Quantifying the slip rates, spatial distribution and evolution of active normal faults from geomorphic analysis: Field examples from an oblique-extensional graben, southern Turkey [PDF]

, 2009
Quantifying the extent to which geomorphic features can be used to extract tectonic signals is a key challenge in the Earth Sciences. Here we analyse the drainage patterns, geomorphic impact, and long profiles of bedrock rivers that drain across and ...

Diffusion of a passive scalar from a no-slip boundary into a two-dimensional chaotic advection field [PDF]

, 1998
Using a time-periodic perturbation of a two-dimensional steady separation bubble on a plane no-slip boundary to generate chaotic particle trajectories in a localized region of an unbounded boundary layer flow, we study the impact of various geometrical ...

Dependence of Coseismic Landslide Distribution Patterns on Fault Movement

Applied Sciences
Faults are the primary drivers of earthquakes and exert a strong control on rupture mechanisms, earthquake magnitude, and the spatial distribution of coseismic landslides (CLs).

High resolution 3D laser scanner measurements of a strike-slip fault quantify its morphological anisotropy at all scales [PDF]

, 2006
The surface roughness of a recently exhumed strikeslip fault plane has been measured by three independent 3D portable laser scanners. Digital elevation models of several fault surface areas, from 1 m2 to 600 m2, have been measured at a resolution ranging

Slow slip events following the afterslip of the 2002 Mw 7.1 Hualien offshore earthquake, Taiwan

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
Geodetic evidence for slow slip recurrence changed by stress perturbations was rare, especially from afterslip following a nearby large earthquake. The first observed slow slip events in the southernmost Ryukyu subduction had occurred in 2005, 2009, and ...

Stick-Slip Motion and Phase Transition in a Block-Spring System

, 2002
We study numerically stick slip motions in a model of blocks and springs being pulled slowly. The sliding friction is assumed to change dynamically with a state variable.

A continuum model for dislocation dynamics in three dimensions using the dislocation density potential functions and its application in understanding the micro-pillar size effect

, 2015
In this paper, we present a dislocation-density-based three-dimensional continuum model, where the dislocation substructures are represented by pairs of dislocation density potential functions (DDPFs), denoted by $\phi$ and $\psi$.

Source Parameter Estimation of the 2009 Ms6.0 Yao’an Earthquake, Southern China, Using InSAR Observations

Remote Sensing, 2019
On 9 July 2009, an Ms6.0 earthquake occurred in mountainous area of Yao’an in Yunnan province of Southern China. Although the magnitude of the earthquake was moderate, it attracted the attention of many Earth scientists because of its threat to the
