Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

A nearly 20-year hiatus in major seismic activity in southern California ended on 4 July 2019
with a sequence of intersecting earthquakes near the city of Ridgecrest, California. This …

We analyze the rupture process of the 25 April 2015 Nepal earthquake with globally
recorded teleseismic P waves. The rupture propagated east‐southeast from the hypocenter …

Seismic tomography provides unique constraints on the morphology, the deformation, and
(indirectly) the rheology of subducting slabs. We use teleseismic double-difference P-wave …

The mechanisms driving plate motion and the Earth's geodynamics are still not entirely
clarified. Lithospheric volumes recycled at subduction zones or emerging at rift zones testify …

Inferring blocked mantle convection The boundaries between rocks with different physical
properties in Earth's interior come from either a change in crystal structure or a change in …

Deep earthquake b values appear to vary with slab thermal state and earthquake
magnitude. The physical reason for the variations and the relation with deep rupture …

We determined the rupture sequence of the 12 August 2021 Mw 8.2 South Sandwich Island
earthquake which appears to be a complex sequence in both time and space. Notable …

We investigate the global rupture parameters for deep and intermediate‐depth earthquakes.
From measurements of rupture duration and radiated seismic energy we estimate stress …

Earthquake rupture speeds exceeding the shear-wave velocity have been reported for
several shallow strike-slip events. Whether supershear rupture also can occur in deep …
