Earthquake precursory processes have been central to scientific inquiry for nearly a century.
Recent advancements in earthquake monitoring, geodesy, and data analysis including …

Earthquakes have long been recognized as resulting from a stick–slip frictional instability.
The development of a full constitutive law for rock friction now shows that the gamut of …

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 …

▪ Abstract This paper reviews rock friction and the frictional properties of earthquake faults.
The basis for rate-and state-dependent friction laws is reviewed. The friction state variable is …

This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental rock deformation that is
dominated by the phenomena of brittle fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction …

Earthquakes occur mainly on active faults. Fault slip is closely related to seismicity and is
thus widely discussed in Geosciences, Seismology, and Engineering. Slip experiment is a …

New observations of the internal structure of the San Gabriel fault (SGF) are combined with
previous characterizations of the Punchbowl fault (PF) to evaluate possible explanations for …

We propose a model for earthquake afterslip based on rate and state variable friction laws.
In the model, afterslip is attributed to the interaction of a velocity‐weakening region at depth …

Differential stress exerts both static and dynamic effects on rock-mass permeability,
modulating fluid flow in the Earth's crust. Static stress fields impose a permeability anisotropy …

Sliding on faults in much of the continental crust likely occurs at hydrothermal conditions, ie,
at elevated temperature and elevated pressure of aqueous pore fluids, yet there have been …
