Foreshocks are not uncommon prior to large earthquakes, but their physical mechanism
remains controversial. Two interpretations have been advanced:(1) foreshocks are driven by …

Fluids play an integral role in the geodynamical system, from consumption through
serpentinization at mid-ocean ridges and outer rises, to release through dehydration and …

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 …

Since their discovery two decades ago,, slow slip events have been shown to play an
important role in accommodating strain in subduction zones. However, the physical …

The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We
suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip …

Understanding the physical mechanisms governing fluid‐induced fault slip is important for
improved mitigation of seismic risks associated with large‐scale fluid injection. We …

Abstract The great Sumatra–Andaman earthquake and tsunami of 2004 was a dramatic
reminder of the importance of understanding the seismic and tsunami hazards of subduction …

We use about two decades of geodetic measurements to characterize interseismic strain
build up along the Central Andes subduction zone from Lima, Peru, to Antofagasta, Chile …

В монографии приведены результаты многолетних исследований закономерностей
деформирования нарушений сплошности массивов горных пород. На основе …

Pore fluid pressure plays an important role in the frictional strength and stability of tectonic
faults. We report on laboratory measurements of porosity changes associated with transient …
