Silica precipitation potentially controls earthquake recurrence in seismogenic zones [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractSilica precipitation is assumed to play a significant role in post-earthquake recovery of the mechanical and hydrological properties of seismogenic zones. However, the relationship between the widespread quartz veins around seismogenic zones and earthquake recurrence is poorly understood.

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1887-1904, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

The 2021–2022 Fukushima‐Oki Earthquakes in Northeastern Japan: Dehydration Triggered Fault Reactivation Boosted by Slab Segmentation

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The 2021–2022 Fukushima‐Oki earthquakes in northeastern Japan provide a valuable opportunity to deepen our understanding of intraslab earthquakes generated by the reactivation of subducted outer‐rise bending faults. This study integrates high‐resolution seismic velocity models with numerical modeling results to investigate the roles of slab ...

A Transient Coastal Uplift Event Revealed by Pleistocene Marine Terraces Along the 2015 M8.3 Illapel Earthquake Rupture, Chile

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Uplifted Pleistocene marine terraces in the Illapel area along the forearc of central Chile record spatially and temporally variable uplift rates on glacial‐cycle timescales. However, the underlying mechanisms for this uplift variability and its potential relationship with the megathrust‐earthquake cycle remain poorly understood.

Elastic properties of rocks from the seismogenic zone and minimum fault size to nucleate megathrust earthquakes

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The elastic properties of rocks in subduction zones are indicators of the stress states and determine the critical length required for earthquake nucleation.

Estimation of Recurrence Interval of Large Earthquakes on the Central Longmen Shan Fault Zone Based on Seismic Moment Accumulation/Release Model

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Recurrence interval of large earthquake on an active fault zone is an important parameter in assessing seismic hazard. The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (Mw 7.9) occurred on the central Longmen Shan fault zone and ruptured the Yingxiu-Beichuan fault (YBF) and

The Role of Crustal Rheology and Mantle Fluids on the Interseismic Behavior of the Main Marmara Fault

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Faults can release tectonic loading either in the form of seismic events or via aseismic creep. The Main Marmara Fault (MMF) in the Sea of Marmara exhibits both locked and creeping behavior and poses a significant hazard to the megacity of Istanbul.

The rupture process of the Hualien M7.3 sequence on April 3, 2024

Earthquake Research Advances
The Hualien M 7.3 earthquake on April 3, 2024, was a significant and strong earthquake in Taiwan, China in the past two decades. The rupture process of the main shock and strong aftershocks is of great significance to the subsequent seismic activity and ...

Geodetic Constraints on Fault Kinematics and Dynamics of 2021 Maduo Earthquake: Implications for Fault Friction

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Postseismic afterslip has been inferred to occur on fault barriers surrounding coseismic asperities, which can be explained by velocity‐strengthening friction in barriers and velocity‐weakening friction in asperities. However, afterslip also exhibits spatial overlap with coseismic slip for some events.

Block Kinematics, Interseismic Coupling and Fault Slip Rates in the Aegean Region From GPS and Earthquake Slip Vector Data: 1. Upper Plate Structures

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We represent the active deformation of the Aegean region with an elastic‐kinematic block model composed of a finite number of rotating crustal blocks whose boundaries coincide with major active structures. A total of 832 GPS velocities and 146 earthquake slip vectors were inverted to provide estimates of block rotations and interseismic ...
