Spatio-temporal evolution of intraplate strike-slip faulting: the Neogene-Quaternary Kuh-e-Faghan Fault, Central Iran [PDF]
, 2016 Central Iran provides an ideal region to study the long-term morphotectonic response to the nucleation and propagation of intraplate faulting. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates structural and stratigraphic field investigations ...

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013 A forward modeling of P-waves for the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake revealed at least seven sub-events that occurred during faulting with the largest event (i.e., the third sub-event) located at a position ~50 km northeast of the epicenter.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 The increased seismic activity of the last ~10 years in Changning county of Sichuan Province comprised just small (mostly ML < 5.0) injection‐induced earthquakes. The MW 5.7 earthquake on June 17, 2019, is the largest event ever reported there.

Seismicity and Active Compressional Tectonics in Santa Monica Bay, Southern California [PDF]
, 1989 During 1973–1986 the seismicity in Santa Monica Bay consisted of an average of four events per year of M_L ≥ 2.5, in addition to the 1979 Malibu (M_L = 5.0) mainshock-aftershock sequence.

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

From Oblique Thrust to Strike-Slip Fault: Progressive Stages of an Accretionary Wedge Development [PDF]
LithosphereAccretionary wedges of orogenic belts develop differently based on the direction of thrusting, which can be perpendicular to oblique to the belt. In the case of oblique thrusting, stress partitioning occurs, which dissects the accretionary wedge, changes

Sea Beam Survey of an Active Strike-Slip Fault: The San Clemente Fault in the California Continental Borderland [PDF]
, 1989 The San Clemente fault, located in the California Continental Borderland, is an active, northwest trending, right-lateral, wrench fault. Sea Beam data are used to map the major tectonic landforms associated with active submarine faulting in detail ...

Influence of lateral heterogeneities on strike-slip fault behaviour: insights from analogue models [PDF]
Solid EarthThis study investigates how lithological changes can affect the strike-slip fault propagation patterns using analogue models. Strike-slip fault zones are long structures that may cut across pre-existing tectonic or lithological steep boundaries.
