From geodetic imaging of seismic and aseismic fault slip to dynamic modeling of the seismic cycle

JP Avouac - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

Invited review paper: Fault creep caused by subduction of rough seafloor relief

Slip rate deficit and earthquake potential on shallow megathrusts

EO Lindsey, R Mallick, JA Hubbard, KE Bradley… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Most destructive tsunamis are caused by seismic slip on the shallow part of offshore
megathrusts. The likelihood of this behaviour is partly determined by the interseismic slip …

Slip segmentation and slow rupture to the trench during the 2015, Mw8.3 Illapel, Chile earthquake

D Melgar, W Fan, S Riquelme, J Geng… - Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
