Earthquake precursory processes have been central to scientific inquiry for nearly a century.
Recent advancements in earthquake monitoring, geodesy, and data analysis including …

Dynamic failure in the laboratory is commonly preceded by many foreshocks which
accompany premonitory aseismic slip. Aseismic slip is also thought to govern earthquake …

We discuss data of three laboratory stick‐slip experiments on Westerly Granite samples
performed at elevated confining pressure and constant displacement rate on rough fracture …

Observations of seismicity prior to large earthquakes show that the slope of a Gutenberg‐
Richter magnitude‐frequency relation, referred to as ab‐value, sometimes decreases with …

We combined novel laboratory techniques and numerical modeling to investigate (a)
seismic preparatory processes associated with deformation localization during a triaxial …

Recent large-scale seismological observations have shown that off-fault strain localization
and foreshock migration could serve as an early warning of an impending earthquake …

SUMMARY A better understanding of damage accumulation before dynamic failure events
in geological material is essential to improve seismic hazard assessment. Previous research …

Fault regions inferred to be slowly slipping are interpreted to accommodate much of tectonic
plate motion aseismically and potentially serve as barriers to earthquake rupture. Here, we …

The distinction between the shear behavior of tensile-and shear-induced fractures is critical
to understanding the deformation and failure of geologic discontinuities at different scales …

Decades of geophysical monitoring have revealed the importance of slow aseismic fault slip
in the release of tectonic energy. Although significant progress have been made in imaging …
