Faults are ubiquitous throughout the Earth's crust. The majority are silent for decades to
centuries, until they suddenly rupture and produce earthquakes. With a focus on shallow …

Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

Metamorphic core complexes are products of normal-fault displacements sufficient to
exhume rocks from below the brittle–ductile transition. These faults (detachments) may …

A global compilation of shear stress magnitude from mylonites developed along major fault
zones suggests that maximum shear stresses between 80 and 120 MPa are reached at …

We present results from a comprehensive laboratory study of the frictional strength and
constitutive properties for all three active strands of the San Andreas Fault penetrated in the …

Native and fluid circulation‐induced metamorphic products may affect the stability of faults in
geothermal reservoirs–particularly epidote (Ep) and chlorite (Cl). Our laboratory experiments …

Neoformed minerals in shallow fault rocks are increasingly recognized as key to the
behavior of faults in the elasto-frictional regime, but neither the conditions nor the processes …

Results of a detailed field study of the southern onshore portion of New Zealand's Alpine
Fault reveal that for 75 km along‐strike, dextral‐normal slip on this long‐lived structure is …

The complex fault and fracture patterns commonly observed in metamorphic terranes are the
cumulative expression of repeated episodes of brittle deformation. The temporal sequence …

Temperature plays a critical role in defining the seismogenic zone, the area of the crust
where earthquakes most commonly occur; however, thermal controls on fault ruptures are …
