Super-Interseismic Periods: Redefining Earthquake Recurrence [PDF]
, 2017 Precise geodetic measurements made over broad swaths of tectonically active regions record patterns of interseismic strain accumulation, providing key insights into the locus and timing of pending earthquakes.

Rough Subducting Seafloor Reduces Interseismic Coupling and Mega‐Earthquake Occurrence: Insights From Analogue Models [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The roughness of the subduction interface is thought to influence seismogenic behavior in subduction zones, but a detailed understanding of how such roughness affects the state of stress along the subduction megathrust is still debated.

Remote Sensing, 2021 The Haiyuan fault zone is an important tectonic boundary and strong seismic activity belt in northeastern Tibet, but no major earthquake has occurred in the past ∼100 years, since the Haiyuan M8.5 event in 1920.

Interseismic coupling, stress evolution, and earthquake slip on the Sunda megathrust [PDF]
, 2013 The extent to which interseismic coupling controls the slip distribution of large megathrust earthquakes is unclear, with some authors proposing that it is the primary control and others suggesting that stress changes from previous earthquakes are of ...

Geodetic Constraints on the Crustal Deformation along the Kunlun Fault and Its Tectonic Implications
Remote Sensing, 2019 This study focuses on the crustal deformation and interseismic fault coupling along the strike-slip Kunlun fault, northern Tibet, whose western segment ruptured in the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake.

Inferring Interseismic Coupling Along the Lesser Antilles Arc: A Bayesian Approach
Journal of Geophysical Research - Solid Earth, 2020 The Lesser Antilles subduction zone is a challenging region when it comes to unraveling its seismogenic behavior. Over the last century, the subduction megathrust has been seismically quiet, with no large thrust event recorded, which raises the question ...

Seamount Subduction and Megathrust Seismicity: The Interplay Between Geometry and Friction
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Subducting seamounts are recognized as one of the key features influencing megathrust earthquakes. However, whether they trigger or arrest ruptures remains debated.
