We present a dynamic rupture model of the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake to unravel the event's riddles in a physics-based manner and provide insight on the mechanical viability of …
We perform the finite‐extent fault inversion of the three main events of the 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence using near‐source strong motion records. We demonstrate that both …
Large continental earthquakes necessarily involve failure of multiple faults or segments. But these same critically-stressed systems sometimes fail in drawn-out sequences of smaller …
We focus on the coseismic surface faulting exposed along the Mt. Vettore‐Mt. Bove fault system (VBF, central Italy), that activated during the 24 August 2016, Amatrice earthquake …
We explore the three‐dimensional structure of the 2016–2017 Central Italy sequence using~ 34,000 ML≥ 1.5 earthquakes that occurred between August 2016 and January 2018. We …
The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes demonstrate the importance of developing seismically safe building codes. The …
We present a database of field data for active faults in the central Apennines, Italy, including trace, fault and main fault locations with activity and location certainties, and slip-rate, slip …
Successive locations of individual large earthquakes (M w> 5.5) over years to centuries can be difficult to explain with simple Coulomb stress transfer (CST) because it is common for …
Conventional earthquake risk assessments use fragility and vulnerability models that are based on seismic demands from individual (mainshock) ground motions, and implicitly …
