Geologica Acta, 2018 Seismogenic faults that have not produced historical large earthquakes remain unnoticed and, thus, are dangerously left out from seismic hazard analyses. The seismogenic nature of the Carboneras Fault Zone, a left-lateral strikeslip fault in the Eastern

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2018 By systemic processing, comprehensive analysis, and interpretation of gravity data, we confirmed the existence of the west segment of the coastal fault zone (west of Yangjiang to Beibu Bay) in the coastal region of South China.

Genesis of continental seismogenic zone and a new fault zone model
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2000 Experiments were conducted repeatedly on Mannari granite under different temperature and confining pressure conditions. Systematic micro- and submicro-structural and mechanical analyses of granite samples deformed under 1.5 GPa (confining pressure), at 25°C–650°C temperatures and at 2×10−6s−1 strain rate show the brittle-ductile deformation ...

Embrittlement Within Viscous Shear Zones Across the Base of the Subduction Thrust Seismogenic Zone
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 AbstractGeophysical observations indicate that patches of localized fracturing occur within otherwise viscous regions of subduction plate boundaries. These observations place uncertainty on the possible down‐dip extent of the seismogenic zone, and as a result the maximum magnitude of subduction thrust earthquakes.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Despite decades of study, the detailed geometry of the Connector fault at the Alaska–Canada border remains poorly constrained. We investigate the rupture complexity and directivity of the 6 December 2025, Mw 7.0 Hubbard Glacier earthquake using hypocenter relocations, moment tensor inversions of the mainshock and aftershocks, and finite‐fault ...

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.The evolution of pore fluid pressure ( Pf$P_{\mathrm{f}}$) in the most seaward portion of a subduction accretionary prism plays an essential role in the cycle of tsunamigenic earthquakes. Based on recent geophysical observations, here we propose a testable conceptual model for this evolution for northern Cascadia offshore of Washington.

The silent earthquake of 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap, Mexico (Mw=7.6): Inversion of slip on the plate interface and some implications [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2004 We invert GPS position data to map the slip on the plate interface during an aseismic, slow-slip event, which occurred in 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap of the Mexican subduction zone, lasted for ~4 months, and was detected by 7 continuous GPS ...

Low Hazard–High Risk: A Case Study of the Active Mangatangi Fault
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.Activity on low deformation rate faults are challenging to quantify and comparatively understudied. One such fault, the Mangatangi Fault, strikes NE‐SW along the southeastern flanks of the Hunua Ranges c. 52 km south of New Zealand's most populous city, Auckland.

Thermal control of the seismogenic zone of southern central Chile
, 2011 We developed thermal models for the Chile subduction zone along two profiles at 38.2°S and 42°S within the rupture area of the 1960 M = 9.5 Valdivia earthquake and south of the 2010 M = 8.8 Maule earthquake.
