Marine transform faults and fracture zones: a joint perspective integrating seismicity, fluid flow and life
Marine transform faults and associated fracture zones (MTFFZs) cover vast stretches of the
ocean floor, where they play a key role in plate tectonics, accommodating the lateral …

Investigation of the noise properties at low frequencies in long GNSS time series
The accuracy by which velocities can be estimated from GNSS time series is mainly
determined by the low-frequency noise, below 0.2–0.1 cpy, which are normally described by …

Earthquake size distributions are slightly different in compression vs extension
M Taroni, MMC Carafa - Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 - nature.com
The earthquake size distribution is described by an exponential function governed by the b-
value parameter. It has already been proven that the b-value depends on the differential …

Earthquake crisis unveils the growth of an incipient continental fault system
Large continental faults extend for thousands of kilometres to form boundaries between rigid
tectonic blocks. These faults are associated with prominent topographic features and can …

Micro-seismicity in the Gulf of Cadiz: Is there a link between micro-seismicity, high magnitude earthquakes and active faults?
Abstract The Gulf of Cadiz seismicity is characterized by persistent low to intermediate
magnitude earthquakes, occasionally punctuated by high magnitude events such as the M …

A common deep source for upper-mantle upwellings below the Ibero-western Maghreb region from teleseismic P-wave travel-time tomography
Upper-mantle upwellings are often invoked as the cause of Cenozoic volcanism in the Ibero-
western Maghreb region. However, their nature, geometry and origin are unclear. This study …
