Dynamics of Earthquake Faulting in Subduction Zones: Inference from Pseudotachylytes and Ultracataclasites in an Ancient Accretionary Complex [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2007 The fault rocks in ancient accretionary complexes exhumed from seismogenic depths may provide an invaluable opportunity to examine the mechanisms and mechanics of seismic slip in subduction thrusts and splay faults. In order to understand the dynamics of

Studying the seismogenic coupling zone with a passive seismic array [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2005 Subduction zones generate the world's largest and most destructive earthquakes and most of the world's destructive tsunamis, as has been recently shown by the devastating Andaman‐Sumatra event on 26 December 2004. Understanding the factors leading to Earth's largest and most destructive earthquakes is not only an “obviously important” goal, as stated ...

Bidirectional Loading of the Subduction Interface: Evidence From the Kinematics of Slow Slip Events
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Subduction zones host some of Earth's most damaging natural hazards, including megathrust earthquakes and earthquake‐induced tsunamis. A major control on the initiation and rupture characteristics of subduction megathrust earthquakes is how the coupled ...

Variations of the seismic b-value along the Dead Sea transform
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The frequency-magnitude distribution follows the Gutenberg-Richter empirical law, in which the scaling between small and large earthquakes is represented by the b-value.

Tectonic Geodesy as a Supplement Data in Seismology
AGG+Geodesy and its high precision are important instruments for the study of active tectonics and the presentation of the movement of solid parts of the earth. Deformations caused by earthquakes represent essential information for defining seismogenic zones.

Advanced Unified Earthquake Catalog for North East India
Applied Sciences, 2023 Northeast India is one of the world’s most seismically active regions. The event data included in this research for the period 1737–2012 is mostly obtained from worldwide database agencies such as ISC, NEIC, and GCMT.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 New earthquake focal mechanism and centroid depth estimates show that the deformation style in the forelands of the Andes is spatially correlated with rift systems that stretched the South American lithosphere in the Mesozoic.

A Novel Method for Seismogenic Zoning Based on Triclustering: Application to the Iberian Peninsula
Entropy, 2015 A previous definition of seismogenic zones is required to do a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for areas of spread and low seismic activity. Traditional zoning methods are based on the available seismic catalog and the geological structures.
