Despite decades of observational, laboratory and theoretical studies, the processes leading
to large earthquake generation remain enigmatic. However, recent observations provide …

We examine localization processes of low magnitude seismicity in relation to the occurrence
of large earthquakes using three complementary analyses:(i) estimated production of rock …

Earthquakes in the continental crust commonly occur in the upper 15 to 20 km. Recent
studies demonstrate that earthquakes also occur in the lower crust of collision zones and …

Active fault zones have complex structural and geometric features that are expected to affect
earthquake nucleation, rupture propagation with shear and volumetric deformation, and …

We review properties and processes of earthquake rupture zones based on field studies,
laboratory observations, theoretical models and simulations, with the goal of assessing the …

We investigate the non‐double‐couple components of 224 M≥ 3.0 earthquakes in the 2019
Mw7. 1 Ridgecrest sequence, which occurred on a complex fault system in the Eastern …

The theory of rate and state friction unifies field, laboratory, and theoretical analysis of the
evolution of slip on natural faults. While the observational study of earthquakes and aseismic …

We present a coupled finite element spectral boundary integral framework for modeling
sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip on a 2‐D planar rate‐and‐state fault with off …

We discuss analytical results on seismic radiation during rapid episodes of inelastic brittle
deformation that include changes of elastic moduli in the source volumes. The full source …

We present results on radiated seismic energy during simulations of dynamic ruptures in a
continuum damage-breakage rheological model incorporating evolution of damage within …
