The present paper reviews our current understanding of fault dimensions and their scaling
laws, with special focus on faults in siliciclastic rocks. The aim is to provide a comprehensive …

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 …

We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W⁠, rupture length L⁠, rupture
area A⁠, and average slip D⁠, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

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 …

In this paper, I propose the scaling relation W= C 1 L β (where β≈ 2/3) to describe the
scaling of rupture width with rupture length. I also propose a new displacement relation …

To complement the new European Strong-Motion dataset and the ongoing efforts to update
the seismic hazard and risk assessment of Europe and Mediterranean regions, we propose …

Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

We report on the topographic roughness measurements of five exhumed faults and thirteen
surface earthquake ruptures over a large range of scales: from 50 μm to 50 km. We used …

Abstract The 4 July 2019 Mw6. 4 and subsequent 6 July 2019 Mw7. 1 Ridgecrest sequence
earthquakes (CA, USA) ruptured orthogonal fault planes in a low slip rate (1 mm/year) …

A fundamentally important but typically abbreviated component of seismic‐hazard analysis
is the selection of earthquake scaling relationships. These are typically regressions of …
