Fault Orientation Trumps Fault Maturity in Controlling Coseismic Rupture Characteristics of the 2021 Maduo Earthquake

AGU Advances
Fault maturity has been proposed to exert a first order control on earthquake rupture, yet direct observations linking individual rupture to long‐term fault growth are rare.

Stress Evolution Before and After the 2021 Mw 7.3 Maduo Earthquake in Northeastern Tibet and Its Influence on Seismic Hazards

Earth and Space Science, 2022
The 2021 Mw 7.3 Maduo earthquake ruptured the Kunlun Pass‐Jiangcuo fault (KPJF) in the Bayan Har Block (BHB) in northeastern Tibet. To explore the reasons behind the Maduo earthquake and the seismic hazards that followed this event in the BHB, we ...

Characteristics of Co-Seismic Surface Rupture of the 2021 Maduo Mw 7.4 Earthquake and Its Tectonic Implications for Northern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2022
A magnitude (Mw) 7.4 Maduo earthquake occurred on 22 May 2021 in the northern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with predominantly left-lateral strike-slip faulting and a component of normal faulting within the Bayan Har Block.

Earthquakes Have Accelerated the Carbon Dioxide Emission Rate of Soils on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Earthquakes on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau not only damage infrastructure but also increase carbon dioxide emissions. This study found that fissures caused by these earthquakes expose frozen soils to the air, leading to an increase in soil carbon emission rates by 0.71 g CO2 m−2·a−1.

Strain Threshold for the Formation of Coseismic Surface Rupture

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 16, 28 August 2023., 2023
Abstract The 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake (eastern Tibetan Plateau), with a surface deformation zone that is characterized by multiple distinct surface rupture segments separated by segments with no surface ruptures, provides an excellent opportunity to constrain the strain threshold (minimum strain) for the formation of surface ruptures.

Interaction between historical earthquakes and the 2021 Mw7.4 Maduo event and their impacts on the seismic gap areas along the East Kunlun fault

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
On May 21, 2021 (UTC time), an Mw7.4 earthquake struck Maduo County, Qinghai Province, China. The rupture of this typical strike-slip event and its aftershocks along the Kunlun-Jiangcuo fault (JCF) propagated approximately 170 km from the epicenter.

Earthquake Cycle Deformation Associated With the 2021 MW 7.4 Maduo (Eastern Tibet) Earthquake: An Intrablock Rupture Event on a Slow‐Slipping Fault From Sentinel‐1 InSAR and Teleseismic Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 127, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract In the continents, the importance of earthquakes that occur away from major block‐bounding faults is still debated. The 21 May 2021 MW ∼ 7.4 Maduo earthquake occurred on a secondary fault away from previously‐identified major block boundaries.
