Seismic cycles, size of the largest events, and the avalanche size distribution in a model of seismicity [PDF]
, 2012 We address several questions on the behavior of a numerical model recently introduced to study seismic phenomena, that includes relaxation in the plates as a key ingredient.

Quaternary tectonic and depositional evolution of eastern Srem (northwest Serbia) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2014 The area of eastern Srem is situated in the southern periphery of the Pannonian basin. Its depositional evolution during the Neogene and the Quaternary has been controlled by tectonic processes. Miocene extensional subsidence was followed by the

Constraints on fault and lithosphere rheology from the coseismic slip and postseismic afterslip of the 2006 M_w 7.0 Mozambique earthquake [PDF]
, 2012 The 2006 M_w 7.0 Mozambique (Machaze) normal-faulting earthquake ruptured an unusually steeply dipping fault plane (~75°). The amount of slip in the earthquake decreased from depths of ~10 km toward the surface, and this shallow slip deficit was at least

Author Correction: Multiscale variations of the crustal stress field throughout North America
Nature Communications, 2020 The Earth’s crustal stress field controls active deformation and reflects the processes driving plate tectonics. Here we present the first quantitative synthesis of relative principal stress magnitudes throughout North America together with hundreds of ...

A stress-controlled mechanism for the intensity of very large magnitude explosive eruptions [PDF]
, 2011 Large magnitude explosive eruptions are the result of the rapid and large-scale transport of silicic magma stored in the Earth's crust, but the mechanics of erupting teratonnes of silicic magma remain poorly understood.

Pre-Spud Mud Loss Flow Rate in Steeply Folded Structures
Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2014 In this paper, a new method that predicts the pre-spud mud loss flow rate in formations with tectonic fractures of steeply folded structures is proposed.
