Growing seismicity in the Sichuan Basin and its association with industrial activities

X Lei, J Su, Z Wang - Science China Earth Sciences, 2020‏ - Springer
Abstract In the Sichuan Basin, seismic activity has been low historically, but in the past few

Location of largest earthquake slip and fast rupture controlled by along‐strike change in fault structural maturity due to fault growth

C Perrin, I Manighetti, JP Ampuero… - Journal of …, 2016‏ - Wiley Online Library

are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Collateral damage: Evolution with displacement of fracture distribution and secondary fault strands in fault damage zones

HM Savage, EE Brodsky - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2011‏ - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the development of fracture distributions as a function of displacement to
determine whether damage around small and large faults is governed by the same process …

Recent and future developments in earthquake ground motion estimation

J Douglas, B Edwards - Earth-Science Reviews, 2016‏ - Elsevier
Seismic hazard analyses (SHA) are routinely carried out around the world to understand the
hazard, and consequently the risk, posed by earthquake activity. Whether single scenario …

Superficial simplicity of the 2010 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake of Baja California in Mexico

S Wei, E Fielding, S Leprince, A Sladen, JP Avouac… - Nature …, 2011‏ - nature.com

Fault trace corrugation and segmentation as a measure of fault structural maturity

I Manighetti, A Mercier… - Geophysical Research …, 2021‏ - Wiley Online Library
As faults grow over time and become more “mature,” some of their geometrical and
mechanical properties evolve, and these changes modify earthquake behavior. It is thus of …
