Buried Aseismic Slip and Off‐Fault Deformation on the Southernmost San Andreas Fault Triggered by the 2010 El Mayor Cucapah Earthquake Revealed by UAVSAR

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
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 ...

Geometry and Kinematics Characteristics of Strike-Slip Fault Zone in Complex Structure Area: A Case Study From the South No. 15 Strike-Slip Fault Zone in the Eastern Sichuan Basin, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
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 ...

On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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 ...

Fault valving and pore pressure evolution in simulations of earthquake sequences and aseismic slip [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Fault-zone fluids control effective normal stress and fault strength. While most earthquake models assume a fixed pore fluid pressure distribution, geologists have documented fault valving behavior, that is, cyclic changes in pressure and unsteady fluid ...

The slow slip of viscous faults [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018
AbstractWe examine a simple mechanism for the spatiotemporal evolution of transient, slow slip. We consider the problem of slip on a fault that lies within an elastic continuum and whose strength is proportional to sliding rate. This rate dependence may correspond to a viscously deforming shear zone or the linearization of a nonlinear, rate‐dependent ...

Heterogeneous Slip Distribution Self-Similarity on a Fault Surface

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016
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.

Nearby fault interaction within the double-vergence suture in eastern Taiwan during the 2022 Chihshang earthquake sequence

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
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.

GPS source solution of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We compute a series of finite-source parameter inversions of the fault rupture of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake based on 1 Hz GPS records only. We confirm that some of the co-seismic slip at shallow depth (

Detection of repeating earthquakes and their application in characterizing slow fault slip

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019
Repeating earthquakes (repeaters) that rupture the same fault area (patch) are interpreted to be caused by repeated accumulation and release of stress on the seismic patch in a creeping area.

Experimental investigation on fluid-induced slip behavior of fault filled with fault gouge

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Fault zones are usually filled with fault gouge and accompanied by fault water. The coupled effect of fault gouge and water significantly impacts the slip behavior of the fault, which may weaken the fault structure and further induce rupture propagation ...
