Beyond Byerlee friction, weak faults and implications for slip behavior
Some faults are considered strong because their strength is consistent with the Coulomb
criterion under Byerlee's friction, 0.6< μ< 0.85. In marked contrast, numerous studies have …

Seismic behaviour of mountain belts controlled by plate convergence rate
The relative contribution of tectonic and kinematic processes to seismic behaviour of
mountain belts is still controversial. To understand the partitioning between these processes …

Seismic coupling for the Aegean-Anatolian region
Seismic coupling helps define how large the earthquake potential of a region is, as well as
the presence of asperities along plate zones. This work seeks to provide an improved …

Does subduction of mass transport deposits (MTDs) control seismic behavior of shallow–level megathrusts at convergent margins?
We present a critical appraisal of the role of subducted, medium (10–1000 km 2) to giant (≥
1000 km 2) and heterogeneous, mud-rich mass transport deposits (MTDs) in seismic …
