Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust. They
control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of …

Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

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 …

Large seismogenic faults consist of approximately meter-thick fault cores surrounded by
hundreds-of-meters-thick damage zones. Earthquakes are generated by rupture …

Grain size data from the deposit of the 1987 Val Pola rock avalanche (central Italian Alps)
are compared with data concerning rock avalanching, rock fragmentation, and comminution …

By considering the implications of the comminution generally associated with very large
landslides, we arrive at a simple explanation for the remarkably low frictional resistance to …

We present field and laboratory data on pulverized rocks at the Hakusui-kyo outcrop of the
Arima-Takatsuki Tectonic Line (ATTL), which is a dextral strike slip fault with~ 17km …

We present mapping of pulverized fault zone rocks along a 140 km long section of the San
Andreas Fault in the Mojave Desert. The results show that almost every outcrop of crystalline …

Previous studies show that pulverized rocks observed along large faults can be created by
single high‐strain rate loadings in the laboratory, provided that the strain rate is higher than …

In the damage zone around faults, strain is usually localized along fractures, whereas the
blocks enclosed by the fractures remain relatively undamaged,. Some rocks near the San …
