The 2023 Mw 6.8 Morocco Earthquake: A Lower Crust Event Triggered by Mantle Upwelling?
Geophysical Research LettersA M6.8 earthquake struck the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco on 8 September 2023, ending a 63‐year seismic silence. We herein attempt to clarify the seismogenic fault and explore the underlying mechanism for this seismic event based on multiple data sets.

Combining controlled-source seismology and local earthquake tomography to derive a 3-D crustal model of the western Alpine region [PDF]
, 2017 We present a newly developed approach of combining controlled-source seismology (CSS) and local earthquake tomography (LET) data to obtain a new 3-D crustal model of the western Alpine region.

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]
, 2011 We present a source model for the 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake of northwest India. The slip distribution suggests a high stress drop (~35 MPa) and, together with the depth distribution of aftershocks, that the entire crust is seismogenic. We suggest that

, 2008 Several lines of evidence suggest that simple shear rifting of the continental crust, in the formof low-angle detachment faulting, occurred during the final stages of continental breakupbetween West Iberia and the Grand Banks.

Flat slab deformation caused by interplate suction force [PDF]
, 2015 We image the structure at the southern end of the Peruvian flat subduction zone, using receiver function and surface wave methods. The Nazca slab subducts to ~100 km depth and then remains flat for ~300 km distance before it resumes the dipping ...

Tectonophysics, 2013 AbstractFrom October 2009 to May 2010, through the support of the SinoProbe project a series of deep seismic reflection profiles were conducted. In order to image deep crustal structure of central Tibet, these profiles extend from the northern Lhasa terrane to the Qiangtang terrane by crossing the Bangong–Nujiang suture (BNS).

A broken plate beneath the North Baikal rift zone revealed by gravity modelling [PDF]
, 1994 International audienceWe modelled a 1200 km long gravimetric profile in the North Baikal rift to assess the mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere, using a numerical model that accounts for realistic brittle-elasto-ductile rheology.
