The Marsquake service: Securing daily analysis of SEIS data and building the Martian seismicity catalogue for InSight

J Clinton, D Giardini, M Böse, S Ceylan… - Space Science …, 2018 - Springer
The InSight mission expects to operate a geophysical observatory on Mars for at least two

Location of largest earthquake slip and fast rupture controlled by along‐strike change in fault structural maturity due to fault growth

C Perrin, I Manighetti, JP Ampuero… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Fault segmentation as constraint to the occurrence of the main shocks of the 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence

A Pizzi, A Di Domenica, F Gallovič, L Luzi, R Puglia - Tectonics, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We perform the finite‐extent fault inversion of the three main events of the 2016 Central Italy
seismic sequence using near‐source strong motion records. We demonstrate that both …

Fault trace corrugation and segmentation as a measure of fault structural maturity

I Manighetti, A Mercier… - Geophysical Research …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
As faults grow over time and become more “mature,” some of their geometrical and
mechanical properties evolve, and these changes modify earthquake behavior. It is thus of …

Fault segmentation: New concepts from the Wasatch fault zone, Utah, USA

CB DuRoss, SF Personius, AJ Crone… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The question of whether structural segment boundaries along multisegment normal faults
such as the Wasatch fault zone (WFZ) act as persistent barriers to rupture is critical to …

Accounting for uncertain fault geometry in earthquake source inversions–I: theory and simplified application

T Ragon, A Sladen, M Simons - Geophysical Journal …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
The ill-posed nature of earthquake source estimation derives from several factors including
the quality and quantity of available observations and the fidelity of our forward theory …

Along‐strike variation in the initiation timing of the north‐trending rifts in southern Tibet as revealed from the Yadong‐Gulu rift

S Bian, J Gong, AV Zuza, R Yang, L Chen, J Ji, X Yu… - …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
A key issue in the Cenozoic evolution of the Tibetan plateau is the geodynamic drivers for
north‐trending rifting in southern Tibet. Recent studies have demonstrated an eastward …

on mapped active faults, we measure map‐scale complexities including fault bends …

Interseismic strain accumulation across the central North Anatolian Fault from iteratively unwrapped InSAR measurements

E Hussain, A Hooper, TJ Wright… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is a major tectonic feature in the Middle East and is
the most active fault in Turkey. The central portion of the NAF is a region of Global …
