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 …

Among the wide range of thermal, petrologic, hydrological, and structural factors that
potentially affect subduction earthquakes, the roughness of the subducting seafloor is …

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 …

We document geodetic strain across the Nepal Himalaya using GPS times series from 30
stations in Nepal and southern Tibet, in addition to previously published campaign GPS …

Faults in Earth's crust accommodate slow relative motion between tectonic plates through
either similarly slow slip or fast, seismic-wave-producing rupture events perceived as …

Interplate megathrust earthquakes have inflicted catastrophic damage on human society.
Such an earthquake is predicted to occur in the near future along the Nankai Trough off …

Shallow earthquakes are the primary driver of rock uplift in mountain ranges. However, large
shallow earthquakes also trigger widespread, coseismic landslides that cause significant but …

Abstract The magnitude-8.8 Maule (Chile) earthquake of 27 February 2010 ruptured a
segment of the Andean subduction zone megathrust that has been suspected to be of high …

We sketch the evolution of station trajectory models used in crustal motion geodesy over the
last several decades, and describe some recent generalizations of these models that allow …

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 …
