The 2008 MS 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred in the Longmenshan fault zone, which has complex geological background, strong surface relief, and heterogeneous elastic-viscous structures; however, the seismic risk of the Longmenshan fault zone was ...

The largest earthquake (Mw 6.4) in northwestern Croatia ruptured the faults near the city of Petrinja on 29 December 2020, at 11:19 UTC. The epicenter was located ~3 km southwest of Petrinja, ~40 km southeast of Zagreb, the capital of the Republic of ...

Influence of anelastic surface layers on postseismic thrust fault deformation [PDF]
We present the results of a systematic modeling study of postseismic deformation following blind thrust earthquakes. The results include qualitative and quantitative predictions of the surface movement caused by relaxation in viscoelastic near‐surface layers.

The evolution of pore fluid pressure ( Pf$P_{\mathrm{f}}$) in the most seaward portion of a subduction accretionary prism plays an essential role in the cycle of tsunamigenic earthquakes. Based on recent geophysical observations, here we propose a testable conceptual model for this evolution for northern Cascadia offshore of Washington.

The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning in characterizing active tectonic processes from postseismic slip to the long term growth of normal faults [PDF]
This thesis investigates two main hypotheses regarding uncertainty in the measurement of paleoseismic offsets used to estimate fault activity and paleoearthquake magnitudes on normal faults: (1) That variations in fault geometry have a significant effect

Grain Size and Fluid Effects on the Frictional Behavior of Simulated Carbonate Fault Gouge
Abstract Carbonate rocks exhibit a span of clast and grain size in fault zones. However, the effect of grain size distribution on the frictional behavior of carbonate faults and its implications for natural and induced seismicity remain poorly understood.

Rheologic constraints on the upper mantle from 5 years of postseismic deformation following the El Mayor‐Cucapah earthquake [PDF]
We analyze five years of Southern California GPS data following the Mw=7.2 El Mayor‐Cucapah earthquake. We observe transient postseismic deformation which persists for 3 years at epicentral distances greater than ∼200 km.

Abstract Deformation along oceanic transform faults is partitioned between seismic and aseismic slip, controlled by lithology, thermal structure, and fluid circulation. We analyze one year of data from a 54‐station ocean bottom seismometer network deployed across the Blanco Transform Fault (BTF), Northeast Pacific.

Crustal deformation in extensional regimes: Iceland, Nevada and SW Turkey [PDF]
In 1991 a 23-point, 30 x 25 km, GPS geodetic network was established in the Hengill ridge-ridge-transform triple junction, SW Iceland. The GPS data were processed using the Bernese V3.2 software.
