Deformation due to the 17 August 1999 Izmit, Turkey, earthquake measured from SPOT images [PDF]
, 2002 The geometry of the ruptured areas and the coseismic slip distribution data are key to highlighting the behavior of seismic faults. This information is generally retrieved from field investigations and geodetic measurements or synthetic aperture radar ...

Spectral-element simulations of long-term fault slip: Effect of low-rigidity layers on earthquake-cycle dynamics [PDF]
, 2011 We develop a spectral element method for the simulation of long-term histories of spontaneous seismic and aseismic slip on faults subjected to tectonic loading.

Quantitative Constraints on Faulting and Fault Slip Rates in the Northern Main Ethiopian Rift
Tectonics, 2020 The Boset magmatic segment (BMS) of the northern Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) is an ideal natural laboratory to investigate the kinematics, interaction, and rates of activity within a fault network in a magma‐rich rift.

Rapid fault healing after seismic slip
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2023 Fault strength recovery (healing) following an earthquake is a key process in controlling the recurrence of future events; however, the rates and mechanisms of fault healing are poorly constrained. Here, by performing high-velocity friction experiments at seismic slip rates (0.57 m/s), we show that granite and gabbro fault gouges recover their strength

Characterization parameters of the evolution degree of strike-slip faults
Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2023 Strike-slip faults and their related structures have great value for oil and gas exploration. Accurate understanding of the evolution degree of strike-slip faults is crucial to oil and gas exploration in strike-slip structural belts.

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]
, 2016 Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...

The Spectrum of Fault Slip in Elastoplastic Fault Zones
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2023 Natural faults are typically surrounded by damage zones that exhibit inelastic material response. This study investigates the role of fault zone strength in modulating the spectrum of fault slip across different spatio-temporal scales. We carry out long-term simulations of seismic and aseismic slip for an elastoplastic spring slider model with rate-and-
