Fluids play an important role in seismic faulting both at hypocentral depths during
earthquake nucleation and at shallower crustal levels during rupture propagation. Pre-to co …

Geophysical observations on active subduction zones have evidenced high seismicity
clusters at 20–40 km depth in the fore-arc region whose origin remains controversial. We …

Grain size reduction due to cataclasis is a key process controlling fault frictional properties
during the seismic cycle. We investigated the role of cleavage planes on fracturing and …

요 약활성단층의 단층물질과 미구조는 과거 단층의 미끌림 특성을 이해하는 고지진 연구와
지질재해 평가를 위한필수적인 정보를 제공한다. 본 연구는 경북 포항시 냉수리의 …

The mechanics and seismogenic behavior of fault zones are strongly influenced by their
internal structure. In this perspective, the internal structure of the extensional seismically …

Nanograins (≪ 1 μm) are common in the principal slip zones of natural and experimental
faults, but their formation and influence on fault mechanical behavior are poorly understood …

In-situ shattered rocks are often associated with seismogenic fault zones, but their
mechanism of formation is still matter of debate, partly because of the limited number of field …

Calcite is a common mineral found in carbonate-bearing fault zones. Crystalline graphite
(Gr) can be generated within calcite-bearing fault zones, which may contribute to their low …

Fault rocks can weaken dramatically with increasing slip rate, which results in localization of
slip and earthquakes. Exhumed fault zones and fault rocks deformed at seismic rates in the …

Calcite and dolomite are the two most common minerals in carbonate-bearing faults and
shear zones. Motivated by field examples from exhumed seismogenic faults in the Italian …
