Unzipping of the Conjugate Fault System During the 2024 Mw7.4 Hualien Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
On 2 April 2024, a Mw7.4 earthquake struck Taiwan's eastern coast near Hualien City. The fault responsible for the mainshock remained under debate due to the region's complex plate boundary system and intricate fault interactions.
