Geothermal EnergyCrustal fault zones, holding promise as potential geothermal reservoirs, remain largely untapped and unexplored. Located in the southern Massif Central, France, the Margeride fault zone (MFZ) varies in thickness (lateral extension perpendicular to the ...

Estimating Fault Friction from Seismic Signals in the Laboratory
, 2018 Nearly all aspects of earthquake rupture are controlled by the friction along the fault that progressively increases with tectonic forcing, but in general cannot be directly measured.

Experimental Insights Into Fault Reactivation in Gouge‐Filled Fault Zones [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019 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 ...

Frontiers in Earth ScienceThe earthquake landslide hazard assessment method is mainly based on the traditional Newmark model. However, when the landslide hazard assessment is carried out along the fault zone, the calculated results are often different from the actual situation ...

Horizontal coseismic deformation of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake measured from SPOT satellite images: Implications for the seismic cycle along the western foothills of central Taiwan [PDF]
, 2003 The 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, M_w = 7.6, broke a major thrust fault along the western foothills of the Central Range of Taiwan. We have measured the horizontal coseismic displacement field by correlating optical satellite images acquired before and after ...

Stress transfer and strain rate variations during the seismic cycle [PDF]
, 2004 The balance of forces implies stress transfers during the seismic cycle between the elastobrittle upper crust and the viscoelastic lower crust. This could induce observable time variations of crustal straining in the interseismic period.

Graphite lubricates fault zones [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 Graphite is known to be a low‐friction material, and rocks rich in graphite are often found in fault zones. Oohashi et al. conducted laboratory studies to determine how much graphite is needed to reduce the frictional strength of a fault. Their experiments included samples with various mixtures of graphite and quartz, as well as pure quartz and pure ...
