Superficial simplicity of the 2010 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake of Baja California in Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The geometry of faults is usually thought to be more complicated at the surface than at depth and to control the initiation, propagation and arrest of seismic ruptures.

Millennial slip rate of the Longitudinal Valley fault from river terraces: Implications for convergence across the active suture of eastern Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Longitudinal Valley fault is a key element in the active tectonics of Taiwan. It is the principal structure accommodating convergence across one of the two active sutures of the Taiwan orogeny.

Seismic analysis of the Xiluodu reservoir area and insights into the geometry of seismogenic faultsKey points

open access: yesEarthquake Science, 2022
The Xiluodu (XLD) reservoir is the second largest reservoir in China and the largest in the Jinsha River basin. The occurrence of two M > 5 earthquakes after reservoir impoundment has aroused great interest among seismologists and plant operators.

Real-Time Estimation of Fault Rupture Extent Using Envelopes of Acceleration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present a new strategy to estimate the geometry of a rupture on a finite fault in real time for earthquake early warning. We extend the work of Cua and Heaton who developed the virtual seismologist (VS) method (Cua, 2005), which is a Bayesian approach

Major California faults are smooth across multiple scales at seismogenic depth

open access: yesSeismica, 2023
Surface traces of earthquake faults are complex and segmented on multiple scales. At seismogenic depth the detailed geometry of faults and earthquake rupture is mainly constrained by earthquake locations.

Neotectonics of the Sumatran fault, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The 1900-km-long, trench-parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of the right-lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and Indian/Australian plates from 10°N to 7°S.

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

open access: yesGeomatics, 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,

Geometry, kinematics and rates of deformation in a normal fault segment boundary, central Greece [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The geometry, kinematics and rates of deformation within a fault segment boundary between the ends of two major active normal fault segments have been investigated through examination of a faulted 126 ka marine terrace.

Source Model and Stress Disturbance of the 2017 Jiuzhaigou Mw 6.5 Earthquake Constrained by InSAR and GPS Measurements

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Seismogenic fault geometry, especially for a blind fault, is usually difficult to derive, based only on the distribution of aftershocks and interference fringes of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR).
