In subduction zones, seismic slip at shallow crustal depths can lead to the generation of
tsunamis. Large slip displacements during tsunamogenic earthquakes are attributed to the …

The underlying mechanism of the ongoing seismic swarm in the Noto Peninsula, Japan,
which generates earthquakes at 10 times the average regional rate, remains elusive. We …

Natural fault zones are complex, spatially heterogeneous systems. Rock deformation
experimental studies simplify the complexity of natural fault zones either as a surface …

Abstract The 16 March 2022 M 7.4 Fukushima–Oki earthquake is the largest one among
forearc intraslab earthquakes in Japan since 2000. These subcoast events can cause …

Earthquake faults are the result of severe strain localization in rocks deep down in the
earth's crust. This localized deformation is controlled by the size of the microstructure and …

Although earthquakes are one of the most notorious natural disasters, a full understanding
of the underlying mechanisms is still lacking. Here, nanoscale friction measurements were …

Most previous experiments conducted on water-saturated clay-rich gouges sheared under
extreme deformation conditions (including seismic slip rates eg, 1 m/s, and displacements …

High‐velocity friction experiments on simulated fault gouges sheared at high normal stress
and to low displacement are particularly relevant to induced seismicity, which is becoming …

The understanding of earthquake physics is hindered by the poor knowledge of fault
strength and temperature evolution during seismic slip. Experiments reproducing seismic …

Geothermal springs are controlled by deep faults, which are the major causes of
earthquakes. A series of geochemical indicators of hot springs, such as carbon dioxide …
