Glacier-erosion rates range across orders of magnitude, and much of this variation cannot
be attributed to basal sliding rates. Subglacial till acts as lubricating 'fault gouge'or 'sawdust' …

Metamorphic core complexes are products of normal-fault displacements sufficient to
exhume rocks from below the brittle–ductile transition. These faults (detachments) may …

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 …

Interseismic recovery of fault strength (healing) following earthquake failure is a fundamental
requirement of the seismic cycle and likely plays a key role in determining the stability and …

In the continents, the importance of earthquakes that occur away from major block‐bounding
faults is still debated. The 21 May 2021 MW∼ 7.4 Maduo earthquake occurred on a …

A global compilation of shear stress magnitude from mylonites developed along major fault
zones suggests that maximum shear stresses between 80 and 120 MPa are reached at …

Whether Earth materials exhibit frictional creep or catastrophic failure is a crucial but
unresolved problem in predicting landslide and earthquake hazards. Here, we show that …

Continental transform faults are dominantly highly localized strike-slip shear zones
hundreds of kilometers long that accumulate tens to hundreds of kilometers of displacement …

The understanding of fault-slip behaviour in carbonates has an important societal impact
due to the widespread occurrence and propagation of earthquakes in these rocks. Fault rock …

The evolution of fault strength during the seismic cycle plays a key role in the mode of fault
slip, nature of earthquake stress drop, and earthquake nucleation. Laboratory‐based rate …
