We use UAVSAR interferograms to characterize fault slip, triggered by the Mw 7.2 El Mayor‐Cucapah earthquake on the 1 San Andreas Fault in the Coachella Valley providing comprehensive maps of short‐term geodetic surface deformation that complement in ...

The eastern Sichuan Basin has undergone multiple stages of tectonic evolution and shows complex structural characteristics. It is found that there are a series of NW-SE base-trending strike-slip faults in this area besides NE-SW strike-blocking ...

Nearby faults interact through stress changes induced by fault slip and viscoelastic flow. The process is, however, often elusive and can be geometry-dependent and time-variant.

Deformation due to the 17 August 1999 Izmit, Turkey, earthquake measured from SPOT images [PDF]
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 ...

Heterogeneous Slip Distribution Self-Similarity on a Fault Surface
The earthquake slip distribution self-similarity is investigated in this study. We complied finite fault slip models for earthquakes in the Taiwan orogenic belt and global earthquakes to determine the slip distribution self-similarity.

Spectral-element modeling of spontaneous earthquake rupture on rate and state faults: Effect of velocity-strengthening friction at shallow depths [PDF]
We develop a spectral-element methodology (SEM) for simulating dynamic rupture on rate and state faults and use it to study how the rupture is affected by a shallow fault region of steady-state velocity-strengthening friction.

On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]
The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...

High resolution 3D laser scanner measurements of a strike-slip fault quantify its morphological anisotropy at all scales [PDF]
The surface roughness of a recently exhumed strikeslip fault plane has been measured by three independent 3D portable laser scanners. Digital elevation models of several fault surface areas, from 1 m2 to 600 m2, have been measured at a resolution ranging

Neotectonics of the Sumatran fault, Indonesia [PDF]
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.

Origin and growth mechanisms of strike-slip faults in the central Tarim cratonic basin, NW China
Through fault structure analysis and chronology study, we discuss the origin and growth mechanisms of strike-slip faults in the Tarim Basin. (1) Multiple stages strike-slip faults with inherited growth were developed in the central Tarim cratonic basin ...
