Active Deformation Patterns in the Northern Birjand Mountains of the Sistan Suture Zone, Iran
In this paper, faults, one of the most important causes of geohazards, were investigated from a kinematic and geometric viewpoint in the northern part of the Sistan suture zone (SSZ), which serves as the boundary between the Afghan and Lut blocks ...

Probing source mechanisms of natural and induced earthquakes is a powerful tool to unveil associated rupture kinematics. The source processes of failure and slip instability driven by stress loading are affected by fault geometry, but the source ruptures

An appropriate representation of faults is fundamental for hydro-mechanical reservoir models to obtain robust quantitative insights into the spatial distribution of stress, strain and pore pressure.

The influence of fault geometry on small strike-slip fault mechanics [PDF]
Abstract Meter-scale subvertical strike-slip fault traces in the central Californian Sierra Nevada exhibit geometric complexities that significantly contribute to their mechanical behavior. Sections of faults that opened at depth channelized fluid flow, as evidenced by hydrothermal mineral infillings and alteration haloes.

Accurate models of fault zone geometry are important for scientific and hazard applications. While seismicity can provide high-resolution point measurements of fault geometry, extrapolating these measurements to volumes may involve making strong ...

Complex strike-slip faulting during the 2021 Mw7.4 Maduo earthquake
Fault geometry is an essential component for understanding earthquake genesis and dynamic rupture propagation. Here we employed space-based geodetic observations and geological survey, adopting a fully Bayesian approach, to probabilistically estimate the

Stochastic model of earthquake fault geometry [PDF]
Summary An earthquake fault pattern is assumed to consist of a system of infinitesimal, elementary dislocation loops. After an initial dislocation, subsequent ruptures occur according to a critical branching process. The position of each secondary dislocation loop is randomly shifted, along the initial fault-plane, from the location of the main ...

Towards Geometry-Preserving Domain Adaptation for Fault Identification
In most industries, the working conditions of equipment vary significantly from one site to another, from one time of a year to another, and so on. This variation poses a severe challenge for data-driven fault identification methods: it introduces a change in the data distribution.

Our understanding of earthquake sources is limited by the availability and the quality of observations and the fidelity of our physical models. Uncertainties in our physical models will naturally bias our inferences of subsurface fault slip.

Finite-fault inversion of tsunami waveforms requires prior knowledge of fault geometry, which is often subject to considerable uncertainty. Quantifying effects of such uncertainty is essential for evaluating the reliability of inversion results derived ...
