Spontaneous rupture on natural fractures and seismic radiation during hydraulic fracturing treatments

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
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

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2016
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

Fluid‐Driven Cohesive Strengthening: Critical Role of Reaction Kinetics as the Determinant for Frictional Stability

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Following an earthquake, faults lock and regain strength via a combination of healing mechanisms that include pressure solution, contact growth, and cementation. Fault healing dictates strength recovery during the seismic cycle and is therefore a key factor controlling earthquake recurrence intervals, stress drop, and other source properties ...

THE CURRENT STATE OF CRUSTAL STRESSES IN THE CAUCASUS ACCORDING TO THE UNIFIED CATALOGUE OF EARTHQUAKE FOCAL MECHANISMS

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020
The current state of crustal stresses in the Caucasus and adjacent territories has been reconstructed. Stress inversion was performed by the cataclastic analysis of earthquake focal mechanisms considered as seismological strain indicators.

Metamorphic Dehydration, Fluid Pressure, and the Frictional‐Viscous Transition Along Subduction Megathrusts: Case Study in Cascadia and Implications for Slow Earthquakes

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Relative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Evidence for non-coaxiality of ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic fabrics, developed during magma flow and cooling in a thick mafic dyke, Tectonophysics, Volume 629, 26 August 2014, Pages 155-164.

open access: yes, 2014
A detailed analysis of fabrics of the chilled margin of a thick dolerite dyke (FoumZguid dyke, SouthernMorocco) was performed in order to better understand the development of sub-fabrics during dyke emplacement and cooling.

TECTONOPHYSICAL EVIDENCES OF GEODYNAMIC EVOLUTION OF THE PRIKOLYMA TERRAIN (NORTH-EASTERN REGIONS OF RUSSIA)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The Prikolyma terrain is a part of the Yana-Kolyma orogenic belt located in the North Eastern Asia. It is generally composed of the Proterozoic deposits, including sandstones, metapellites, quartz-feldspar and carbonate rocks, meta- and hyperbasites. The

Widespread Impact‐Induced Crustal Permeability on the Early Earth

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The early Earth (i.e., Archean and Hadean Eons, 2.5–4.0 and 4.0–4.5 Ga, respectively) experienced frequent cosmic bombardment. Impacts have been shown to stimulate crustal alteration, for instance via hydrothermal systems active for up to millions of years post‐impact.

New Insights Into Hikurangi Subduction Inputs and Megathrust Host Rocks Spanning Along‐Margin Changes in Fault Slip Behavior

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.
