The influence of fault geometry on small strike-slip fault mechanics [PDF]
Journal of Structural Geology, 2015 Abstract Meter-scale subvertical strike-slip fault traces in the central Californian Sierra Nevada exhibit geometric complexities that significantly contribute to their mechanical behavior. Sections of faults that opened at depth channelized fluid flow, as evidenced by hydrothermal mineral infillings and alteration haloes.

Dynamic Rupture Modeling of the Transition from Thrust to Strike-Slip Motion in the 2002 Denali Fault Earthquake, Alaska [PDF]
, 2004 We use three-dimensional dynamic (spontaneous) rupture models to investigate the nearly simultaneous ruptures of the Susitna Glacier thrust fault and the Denali strike-slip fault.

Constraints on the active tectonics of the Friuli/NW Slovenia area from CGPS measurements and three-dimensional kinematic modeling [PDF]
, 2009 We use site velocities from continuous GPS (CGPS) observations and kinematic modeling to investigate the active tectonics of the Friuli/NW Slovenia area.

SeismicaThe classic Andersonian model of faulting is difficult to apply to plate boundaries with oblique motion, as displacement is accommodated across oblique-slip faults, or it is partitioned into distinct strike-slip and dip-slip faults. Here, we investigate

Interseismic strain accumulation: Spin-up, cycle invariance, and irregular rupture sequences [PDF]
, 2006 Using models of infinite length strike-slip faults in an elastic layer above linear viscoelastic regions, we investigate interseismic deformation. In the models we investigate, interseismic strain accumulation on mature faults is the result of the ...

Shiyou shiyan dizhiIn order to investigate the influence of pre-existing faults and their angle (α) with different extension directions on oblique extension deformation and sag structure in multiphase rift basins, three sets of analogue experiments were designed based on ...

Syntectonic crustal melting and high-grade metamorphism in a transpressional regime, Variscan Massif Central, France [PDF]
, 2009 Hot collisional orogens are characterized by abundant syn-kinematic granitic magmatism that profoundly affects their tectono-thermal evolutions. Voluminous granitic magmas, emplaced between 360 and 270 Ma, played a visibly important role in the evolution

Displacement hazard from distributed ruptures of strike-slip faults in the Tibetan plateau
Frontiers in Earth ScienceLarge strike-slip earthquakes are generally characterized by long surface rupture zones and relatively concentrated displacement distribution. The displacements on main seismogenic faults have been well studied and assessed by numerous empirical ...

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.
