Inferring earthquake physics and chemistry using an integrated field and laboratory approach
Earthquakes are the result of a combination of (1) physico-chemical processes operating in
fault zones, which allow ruptures to nucleate and rock friction to decrease with increasing …

Utilizing distributed acoustic sensing and ocean bottom fiber optic cables for submarine structural characterization
The sparsity of permanent seismic instrumentation in marine environments often limits the
availability of subsea information on geohazards, including active fault systems, in both time …

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 …

Recent advances in imaging crustal fault zones: A review
H Yang - Earthquake Science, 2015 - Springer
Crustal faults usually have a fault core and surrounding regions of brittle damage, forming a
low-velocity zone (LVZ) in the immediate vicinity of the main slip interface. The LVZ may …

Temporal changes of shallow seismic velocity around the Karadere-Düzce branch of the north Anatolian fault and strong ground motion
We analyze temporal variations of seismic velocity along the Karadere-Düzce branch of the
north Anatolian fault using seismograms generated by repeating earthquake clusters in the …

Dynamic rupture on a material interface with spontaneous generation of plastic strain in the bulk
Y Ben-Zion, Z Shi - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2005 - Elsevier
We discuss 2D simulations of in-plane ruptures on a fault between different solids in a model
that includes dynamic generation of plastic strain off the fault. The fault is governed by a …
