Surface roughness ubiquitously prevails in natural faults across various length scales.
Despite extensive studies highlighting the important role of fault geometry in the dynamics of …

Since emerging in Brazil in 1985, wheat blast has spread throughout South America and
recently appeared in Bangladesh and Zambia. Here we show that two wheat resistance …

It is of great significance for disaster prevention to study the influence of mainshock-
aftershock sequences on reliability of the soil slope. Considering the uncertainty of the …

ABSTRACT The 2020–2023 southwestern Puerto Rico seismic sequence, still ongoing in
2023, is remarkable for its multiple‐fault rupture complexity and elevated aftershock …

Observations of seismicity prior to large earthquakes show that the slope of a Gutenberg‐
Richter magnitude‐frequency relation, referred to as ab‐value, sometimes decreases with …

There is a growing recognition that subsurface fluid injection can produce not only
earthquakes, but also aseismic slip on faults. A major challenge in understanding …

Earthquakes come in clusters formed of mostly aftershock sequences, swarms and
occasional foreshock sequences. This clustering is thought to result either from stress …

One of the most suitable methods for modeling fully dynamic earthquake cycle simulations is
the spectral boundary integral element method (sBIEM), which takes advantage of the fast …

Following a major earthquake, disaster information services must deliver accurate damage
assessment results during the emergency 'black box'phase when data is scarce. Seismic …

Aseismic afterslip has been proposed to drive aftershock sequences. Both afterslip moment
and aftershock number broadly increase with mainshock size, but can vary beyond this …
