Deep learning of aftershock patterns following large earthquakes

PMR DeVries, F Viégas, M Wattenberg, BJ Meade - Nature, 2018‏ - nature.com
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 …

Earthquake cycle deformation and the Moho: Implications for the rheology of continental lithosphere

TJ Wright, JR Elliott, H Wang, I Ryder - Tectonophysics, 2013‏ - Elsevier

Ubiquitous weakening of faults due to thermal pressurization

RC Viesca, DI Garagash - Nature Geoscience, 2015‏ - nature.com
Laboratory simulations of earthquakes show that at high slip rates, faults can weaken
significantly, aiding rupture,,. Various mechanisms, such as thermal pressurization and flash …

A seismologically consistent expression for the total area and volume of earthquake‐triggered landsliding

O Marc, N Hovius, P Meunier, T Gorum… - Journal of …, 2016‏ - Wiley Online Library
We present a new, seismologically consistent expression for the total area and volume of
populations of earthquake‐triggered landslides. This model builds on a set of scaling …

Earthquake fracture energy inferred from kinematic rupture models on extended faults

We estimate fracture energy on extended faults for several recent earthquakes by retrieving
dynamic traction evolution at each point on the fault plane from slip history imaged by …

Pre-existing cross-structures and active fault segmentation in the northern-central Apennines (Italy)

A Pizzi, F Galadini - Tectonophysics, 2009‏ - Elsevier
