Buried shallow fault slip from the South Napa earthquake revealed by near-field geodesy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Earthquake-related fault slip in the upper hundreds of meters of Earths surface has remained largely unstudied because of challenges measuring deformation in the near field of a fault rupture.

Slip in the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The 3rd September 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield and 21st February 2011 Mw 6.3 Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquakes occurred on previously unknown faults. We use InSAR ground displacements, SAR amplitude offsets, field mapping, aerial photographs, satellite ...

Estimation of displacements along strike-slip fault on a million-year timescale: A case study of the AltynTagh fault system

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
Fault slip rate matters not only as one of the important parameters for quantitative study of Cenozoic tectonics but also a key element in geodynamic research.

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...

Role of two-stage strike slip faulting in the tectonic evolution of the Doseo depression in the central Africa rift system

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Doseo depression of Central African Rift System is an important onshore frontier area for oil and gas exploration in Africa, with rift development characterized by the dual control of fault-depression development and strike slip faulting.

Stochastic strike-slip fault as earthquake source model

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
It is known that the source of a tectonic earthquake in the framework of the theory of elasticity and viscoelasticity is considered as a displacement along a certain fault surface. Usually, when describing the source, the geometry of the fault surface is simplified to a flat rectangular area. The displacement vector is assumed to be constant.

Transform fault earthquakes in the North Atlantic: Source mechanisms and depth of faulting [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The centroid depths and source mechanisms of 12 large earthquakes on transform faults of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge were determined from an inversion of long-period body waveforms.

Superimposed characteristics and genetic mechanism of strike-slip faults in the Bohai Sea, China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2019
Based on the 3D seismic structure interpretation of Bohai Sea, combined with physical modeling of structure, structural style analysis and apatite fission track simulation, the structural characteristics and genetic mechanism of the Cenozoic strike-slip ...

Numerical Investigation on the Dynamic Response of Fault-Crossing Tunnels under Strike-Slip Fault Creep-Slip and Subsequent Seismic Shaking

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Tunnels built in geologically active areas are prone to severe damage due to fault dislocation and subsequent earthquakes. Using the Ngong tunnel in the East African Rift Valley as an example, the dynamic response of a fault-crossing tunnel and the ...

Volcano instability induced by strike-slip faulting

open access: yesBulletin of Volcanology, 2000
Analogue sand cone experiments were conducted to study instability generated on volcanic cones by basal strike-slip movement. The results of the analogue models demonstrate that edifice instability may be generated when strike-slip faults underlying a volcano move as a result of tectonic adjustment.
