We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W⁠, rupture length L⁠, rupture
area A⁠, and average slip D⁠, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

Fossil coral microatolls from fringing reefs above the great (MW 8.6) megathrust rupture of
2005 record uplift during the historically reported great earthquake of 1861. Such evidence …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with
spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw …

Coseismic coastal deformation is often used to understand slip on offshore faults in large
earthquakes but in the 2016 MW 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake multiple faults ruptured across …

We determine coseismic and the first-month postseismic deformation associated with the
Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 from near-field Global Positioning …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

We analyze the Mw7. 6 Kashmir earthquake of October 8, 2005, using sub-pixel correlation
of ASTER images to measure ground deformation, and modeling seismic waveforms. The …

Laboratory simulations of earthquakes show that at high slip rates, faults can weaken
significantly, aiding rupture,,. Various mechanisms, such as thermal pressurization and flash …

Geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements of interseismic strain above the Sumatran
portion of the Sunda subduction zone reveal a heterogeneous pattern of coupling. Annual …
