Bimodal seismicity in the Himalaya controlled by fault friction and geometry

L Dal Zilio, Y van Dinther, T Gerya, JP Avouac - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
There is increasing evidence that the Himalayan seismicity can be bimodal: blind
earthquakes (up to Mw~ 7.8) tend to cluster in the downdip part of the seismogenic zone …

Subduction earthquake cycles controlled by episodic fluid pressure cycling

L Dal Zilio, T Gerya - Lithos, 2022 - Elsevier
In subduction zones, fluids are often invoked to explain slip processes on the megathrust,

Complex earthquake sequences on simple faults

C Cattania - Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
While power law distributions in seismic moment and interevent times are ubiquitous in
regional earthquake catalogs, the statistics of individual faults remains controversial …
