Nearly magnitude‐invariant stress drops in simulated crack‐like earthquake sequences on rate‐and‐state faults with thermal pressurization of pore fluids [PDF]
Stress drops, inferred to be magnitude‐invariant, are a key characteristic used to describe natural earthquakes. Theoretical studies and laboratory experiments indicate that enhanced dynamic weakening, such as thermal pressurization of pore fluids, may ...

The thermal equation of state of (Mg, Fe)SiO3 bridgmanite (perovskite) and implications for lower mantle structures [PDF]
The high‐pressure/high‐temperature equation of state (EOS) of synthetic 13% Fe‐bearing bridgmanite (Mg silicate perovskite) is measured using powder X‐ray diffraction in a laser‐heated diamond anvil cell with a quasi‐hydrostatic neon pressure medium.
