surfaces

open access: yes, 2021
Normal faults are often complex three-dimensional structures comprising multiple sub-parallel segments separated by intact or breached relay zones. Relay zones are classified according to whether they step in the strike or dip direction and whether the ...

The Influence of Satellite Configuration and Fault Duration Time on the Performance of Fault Detection in GNSS/INS Integration

open access: yesSensors, 2019
For the integration of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and inertial navigation system (INS), real-time and accurate fault detection is essential to enhance the reliability and precision of the system.

Development of an inversion method to extract information on fault geometry from teleseismic data

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2018
Teleseismic waveforms contain information on fault slip evolution during an earthquake, as well as on the fault geometry. A linear finite-fault inversion method is a tool for solving the slip-rate function distribution under an assumption of fault ...
