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 …

Segmentation and supercycles: A catalog of earthquake rupture patterns from the Sumatran Sunda Megathrust and other well-studied faults worldwide
B Philibosian, AJ Meltzner - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
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 …

A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model
We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

Interseismic coupling, megathrust earthquakes and seismic swarms along the Chilean subduction zone (38–18 S)
The recent expansion of dense GPS networks over plate boundaries allows for remarkably
precise mapping of interseismic coupling along active faults. The interseismic coupling …

The 2015 Illapel earthquake, central Chile: A type case for a characteristic earthquake?
Abstract On 16 September 2015, the MW= 8.2 Illapel megathrust earthquake ruptured the
Central Chilean margin. Combining inversions of displacement measurements and seismic …

Did a 3800-year-old Mw ~9.5 earthquake trigger major social disruption in the Atacama Desert?
Early inhabitants along the hyperarid coastal Atacama Desert in northern Chile developed
resilience strategies over 12,000 years, allowing these communities to effectively adapt to …
