Coulomb pre-stress and fault bends are ignored yet vital factors for earthquake triggering and hazard
Successive locations of individual large earthquakes (M w> 5.5) over years to centuries can
be difficult to explain with simple Coulomb stress transfer (CST) because it is common for …

Variability in interseismic strain accumulation rate and style along the Altyn Tagh Fault
Major strike-slip faults that develop between strong and weaker regions are thought to focus
along narrow shear zones at the rheological boundary. Here we present the InSAR-derived …
