Cascading Rupture of a Conjugate Oblique Faulting Rift in the 2025 Dingri Southern Tibetan Plateau Earthquake: A Typical Slow‐to‐Fast Process

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The 2025 Mw7.1 Dingri earthquake is the largest normal‐faulting event in southern Tibetan plateau recorded with near‐field observations. By integrating back‐projection imaging, multi‐point‐source inversion, and finite‐fault modeling, we reveal that the rupture propagated at variable speeds in a cascading manner across a complex conjugate fault

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 ...

TECTONOPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION OF EARTHQUAKE FOCAL MECHANISMS OF THE ZAGROS SYSTEM

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
Structural-paragenetic and kinematic methods of tectonophysics are applied to study earthquake focal mechanisms of the Zagros system. Nodal planes of focal mechanisms are identified as L-, L′- and R-, R′-shears by the first method, whereby coordinates of

Dip angles of active faults from the surface to the seismogenic zone inferred from a 2D numerical analysis of visco-elasto-plastic models: a case study for the Osaka Plain

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
The geometries (i.e., dip angles) of active faults from the surface to the seismogenic zone are the most important factors used to evaluate earthquake ground motion, which is crucial for seismic hazard assessments in urban areas. In Osaka, a metropolitan

The TsuJal Amphibious Seismic Network: A Passive-Source Seismic Experiment in Western Mexico

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The geodynamic complexity in the western Mexican margin is controlled by the multiple interactions between the Rivera, Pacific, Cocos, and North American plates, as evidenced by a high seismicity rate, most of whose hypocenters are poorly located.

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 ...

Temperature Dependence of Fault Frictional Healing in Quartz Gouges at Hydrothermal Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Fault healing allows the accumulation of stress along faults during interseismic periods. In this critical stage, temperature‐dependent fluid‐rock interactions within fault zones become crucial at seismogenic depth in controlling fault strength recovery. However, frictional healing at hydrothermal conditions is still underexplored.
