Microphysical Modeling of Fault Slip and Stability Transition in Hydrothermal Conditions
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Field and laboratory observations indicate that the frictional behaviors of faults depend on hydrothermal conditions. We extend the microphysical Chen‐Niemeijer‐Spiers (CNS) model to hydrothermal conditions by using the observed temperature variation of ...

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

Ripplocations provide a new mechanism for the deformation of phyllosilicates in the lithosphere
Nature Communications, 2019 Phyllosilicate minerals are critical components of seismogenic fault, shear and subduction zones. Here, the authors provide a new deformation mechanism for phyllosilicates, based on newly discovered crystallographic defects in biotite (ripplocations ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.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.

ZONES OF SEISMOGENIC RUPTURES IN THE BAIKAL RIFT: SPATIAL LOCATION AND SEISMIC POTENTIAL
Геодинамика и тектонофизикаSeismic hazard assessment remains one of the priorities of tectonically active regions. It is based on the data for sesimogenic ruptures indicating the segments of active surface faults.

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 ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Seismologic studies have reported seismic velocities reduction and Vp/Vs ratio changes over damage zones associated with seismogenic faults. The structure and elastic properties of these damage zones indicate the maturity of faults and affect the rupture

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

Very Low Frequency Earthquakes in Between the Seismogenic and Tremor Zones in Cascadia?
AGU Advances, 2022 Megathrust earthquakes and their associated tsunamis cause some of the worst natural disasters. In addition to earthquakes, a wide range of slip behaviors are present at subduction zones, including slow earthquakes that span multiple orders of spatial ...
