Coseismic surface deformation from air photos: The Kickapoo step over in the 1992 Landers rupture [PDF]
Coseismic deformation of the ground can be measured from aerial views taken before and after an earthquake. We chose the area of the Kickapoo-Landers step over along the 1992 Landers earthquake zone, using air photos (scale 1:40,000) scanned at 0.4 m ...

Fault Zone Control on Rapid Groundwater Flow in Cretaceous Carbonates of the Hidden Valley Fault Zone, Texas [PDF]
Understanding geological controls on subsurface fluid flow is critical for groundwater resource management and aquifer protection and is particularly challenging in faulted carbonate aquifers due to dissolution and conduit development.

Geodetic displacements and aftershocks following the 2001 M_w = 8.4 Peru earthquake: Implications for the mechanics of the earthquake cycle along subduction zones [PDF]
We analyzed aftershocks and postseismic deformation recorded by the continuous GPS station AREQ following the M_w = 8.4, 23 June 2001 Peru earthquake. This station moved by 50 cm trenchward, in a N235°E direction during the coseismic phase, and continued

Spatio-temporal evolution of intraplate strike-slip faulting: the Neogene-Quaternary Kuh-e-Faghan Fault, Central Iran [PDF]
Central Iran provides an ideal region to study the long-term morphotectonic response to the nucleation and propagation of intraplate faulting. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates structural and stratigraphic field investigations ...

Sharp Changes of Crustal Seismic Anisotropy Across the Central Tanlu Fault Zone in East China
Both seismic and geodetic data suggested that the ∼120‐km long Weifang segment of the Tanlu fault zone, a large‐scale active strike‐slip system at east China, is a seismic gap with no obvious along‐strike shear motion at surface.

Experimental Insights Into Fault Reactivation in Gouge‐Filled Fault Zones [PDF]
AbstractFaults in the brittle crust constitute preexisting weakness zones that can be reactivated depending on their friction, orientation within the local stress field, and stress field magnitude. Analytical approaches to evaluate the potential for fault reactivation are generally based on the assumption that faults are ideal planes characterized by ...

Advances in seismological methods for characterizing fault zone structureKey points
Large earthquakes frequently occur along complex fault systems. Understanding seismic rupture and long-term fault evolution requires constraining the geometric and material properties of fault zone structures.
