Large seismogenic faults consist of approximately meter-thick fault cores surrounded by
hundreds-of-meters-thick damage zones. Earthquakes are generated by rupture …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

This paper reviews 19 apparatuses having high-velocity capabilities, describes a rotary-
shear low to high-velocity friction apparatus installed at Institute of Geology, China …

Earthquakes often occur along faults in the presence of hot, pressurized water. Here we
exploit a new experimental device to study friction in gabbro faults with water in vapor, liquid …

Earthquakes result from weakening of faults (transient decrease in friction) during co-seismic
slip. Dry faults weaken due to degradation of fault asperities by frictional heating (eg flash …

Fluids are pervasive in fault zones cutting the Earth's crust; however, the effect of fluid
viscosity on fault mechanics is mainly conjectured by theoretical models. We present friction …

To investigate differences in the frictional behavior between initially bare rock surfaces of
serpentinite and powdered serpentinite (“gouge”) at subseismic to seismic slip rates, we …

We performed continuous recordings (May 2015–January 2017) of hydraulic pressure and
electrical conductivity of groundwater in the 190 m-long horizontal S13 borehole drilled next …

The structure, frictional properties and permeability of faults within carbonate rocks exhibit a
dynamic interplay that controls both seismicity and the exchange of fluid between different …

Rupture fronts can cause fault displacement, reaching speeds up to several ms− 1 within a
few milliseconds, at any distance away from the earthquake nucleation area. In the case of …
