As faults grow over time and become more “mature,” some of their geometrical and mechanical properties evolve, and these changes modify earthquake behavior. It is thus of …
Understanding the dominant physical processes that cause fault reactivation due to fluid injection is vital to develop strategies to avoid and mitigate injection‐induced seismicity …
Slip accommodation in subduction zones ranges from aseismic slip phenomena to regular megathrust earthquakes, and strongly depends on pore fluid pressure. We develop a new …
Taking the full complexity of subduction zones into account is important for realistic modeling and hazard assessment of subduction zone seismicity and associated tsunamis. Studying …
Despite a lack of modern large earthquakes on shallowly dipping normal faults, Holocene Mw> 7 low-angle normal fault (LANF; dip< 30°) ruptures are preserved paleoseismically and …

The occurrence of many seismic events in energy production projects is caused by fluid injection-induced reactivation of critically stressed faults. The distribution of local stress …
Seismic interpretation is crucial for identifying faults, fluid concentrations, and flow migration pathways in the oil and gas industry. Algorithms have been developed to identify faults using …
We present a 2-D thermomechanical computational framework for simulating earthquake sequences in a non-linear visco-elasto-plastic compressible medium. The method is …
Fluid injection into a rock mass from industrial processes can cause perceivable seismic events that may raise public concern. This seismicity can be caused by injection-induced …
