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

Abstract Recent earthquakes in Chile, 2014, Mw 8.2 Iquique, 2015, Mw 8.3 Illapel and 2016,
Mw 7.6 Chiloé have put in evidence some problems with the straightforward application of …

Subduction zones are home to the most seismically active faults on the planet. The shallow
megathrust interfaces of subduction zones host Earth's largest earthquakes and are likely …

Abstract The July 2019 Ridgecrest, California, earthquake sequence produced cross‐fault
ruptures from a Mw6. 4 left‐lateral foreshock and a Mw7. 1 right‐lateral mainshock. We use …

After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

The growing multi-hazard environment to which millions of people in the world are exposed
highlights the importance of making sure that populations are increasingly better prepared …

Here, I present a database of> 160 finite fault models for all earthquakes of M 7.5 and above
since 1990, created using a consistent modeling approach. The use of a common approach …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

Abstract The Mw 5.1 Fairview, Oklahoma, earthquake on 13 February 2016 and its
associated seismicity produced the largest moment release in the central and eastern …

Abstract The 2015 Mw8. 3 Illapel, Chile earthquake is the latest megathrust event on the
central segment of that subduction zone. It generated strong ground motions and a large (up …
