Abstract Recent earthquakes in Chile, 2014, Mw 8.2 Iquique, 2015, Mw 8.3 Illapel and 2016,
Mw 7.6 Chiloé have put in evidence some problems with the straightforward application of …

Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

We sketch the evolution of station trajectory models used in crustal motion geodesy over the
last several decades, and describe some recent generalizations of these models that allow …

Laboratory simulations of earthquakes show that at high slip rates, faults can weaken
significantly, aiding rupture,,. Various mechanisms, such as thermal pressurization and flash …

Recent geodetic observations indicate that a single fault may slip slowly and silently or fast
and seismically in different circumstances. We report laboratory experiments that …

We developed a 3-D, viscoelastic finite element model of the M9 2011 Tohoku-oki, Japan
earthquake capable of predicting postseismic displacements due to viscoelastic relaxation …

During the decade from mid-2004 to mid-2014 18 great (M w≥ 8.0) earthquakes occurred
globally (∼ 1.8 per year), compared to 71 from 1900 to mid-2004 (∼ 0.68 per year), yielding …

The Himalayan arc produced the largest known continental earthquake, the Mw≈ 8.7
Assam earthquake of 1950, but how frequently and where else in the Himalaya such large …

Abstract The 27 February 2010, Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake ruptured~ 500 km along the plate
boundary offshore central Chile between 34° S and 38.5° S. Establishing whether coseismic …

This study addresses the interplay between strain/stress fields and paleo-fluid migration in
the Southern Andean Volcanic Zone (SVZ). The SVZ coexists with the margin-parallel …
