Multi‐Scale Rate‐ and Roughness‐Dependent Frictional Constitutive Law and Dynamic Earthquake Sequence Simulation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The physical mechanisms that govern the multi‐scale source properties of earthquakes, such as fracture energy scaling, where the dynamic energy dissipation of earthquakes scales with fault slip, remain debatable. We introduced the rate‐ and roughness‐dependent friction (RRF) law which accounts for the multi‐scale roughness evolution of the ...

Source Parameters of the 1906 Manas (Mw 7.7), 1944 Xinyuan (Mw 7.2) and 1812 Nilke Earthquakes and Seismotectonics of the Borohoro Shan, Western China

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1906 Manas Earthquake is the largest earthquake recorded in the Borohoro Shan (BRS) since 1900. The reported magnitude ranges from 7.2 to 8.3, but uncertainties remain regarding its size, mechanism, and responsible fault. Similar confusion exists for the 1812 Nilke and 1944 Xinyuan Earthquakes, the only other Mw > 7 earthquakes in the NE ...

Women's Labor Force Participation After Disasters: The Case of Nurdağı, Türkiye, Following Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Economic functionality is essential for the recovery of cities and communities following disasters. A crucial factor in reducing business disruptions and guaranteeing their continuity is the capacity of employees to resume work. Facilitating the reintegration of employees into the workforce can expedite their post‐disaster recovery process and assist ...

Numerical investigation of the response of the Yele rockfill dam during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper the seismic response of a well-documented Chinese rockfill dam, Yele dam, is simulated and investigated employing the dynamic hydro-mechanically (HM) coupled finite element (FE) method.

Seismicity, Repeating Earthquakes, and Tomographic Imaging of the Blanco Transform Fault System, Northeast Pacific

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.
