Earthquake source parameters of the 2009 Mw 7.8 Fiordland (New Zealand) earthquake from L-band InSAR observations [PDF]

, 2011
The 2009 MW7.8 Fiordland (New Zealand) earthquake is the largest to have occurred in New Zealand since the 1931 Mw 7.8 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, 1 000 km to the northwest.

Applying the Coulomb Failure Function with an optimally oriented plane to the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggering [PDF]

, 2010
The Coulomb failure function (CFF) quantitatively describes static stress changes in secondary faults near the source fault of an earthquake. CFF can be employed to monitor how static stress transfers and then shed some light on the probability of ...

Creep fronts and complexity in laboratory earthquake sequences illuminate delayed earthquake triggering

Nature Communications, 2022
Laboratory earthquake experiments reproduce delayed earthquake triggering, similar to aftershocks, as a result of propagating slow slip fronts. The speed of the fronts can be highly sensitive to fault stress levels left behind by previous earthquakes.

The global earthquake history

, 2014
The study of earthquakes from historical sources, or historical seismology, was considered an early priority for the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) project, which commissioned a study of historical seismicity on a global scale.

A comparison of the governance landscape of earthquake risk reduction in Nepal and the Indian State of Bihar [PDF]

, 2016
On 25 April 2015, a Mw 7.8 earthquake struck central Nepal, killing more than 8,700 people. An earthquake of this magnitude has long been anticipated in Nepal and the neighbouring northern Indian state of Bihar, which straddle the active Himalayan ...

2022 Mw 6.6 Luding, China, Earthquake: A Strong Continental Event Illuminating the Moxi Seismic Gap

, 2023
On 5 September 2022, an Mw 6.6 strike-slip earthquake occurred in Luding, Sichuan, China. It illuminates the seismic gap on the southern end of Xianshuihe fault zone, that is Moxi segment, and is the most damaging earthquake in Chinese Mainland since ...

Subdaily Slow Fault Slip Dynamics Captured by Low‐Frequency Earthquakes

AGU Advances, 2023
Geodetic positioning is the geophysical record of reference for slow slip events, but typical daily solutions limit studies of the evolution of slow slip to its long‐term dynamics.

Defining the Relationship between Seismicity and Deformation at Regional and Local Scales [PDF]

, 2013
In this thesis, I use source inversion methods to improve understanding of crustal deformation along the Nyainquentanglha (NQTL) Detachment in Southern Tibet and the Piceance Basin in northwestern Colorado.

Characteristic activities of slow earthquakes in Japan

Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2020
Slow earthquakes are a recently discovered phenomenon that mainly occur updip and downdip of the seismogenic zones of great earthquakes along the subducting plate interface. The spatiotemporal activity of various slow earthquakes occurring in the Nankai subduction zone is characterized by along-strike heterogeneity and along-dip systematic changes ...
