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 …

Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts.
We present a comparison of subduction-accretion mélanges of different ages to test how …

The aim of this review is to characterize the role of pressure solution creep in the ductility of
the Earth's upper crust and to describe how this creep mechanism competes and interacts …

The terms mélange and broken formation have been used in different ways in the literature.
The lack of agreement on their definition often leads to confusion and misinterpretations. An …

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 …

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 …

Segments of the modern San Andreas fault experience creep behavior, which is attributed to
various factors, including (1) low values of effective normal stress,(2) elevated pore-fluid …

The serpentinized ultramafic rocks found in many plate‐tectonic settings commonly are
juxtaposed against crustal rocks along faults, and the chemical contrast between the rock …

Abstract At least 31 low-angle (< 35° dip at the time of initiation), high-displacement (> 1 km)
Cenozoic normal faults are identified on seismic reflection data onshore and offshore …

We describe the structural features and mineralogical and geochemical compositions of the
fault rocks recovered from boreholes at the Golden River site on the Yingxiu–Beichuan fault …
