The Green's function (GF) method, which makes use of GFs, is an important and elegant tool
for solving a given boundary-value problem for the differential equation from a real …

We describe a set of benchmark exercises that are designed to test if computer codes that
simulate dynamic earthquake rupture are working as intended. These types of computer …

The coupling between subsurface flow and geomechanical deformation is critical in the
assessment of the environmental impacts of groundwater use, underground liquid waste …

Plate motion on shallow subduction megathrusts is accommodated by a spectrum of tectonic
slip modes. However, the frictional properties and conditions that sustain these diverse slip …

Natural faults feature heterogeneities in geometry, material properties, and stress
distributions, posing great challenges in predicting fault slip behaviors. Among these factors …

The rupture patterns of large earthquakes in transpressional systems can provide important
information for understanding oblique motion and strain partitioning between tectonic …

The movement and deformation of the Earth's crust and upper mantle provide critical
insights into the evolution of earthquake processes and future earthquake potentials. Crustal …

There is growing concern about seismicity triggered by human activities, whereby small
increases in stress bring tectonically loaded faults to failure. Examples of such activities …

Located at the forefront of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian Plates, the Tibetan
Plateau experiences intense crustal movement. Traditional ground-based geodetic …

In a viscoelastic Earth, stresses slowly built up due to fault locking are relaxed concurrently
during the entire interseismic period. This interseismic stress relaxation causes crustal …
