Mechanics of near-field deformation during co- and post-seismic shallow fault slip [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractPoor knowledge of how faults slip and distribute deformation in the shallow crust hinders efforts to mitigate hazards where faults increasingly intersect with the expanding global population at Earth’s surface. Here we analyze two study sites along the 2014M6.0 South Napa, California, earthquake rupture, each dominated by either co- or post ...

Pseudotachylyte-Mylonites Record of Transient Creep From Inter-Seismic Ductile to Co-Seismic Rupture
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Transient creep during an earthquake cycle is very important to understand the rheology of fault and deformation mechanisms in the brittle–plastic transition zone.

Toroidal/poloidal partitioning of global post‐seismic deformation
Geophysical Research Letters, 1995 An Earth model subject to dislocations is studied in order to investigate the toroidal/poloidal content of global post‐seismic deformation. Differently from previous analyses, our approach allows us to deal with some of the main complexities of the real Earth, such as sphericity, self‐gravitation, and rheological stratification.

Post-seismic relaxation from geodetic and seismic data
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2017 We have examined the aftershock sequence and the post-seismic deformation process of the Parkfield earthquake (2004, M = 6, California, USA) source area using GPS data.

An Approximate Method to Simulate Post-Seismic Deformations in a Realistic Earth Model [PDF]
, 2020 AbstractThe geodetic observations of static deformations, including gravity perturbations and displacement fields due to huge earthquakes, are understood and explained using recent dislocation theories. Due to multiple possible mechanisms for the post-seismic phase of earthquakes, the dominant mechanism may change at different spatiotemporal ranges for

Applied Sciences, 2022 Seismicity in the Ionian Sea (W. Greece) is mainly generated along the Cephalonia–Lefkada Transform Fault Zone (CLTFZ) in the central Ionian, and on the northwestern termination of the Hellenic subduction margin in the south.

Measuring and modelling deformation during the Dabbahu (Afar) rifting episode [PDF]
, 2010 In September 2005, a 60-km-long dyke intruded the Dabbahu segment of the Nubia-Arabia plate boundary (Afar, Ethiopia), marking the beginning of an ongoing rifting episode.

Earth Sciences Research Journal, 2017 The eastern Anatolia provides one of the best examples of an area of rapid deformation and intense contraction that is the consequence of an active continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates leading to large and devastating earthquakes.

Seismic Resilience Assessment of Tehran's Southern Water Transmission Pipeline Using GIS-based Analyses [PDF]
Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2021 It is well accepted that an urban region's seismic resilience is directly related to the seismic resilience of the local water systems. Pipelines having low earthquake resistance generally include old pipes and those susceptible to corrosion. The seismic
