Constraints on the active tectonics of the Friuli/NW Slovenia area from CGPS measurements and three-dimensional kinematic modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We use site velocities from continuous GPS (CGPS) observations and kinematic modeling to investigate the active tectonics of the Friuli/NW Slovenia area.

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The seismic cycle on a major fault involves long periods of elastic strain and stress accumulation, driven by aseismic ductile deformation at depth, ultimately released by sudden fault slip events. Coseismic slip distributions are generally heterogeneous

Quantifying the probability and uncertainty of multiple-structure rupture for Taiwan

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2023

Seismic Risk Analysis of Revenue Losses, Gross Regional Product and transportation systems. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Natural threats like earthquakes, hurricanes or tsunamis have shown seri- ous impacts on communities. In the past, major earthquakes in the United States like Loma Prieta 1989, Northridge 1994, or recent events in Italy like L’Aquila 2009 or Emilia 2012 ...

From tomographic images to fault heterogeneities

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1994
Local Earthquake Tomography (LET) is a useful tool for imaging lateral heterogeneities in the upper crust. The pattern of P- and S-wave velocity anomalies, in relation to the seismicity distribution along active fault zones.

InSAR coseismic deformation field and seismogenic structure of the 2020 Mw6.0 Jiashi earthquake and the implication for the moderate-magnitude seismicity in the southwestern Tian Shan, western China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The Kepingtage fold-and-thrust belt in the southwestern Tian Shan in western China hosted the 2020 Mw 6.0 Jiashi earthquake with no apparent surface ruptures.

Analysis on relocation and focal mechanism of the Chengde ML3.6 earthquake on June 17, 2021

open access: yes地震科学进展
On June 17, 2021, an ML3.6 earthquake occurred in Shuangqiao District, Chengde City, Hebei Province. Based on the data of Hebei regional digital seismic network, the double-difference location algorithm was used to reposition the earthquake sequence and ...
