Rock fracture under upper crustal conditions is driven not only by applied stresses, but also
by time-dependent, chemically activated subcritical cracking processes. These subcritical …

In a context of global change and increasing anthropic pressure on the environment,
monitoring the Earth system and its evolution has become one of the key missions of …

For the first time in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) history, the
ITRF2014 is generated with an enhanced modeling of nonlinear station motions, including …

Anthropogenic fluid injections are known to induce earthquakes. The mechanisms involved
are poorly understood, and our ability to assess the seismic hazard associated with …

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 …

The discovery of slow-slip phenomena has revolutionized our understanding of how faults
accommodate relative plate motions. Faults were previously thought to relieve stress either …

Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

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 …

Large shallow earthquakes are immediately followed by numerous aftershocks. A significant
portion of these events is missing in existing earthquake catalogues, mainly because …

The assimilation of geological, geophysical, and laboratory data in physics-based models of
fault dynamics promises increasingly realistic simulations of the seismic cycle. To assist this …
