Detailed shallow structure of the seismogenic fault of the 1976 Ms7.8 Tangshan earthquake, China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
In 1976, an Ms7.8 strong earthquake occurred in the Tangshan region of Northeast China within an ancient craton. In this study, we conducted shallow seismic exploration, drilling-based exploration, and exploratory trench excavation of ground fissures in ...

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

, 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

Timing and Style of Tectonic Assembly and Exhumation of the McHugh Complex Within the Chugach‐Kodiak Accretionary Wedge, Alaska

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Accretionary complexes are key archives of subduction zone processes, preserving records of forearc growth, deformation, and tectonic reorganization. The Chugach–Kodiak accretionary complex of southern Alaska records Jurassic to Cretaceous underplating at shallow to intermediate subduction conditions. The McHugh Complex, an imbricated sequence

Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]

, 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

Differential Mountain‐Building in the South Tian Shan Revealed by Multi‐Spatiotemporal Foreland Deformation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...

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

Frontiers 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.

Complex Kinematics of Upper‐Plate Faulting Along the Central Cascadia Forearc Inferred From the Lateral Displacement of Marine Terraces

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Recent earthquakes along the shallow portion of the Hikurangi subduction zone (the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake sequence, New Zealand) indicate that faults within the overriding plate of subduction zones may exhibit uncharacteristically large surface displacements relative to their fault length. Whether this style of upper‐plate faulting is common

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

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 ...

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

, 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 ...
