The 2019 MW 5.7 Changning Earthquake, Sichuan Basin, China: A Shallow Doublet With Different Faulting Styles

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.

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 ...

Multiple Event Analysis of the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan Earthquake: Implications for Variations in Radiated Seismic Energy During Faulting

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.

Variable Thrust Rates of the Eastern Qilianshan Mountain Front, Northeastern Margin of the Tibet Plateau and Its Implication to the Topography of the Yongchangnan Shan

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
It is commonly assumed a thrust has a constant slip and uplifting rate along strike, however, this simplified model cannot always be consistent with field observations.

Normal fault earthquakes or graviquakes [PDF]

, 2015
Earthquakes are dissipation of energy throughout elastic waves. Canonically is the elastic energy accumulated during the interseismic period. However, in crustal extensional settings, gravity is the main energy source for hangingwall fault collapsing ...

Influence of lateral heterogeneities on strike-slip fault behaviour: insights from analogue models [PDF]

Solid Earth
This 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.

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 ...

From Oblique Thrust to Strike-Slip Fault: Progressive Stages of an Accretionary Wedge Development [PDF]

Lithosphere
Accretionary 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

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.
