Global seismographic networks (GSNs) emerged during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, facilitated by seminal international developments in theory, technology …

The destructive 2023 moment magnitude (M w) 7.8-7.7 earthquake doublet ruptured multiple
segments of the East Anatolian Fault system in Turkey. We integrated multiscale seismic and …

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 …

The geological and geophysical phenomena associated with water in the slab can be
grouped into three different categories: those related to 1) the storage of water in the oceanic …

Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with
spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw …

Earthquake rupture length and width estimates are in demand in many seismological
applications. Earthquake magnitude estimates are often available, whereas the geometrical …

The subducting oceanic lithosphere may carry a large amount of chemically bound water
into the deep Earth interior, returning water to the mantle, facilitating melting, and hence …

Abstract The 11 March 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku (M w 9.0) Earthquake ruptured a
200 km wide megathrust fault, with average displacements of~ 15–20 m. Early estimates of …

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 …

Abstract The 11 March 2011 Tohoku Earthquake ruptured the interplate boundary off-shore
of east Japan, with fault displacements of up to 40 m and a rupture duration of 150–160 s. W …
