From geodetic imaging of seismic and aseismic fault slip to dynamic modeling of the seismic cycle
JP Avouac - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …
