Cascadia Convergent Zone: An Example of Primary Convergent Seismogenic Structure

Open Journal of Earthquake Research, 2019
In this article, a case is made for very-large or primary seismogenic structures in convergent margins, based on anomalous large earthquake magnitudes (Mw 8 - 9) relative to rupture lengths. Out of 56,293 earthquakes (magnitudes ≥ 5) cataloged worldwide, the 10 largest events in transform, divergent, and interior settings average magnitudes of 7.3 - 7 ...

Revealing the slip distribution and seismogenic structure of the magnitude 6.2 Jishishan (Gansu) earthquake in 2023 through multi-source InSAR observations

Geo-spatial Information Science
On 18 December 2023, Jishishan County in Gansu Province, China, was struck by an earthquake with magnitude 6.2, resulting in considerable loss of life and property. The seismogenic fault and rupture model of the event has sparked significant controversy,

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

Crustal Seismogenic Thickness and Thermal Structure of NW South America

, 2022
The crustal seismogenic thickness (CST) has direct implications on the magnitude and occurrence of crustal earthquakes, and therefore, on the seismic hazard of high-populated regions. Amongst other factors, the seismogenesis of rocks is affected by in-situ conditions (temperature and state of stress) and by their heterogeneous composition.

Research of Seismogenic Structures of the 2016 and 2022 Menyuan Earthquakes, in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2023
On 8 January 2022, a Moment Magnitude (Mw) 6.7 earthquake occurred in Menyuan, China. The epicenter was located in the western segment of the Lenglongling fault of the Qilian-Haiyuan fault zone. In this area, the Mw 5.9 Menyuan earthquake on 26 August 1986 and the Mw 5.9 Menyuan earthquake on 21 January 2016 successively occurred.

新疆博罗可努—阿齐克库都克断裂精河段古地震与最新活动时代研究

Dizhen xuebao, 2022
博罗可努—阿齐克库都克断裂是西天山北西向右旋走滑断裂系中最北端的一条活动断裂，其在中国境内延伸最长。本文在艾比湖西侧及精河县东南侧最新地表形变上开挖两条探槽，进行该断裂古地震的初步研究。根据活动性质差异和断裂截切关系将该断裂分为艾比湖段和精河以东段，在对沉积物光释光年代和地震关系分析的基础上，确定了此两段断裂的最新活动时代均为全新世，初步确定其古地震期次，最新地震事件距今3.7—4.86 ka之间；根据冲沟位错和洪积扇年代测定结果，确定精河以东段的活动速率大于4 mm/a；根据探槽错动至地表 ...

Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2855-2879, September 2026.
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 relationship between structure and seismogenic behaviour in subduction zones

, 2014
The largest earthquakes on Earth take place on the megathrusts of subduction zones, but the slip behavior of megathrusts is variable. This thesis considers why by conducting local, regional and global studies of the interrelationships between the structure and seismogenic behavior of subduction zones.

2017年8月9日精河MS6.6地震余震序列精定位及发震构造分析

Dizhen xuebao, 2019
为确定2017年8月9日精河MS6.6地震的发震构造，本文使用双差定位方法对发震时刻至2017年10月震源区所发生的余震进行了精定位，同时利用CAP波形反演方法，得到了主震的震源机制解，同时使用GPAT方法反演得到了部分余震的震源机制解，并基于两者对本次地震的发震构造予以分析。结果显示：精定位后主震位于（44.27°N，82.85°E），震源深度为17 km；主震最佳双力偶解对应的节面Ⅰ的走向为260°、倾角为51°、滑动角为84°，节面Ⅱ的走向为89.5°、倾角为39.4°、滑动角为97.4 ...
