The Seismogenic Thickness of Venus [PDF]
Growing evidence that volcanism is currently ongoing on Venus suggests that the sister planet of the Earth may also be seismically active. Given the success of seismic measurements on Mars and the Moon to reveal the interior structure of these bodies ...

ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

The European Database of Seismogenic Faults (EDSF) compiled in the framework of the Project SHARE.
The European Database of Seismogenic Faults (EDSF) was compiled in the framework of the EU Project SHARE, Work Package 3, Task 3.2. EDSF includes only faults that are deemed to be capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude equal to or larger than 5.5

Abstract The recognition that relay zones along faults can act as barriers to earthquake propagation implies that rupture size may not be random and earthquakes are constrained by fault geometry. Resolution and observational biases can, however, complicate the integration of actual fault zone geometries into deterministic modeling strategies, thereby ...

Evidence for seismogenic fracture of silicic magma
It has long been assumed that seismogenic faulting is confined to cool, brittle rocks, with a temperature upper limit of 600 °C (ref. 1). This thinking underpins our understanding of volcanic earthquakes, which are assumed to occur in cold rocks ...

Abstract Megathrust slip behavior in subduction zones can vary along‐strike, yet the mechanisms driving this variability remain uncertain. The Middle America trench offshore Mexico provides an ideal setting to investigate the structural controls on megathrust slip behavior.

Abstract Surface processes, including hydroclimate variations, affect crustal deformation and fault behavior. These controls are especially important for intrarift faults in continental rift systems, which accommodate substantial strain while experiencing large hydrological load variations beneath rift lakes.

Characterizing the Forearc Basement and Subducting Structures of the Northern Ecuadorian Margin
Abstract We present 2D P‐wave velocity (Vp) models from the northern Ecuadorian subduction zone, north of the Carnegie Ridge. Data were collected during the HIPER2 3D wide‐angle seismic experiment, both onshore and offshore. Key seismic profiles were manually picked to determine P‐wave first‐arrival times, which were used for a traveltime tomographic ...

Abstract We present heat flow estimates beneath the forearc slopes off Hyuga‐nada and Cape Muroto in the Nankai Trough, where the Philippine Sea plate subducts beneath the southwestern Japan. Using seismic reflection data, we identified Bottom Simulating Reflectors and derived heat flow ranging from 20 to >140 mW/m2.

The Spatiotemporal Evolution of Creep on the Southern San Andreas Fault Between 2015–2021
Abstract The Southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) in the Coachella Valley experiences shallow creep and slow slip events (SSE), which re‐distribute stresses in the seismogenic zone and affect the potential of future earthquakes. Although average creep rates are relatively well‐constrained, untangling the details of spatiotemporal variation in creep along ...
