The Caribbean oceanic crust was formed west of the North and South American continents,
probably from Late Jurassic through Early Cretaceous time. Its subsequent evolution has …

Seismic shaking and tectonic deformation during strong earthquakes can trigger widespread
environmental effects. The severity and extent of a given effect relates to the characteristics …

The moment magnitude (M w) 5.5 earthquake that struck South Korea in November 2017
was one of the largest and most damaging events in that country over the past century. Its …

Aftershocks are a response to changes in stress generated by large earthquakes and
represent the most common observations of the triggering of earthquakes. The maximum …

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 …

Landslide inventory map** is an indispensable prerequisite for reliable hazard and risk
analysis, and with the increasing availability of very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing …

Coseismic coastal deformation is often used to understand slip on offshore faults in large
earthquakes but in the 2016 MW 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake multiple faults ruptured across …

On 20 April 2013, an earthquake with Mw 6.6 (Ms 7.0) hit Lushan County, Sichuan Province
of China (30.3° N, 103° E), only 85 km southwest of the 2008 Wenchuan Mw 7.9 event. The …

The 12 January 2010 Mw 7.0 earthquake in the Republic of Haiti caused an estimated
300,000 deaths, displaced more than a million people, and damaged nearly half of all …

The Caribbean plate and its boundaries with north and south America, marked by
subduction and large intra‐arc strike‐slip faults, are a natural laboratory for the study of …
