Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]
, 2009 The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

Structure-controlled asperity on the generation of large earthquakes
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 The occurrence of large earthquakes is not only related to the fault geometry and state of stress accumulation, but also closely related to the structure of surrounding rocks.

Seismicity relocation and fault structure near the Leech River Fault Zone, southern Vancouver Island [PDF]
, 2018 Relatively low rates of seismicity and fault loading have made it challenging to correlate microseismicity to mapped surface faults on the forearc of southern Vancouver Island.

Deep ductile shear localization facilitates near-orthogonal strike-slip faulting in a thin brittle lithosphere [PDF]
, 2020 Some active fault systems comprise near-orthogonal conjugate strike-slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences.

Recognition of earthquake-prone nodes, a case study for North Vietnam (M ⩾ 5.0)
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2012 Morphostructural nodes in North Vietnam are delineated with the morphostructural zoning (MZ) method, and classified into seismogenic and non-seismogenic nodes.

Seismogenic zone structure of the southern Middle America Trench, Costa Rica [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2003 The shallow seismogenic portion of subduction zones generates damaging large and great earthquakes. This study provides structural constraints on the seismogenic zone of the Middle America Trench offshore central Costa Rica and insights into the physical and mechanical characteristics controlling seismogenesis. We have located ∼300 events that occurred

濑溪河流域地貌对泸县MS6.0地震发震构造变形的响应及其指示作用
Dizhen xuebao, 2022 以12.5 m 数字高程模型数据为基础，采用数字地貌分析方法提取了濑溪河流域的高程剖面和面积-高程积分（HI）等地貌参数，分析了2021年9月16日四川盆地东南部泸县MS6.0地震震中附近区域地貌与构造活动的响应关系。结果显示：震中西侧的螺观山和梯子崖背斜在震中的南北两端存在明显的缩短量差异；HI条带状低值区的展布方向与流域内构造的方向一致，HI高值区位于华蓥山两条断裂夹持的谷地，但在震中附近存在WNW向的HI低值带。综合分析认为，泸县地震震中附近应存在一走向为WNW的隐伏构造 ...

Ground deformation and source geometry of the 30 October 2016 Mw 6.5 Norcia earthquake (Central Italy) investigated through seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and numerical modelling [PDF]
, 2018 We investigate the Mw 6.5 Norcia (Central Italy) earthquake by exploiting seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and a numerical modelling approach. In particular, we first retrieve the vertical component (uplift and subsidence) of the displacements ...
