Stress Drop and Seismic Efficiency Distributions Over the Adriatic Indenter (European Southeastern Alps)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Seismic source parameters, such as seismic moment, stress drop, and radiated energy, are key to understanding earthquake dynamics and rupture processes. In this study, we apply a non‐parametric Generalized Inversion Technique (GIT) to characterize the source properties of 735 earthquakes (local magnitudes 1.65 ≤ ML ≤ 4.55) recorded between ...

The Effect of Hydraulic Fracturing on the 2021 Ms 6.0 Luxian Earthquake as Revealed by Deformation and Numerical Simulations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates whether hydraulic fracturing contributed to the 2021 Ms 6.0 Luxian earthquake in the Sichuan Basin. Time‐series InSAR analysis of multi‐temporal Sentinel‐1 data reveals coseismic deformation associated with the 2021 Luxian earthquake and localized uplift near hydraulic fracturing platforms.

Genesis of continental seismogenic zone and a new fault zone model

open access: yesChinese 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 ...

Thermal models of the Mexico subduction zone: Implications for the megathrust seismogenic zone [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2002
It has been proposed that the seismogenic zone of subduction thrust faults is primarily controlled by temperature or rock composition changes. We have developed numerical models of the thermal structure of the Mexico subduction zone to examine the factors that affect the temperature of the subduction thrust fault. Although the oceanic plates subducting

The relationship between structure and seismogenic behaviour in subduction zones

open access: yes, 2014
The largest earthquakes on Earth take place on the megathrusts of subduction zones, but the slip behavior of megathrusts is variable. This thesis considers why by conducting local, regional and global studies of the interrelationships between the ...

The Role of Mafic Intrusion in Seismotectonics: Insights From the 1668 M 8.5 Tancheng Earthquake Rupture Zone Along the Tan‐Lu Fault Zone, Eastern China

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Tan‐Lu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the largest lithosphere‐scale strike‐slip fault in eastern China, has experienced multiple tectonic stages and remains high seismic activity, including the 1668 Tancheng earthquake (M 8.5). Here we employ dense‐array receiver functions to resolve crustal thickness, Vp/Vs ratio, and seismic discontinuities in the ...

Influence of Subduction Zone Dynamics on Interface Shear Stress and Potential Relationship With Seismogenic Behavior

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Whether tectonic convergence at subduction zones is accommodated predominantly through seismic or aseismic deformation, the former potentially generating large earthquakes, varies considerably between subduction margins. This margin‐scale variability has

Complex Shallow Unilateral Rupture of the 2025 Mw 7.0 Hubbard Glacier Earthquake Terminated by a Restraining Bend on the Connector Fault

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...
