Minor changes in geometry along the length of mature strike-slip faults may act as
conditional barriers to earthquake rupture, terminating some and allowing others to pass …

The construction of spatiotemporal models of earthquake occurrence for intraplate areas is
challenging due to the low deformation rates in these areas. In this study, we conducted …

The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes
demonstrate the importance of developing seismically safe building codes. The …

Quantifying the activity and seismic recurrence behavior of active faults is essential for
assessing seismic risk. A reliable chronology of faulting events is necessary, and optically …

Existing models of intracontinental deformation have focused on plate-like rigid body motion
v. viscous-flow-like distributed deformation. To elucidate how plate convergence is …

Abstract The Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) plays a pivotal role in determining the structural
deformation patterns of the Tibetan Plateau. However, our current understanding of present …

A better understanding of the kinematics of strike-slip faults in northern Tibet greatly affects
our knowledge of the Cenozoic growth of the Tibetan plateau. Despite recent achievements …

Understanding the three‐dimensional structure, segmentation, and kinematics of complex
fault systems is essential to assessing the size of potential earthquakes and related seismic …

Strike-slip faults can be nonplanar in both their strike and dip dimensions. While a large
body of work has investigated the effects of changes in strike on earthquake rupture and …

Active strike‐slip fault systems commonly display along‐strike Quaternary slip rate gradients
associated with fault bends and splay faults, which generate surface uplift by dip‐slip …
