Source model for the 1997 Zirkuh earthquake (MW: 7.2) in Iran derived from JERS and ERS InSAR observations [PDF]
We present the first detailed source model of the 1997 M7.2 Zirkuh earthquake that ruptured the entire Abiz fault in East Iran producing a 125 km long, bended and segmented fault trace.

Distribution of strike‐slip faults on Europa [PDF]
Study of four different regions on Europa imaged by the Galileo spacecraft during its first 15 orbits has revealed 117 strike‐slip faults. Europa appears to form preferentially right‐lateral faults in the southern hemisphere and left‐lateral faults in the northern hemisphere.

Neotectonics of the Sumatran fault, Indonesia [PDF]
The 1900-km-long, trench-parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of the right-lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and Indian/Australian plates from 10°N to 7°S.

Seismic source in the Iberian-African plate boundary [PDF]
The plate boundary between Iberia and Africa has been studied using data on seismicity and focal mechanisms. The region has been divided into three areas: A; the Gulf of Cadiz; B, the Betics, Alboran Sea and northern Morocco; and C, Algeria.

Role of Intraplate Strike-Slip Earthquakes in Accommodating Convergence Across the Eastern Himalayan Plate Boundary System [PDF]
North-East India, at the eastern extremity of the Himalaya, is one of the most rapidly deforming intraplate regions. The tectonics of this region is shaped by oblique convergence between two nearly perpendicular plate boundaries of the Eastern Himalaya ...

Subduction and vertical coastal motions in the eastern Mediterranean [PDF]
Convergence in the eastern Mediterranean of oceanic Nubia with Anatolia and the Aegean is complex and poorly understood. Large volumes of sediment obscure the shallow structure of the subduction zone, and since much of the convergence is accommodated ...

Faulting patterns in the Lower Yarmouk Gorge potentially influence groundwater flow paths [PDF]
Recent studies investigating groundwater parameters, e.g., heads, chemical composition, and heat transfer, argued that groundwater flow paths in the Lower Yarmouk Gorge (LYG) area are controlled by geological features such as faults or dikes.

Triggered seismicity associated with the 1990 Nicoya, Costa Rica, M-w=7.0 earthquake [PDF]
The 25 March 1990 (M-w = 7.0) subduction megathrust earthquake that occurred offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, produced a large number of aftershocks on the subduction plate interface as expected and preceded an unusual sequence of earthquakes ...
