Rupture Process of Subduction-Zone Earthquakes [PDF]
, 1986 This review is primarily concerned with the rupture process of large subduction-zone earthquakes determined by various seismological methods, and with its interpretation in terms of an asperity model.

Ground‐Motion Aleatory‐Variability Models for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.I develop independent logic trees for aleatory variability for crustal and subduction‐zone (interface and intraslab) earthquakes for seismic hazards analyses in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI) from existing suites of ground‐motion models (GMMs) and from ground‐motion datasets, including a regional PRVI dataset.

Inference of a seismic gap from geological data: Thessaly ( Central Greece) as a case study
Annals of Geophysics, 1995 As a result of neotectonic, morphotectonic and seismotectonic research it is now possible to draw detailed maps of the major active faults affecting Thessaly, a large region of continental Greece.

Seismotectonics zoning of Morocco and adjacent region [PDF]
, 2013 In the present work, a new seismotectonics zoning of the Morocco and adjacent region is proposed. It is supported on a new database including recent geological (active faults, slip rates, geometrical characteristics, chronology of some recent tectonic ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.This study presents an updated probabilistic seismic hazard analysis model for Northeastern Brazil, a stable continental region, taking into account more comprehensive epistemic uncertainties compared to previous studies, which is critical for robust decision making related to earthquake risk management.

Evidence for mechanical coupling and strong Indian lower crust beneath southern Tibet [PDF]
, 2011 How surface deformation within mountain ranges relates to tectonic processes at depth is not well understood. The upper crust of the Tibetan Plateau is generally thought to be poorly coupled to the underthrusting Indian crust because of an intervening ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 316-332, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous ...

Tectonics of source zones of strong earthquakes in the southeastern part of the Greater Caucasus
Геология и геофизика Юга России, 2023 The features of the distribution of earthquake sources in the territory of Azerbaijan have been studied. It has been identified that the sources of strong earthquakes are confined to zones of concentration of weak seismic shocks, which are inherent in ...

Seismotectonic study of the Fergana region (Southern Kyrgyzstan): distribution and kinematics of local seismicity [PDF]
, 2015 We present new seismicity and focal-mechanism data for the Fergana basin and surrounding mountain belts in western Kyrgyzstan from a temporary local seismic network.

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...
