Global seismographic networks (GSNs) emerged during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, facilitated by seminal international developments in theory, technology …

Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

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 …

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 …

An immediate report of the source focal mechanism with full automation after a destructive
earthquake is crucial for timely characterizing the faulting geometry, evaluating the stress …

Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with
spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw …

Abstract On February 6, 2023, an Mw7. 8 earthquake hit the East Anatolian Fault (EAF) and
Narlı Fault (NF), followed by an Mw7. 5 event on the Sürgü Fault. We combine multiple …

The two largest earthquakes of the past 40 years ruptured a 1600-kilometer-long portion of
the fault boundary between the Indo-Australian and southeastern Eurasian plates on 26 …
