Paleoseismology has been making an important contribution to understanding the Alpine
Fault and the hazard it poses to society. However, evidence of past earthquakes comes from …

Some faults are considered strong because their strength is consistent with the Coulomb
criterion under Byerlee's friction, 0.6< μ< 0.85. In marked contrast, numerous studies have …

Minor changes in geometry along the length of mature strike-slip faults may act as
conditional barriers to earthquake rupture, terminating some and allowing others to pass …

New Zealand has a remarkably large number of exhumed mantle occurrences for a small
exposed landmass. Since the last regional syntheses of peridotite (1987) and serpentinite …

AM w 5.5 earthquake struck Pohang (South Korea) on November 2017, following a
sequence of five hydraulic stimulations of an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS). The …

Understanding the seismic hazard posed by large earthquakes requires paleoseismic
investigation because most faults have not ruptured repeatedly during the period of historic …

The empirical rate‐and state‐dependent friction law is widely used to explain the frictional
resistance of rocks. However, the constitutive parameters vary with temperature and sliding …

Oblique convergence along strike-slip faults can lead to both distributed and localized
deformation. How focused transpressive deformation is both localized and maintained along …

Discovery and investigation of millennial-scale geological records of past large earthquakes
improve understanding of earthquake frequency, recurrence behaviour, and likelihood of …

Abstract The Alpine Fault in New Zealand is a major plate-bounding structure that typically
slips in∼ M8 earthquakes every c. 330 years. To investigate the near-surface, high-velocity …
