Location of largest earthquake slip and fast rupture controlled by along‐strike change in fault structural maturity due to fault growth
Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

How do normal faults grow?
Normal faults grow via synchronous increase in displacement and length ('propagating fault
model', also known as the 'isolated fault model'), or by rapid length establishment and …

Orogen-scale uplift in the central Italian Apennines drives episodic behaviour of earthquake faults
Many areas of the Earth's crust deform by distributed extensional faulting and complex fault
interactions are often observed. Geodetic data generally indicate a simpler picture of …
