Tectonic evolution of the southern part of Central Viet Nam and the adjacent area
Interpretations of seismic, gravity and magnetic anomalies and structural data on the coastal zone of southern part of Central Viet Nam (SCVN) and the adjacent Tertiary basins suggest several phases in the tectonic evolution of the study region since the

Abstract We present a high‐resolution local earthquake tomography model that constrains the distribution of hydration and dehydration processes within the subducting Nazca slab beneath Northern Chile. We image a distinct downdip transition from high Vp/Vs (∼1.75) over low Vp/Vs (∼1.65) to a homogeneously high Vp/Vs slab at depths of ≥ ${\ge} $85 km ...

Hydraulic Control of the Foreshocks and Mainshock of the 2017 Valparaíso, Chile, Earthquake
Abstract Slow‐slip events (SSE) are a key mode of aseismic deformation and can enhance fault permeability through fracturing, enabling fluid migration from the overpressured oceanic crust to the plate interface. Whether the resulting poroelastic stress changes promote seismicity and larger megathrust events, however, remains unclear.

The paper presents the first tectonophysical reconstruction of initial divisibility of the protolithosphere as a result of convection in the cooling primitive mantle. Initial division of the protolithosphere into separate masses, i.e.

Abstract The Southern Array for the Lithosphere and Uplift of Taiwan Experiment (SALUTE) provides a new window into the subduction‐collision transition zone in southern Taiwan, where the Eurasian Plate‐Luzon Arc convergence drives intense orogeny and crustal deformation. Using dense P‐ and S‐wave spectral amplitude data recorded by SALUTE and a quality

We extend spontaneous rupture models in earthquake source studies to analyze fluid injection problems. We perform these analyses on a 2‐D fracture network model with a propagating hydraulic fracture (HF) and three sets of natural fractures (NFs). We find

TECTONOPHYSICAL SIGNS OF THE FORMATION OF STRONG EARTHQUAKE FOCI IN SEISMIC ZONES OF CENTRAL ASIA
Vibrations of the Earth crust and variations in the physical fields of the Earth atmosphere and ionosphere are continuously monitored by a variety of techniques and specialized facilities across the world. Nevertheless, most catastrophic earthquakes even

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.

Abstract The Yingxiu–Beichuan Fault Zone (YBFZ), located in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt (LSTB) on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, is highly seismically active. However, direct evidence of large earthquakes at depth is scarce. Here, we present rock magnetic, microstructural, and geochemical analyses of four fault zones from the Wenchuan Earthquake Fault ...
