Estimation of the fault geometry of the Median Tectonic Line (MTL) in Eastern Shikoku, Southwestern Japan, via GNSS and InSAR time series analysis

Earth, Planets and Space
The Median Tectonic Line (MTL) is one of the largest active fault systems in Japan. Whether the active MTL fault is north-dipping or near-vertical is still under debate.

Seismotectonic Setting of the Andes along the Nazca Ridge Subduction Transect: New Insights from Thermal and Finite Element Modelling

Geosciences
The structural evolution of Andean-type orogens is strongly influenced by the geometry of the subducting slab. This study focuses on the flat-slab subduction of the Nazca Ridge and its effects on the South American Plate.

A 3D finite-element mesh for modeling large-scale surface deformation induced by subduction megathrust earthquakes: Application to Chile

Seismica
Megaearthquakes (Mw > 8) cause continental-scale, long-lasting surface deformation, mainly due to viscoelastic relaxation of the asthenosphere. To investigate the links between this deformation and the slip history along subduction interfaces—including ...

Uncovering potential cascading earthquakes in northeastern Tibet

Communications Earth & Environment
Conventional assessments of earthquake cascading rely on geometric plausibility criteria but lack physical realism of rupture interactions. Here, we propose a physics-based approach by integrating interseismic fault coupling and accumulated seismic ...

Improved 3D velocity model for determining aftershock locations of the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal Earthquake

Earth, Planets and Space
The 2015 Mw 7.9 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal and its subsequent aftershock sequence, including the Mw 7.2 Kodari earthquake, which occurred on the eastern edge of the Gorkha mainshock, significantly impacted the region.
