This contribution to the Electronic Seismologist presents the online SRCMOD database of
finite-fault rupture models for past earthquakes, accessible at http://equake‑rc. info/srcmod …

The observational difficulties and the complexity of earthquake physics have rendered
seismic hazard assessment largely empirical. Despite increasingly high-quality geodetic …

We present a dynamic rupture model of the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake to unravel the
event's riddles in a physics-based manner and provide insight on the mechanical viability of …

Contacting bodies subjected to sufficiently large applied shear will undergo frictional sliding.
The onset of this motion is mediated by dynamically propagating fronts, akin to earthquakes …

Abstract The September 2018, M_w M w 7.5 Sulawesi earthquake occurring on the Palu-
Koro strike-slip fault system was followed by an unexpected localized tsunami. We show that …

Natural faults feature heterogeneities in geometry, material properties, and stress
distributions, posing great challenges in predicting fault slip behaviors. Among these factors …

There is increasing evidence that the Himalayan seismicity can be bimodal: blind
earthquakes (up to Mw~ 7.8) tend to cluster in the downdip part of the seismogenic zone …

We present a high-resolution simulation of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake,
including non-linear frictional failure on a megathrustsplay fault system. Our method exploits …

Finite‐fault earthquake source inversions infer the (time‐dependent) displacement on the
rupture surface from geophysical data. The resulting earthquake source models document …

The majority of crustal faults host earthquakes when the ratio of average background shear
stress τb to effective normal stress σeff is τb/σeff≈ 0.6. In contrast, mature plate‐boundary …
