Earthquakes have long been recognized as resulting from a stick–slip frictional instability.
The development of a full constitutive law for rock friction now shows that the gamut of …

Among the current problems that hydrogeologists face, perhaps there is none as
challenging as the characterization of fractured rock (Faybishenko and Benson 2000). This …

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 third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

In this standard reference of the field, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow,
hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock …

An array of graphical and numerical techniques facilitate qualitative and quantitative
kinematic analysis of fault-slip data. Graphical contouring and Bingham statistics of the …

recurrence. In: T. Mikumo, K. Aki, M. Ohnaka, LJ Ruff and PKP Spudich (Editors), Earthquake …

Scientific understanding of fluid flow in rock fracturesâ€" a process underlying contemporary
earth science problems from the search for petroleum to the controversy over nuclear waste …

The vibrant evolutionary patterns made by earthquake swarms are incompatible with
standard, effectively two-dimensional (2D) models for general fault architecture. We …

We propose a model for earthquake afterslip based on rate and state variable friction laws.
In the model, afterslip is attributed to the interaction of a velocity‐weakening region at depth …
