Abstract Large earthquakes in North China, Australia, Northwestern Europe, Central and
Eastern United States, and other mid-continents show complex spatiotemporal patterns that …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

We present a new focal mechanism stress inversion technique to produce regional‐scale
models of stress orientation containing the minimum complexity necessary to fit the data …

We estimate slip rates on major active faults in southern California using a block model
constrained by Global Positioning System measurements of interseismic deformation. The …

In this study, a potential precursor related to the Mw 7.2 Mexico earthquake on April 4, 2010,
was investigated by analysing ionosphere total electron content (TEC) fluctuations derived …

Earthquakes potentially serve as abundant and cost-effective gauges of tectonic stress
provided that reliable means exist of extracting robust stress parameters. Several algorithms …

Previous rotary shear experiments, performed on a halite‐muscovite fault gouge analogue
system have shown that the presence of phyllosilicates, under conditions favoring the …

To improve the empirical basis for estimating the likely length of future earthquake ruptures
on mapped active faults, we measure map‐scale complexities including fault bends …

The depth of the seismogenic zone is a critical parameter for earthquake hazard models.
Independent observations from seismology and geodesy can provide insight into the depths …

We use high resolution interferometric synthetic aperture radar and GPS measurements of
crustal motion across the southern San Andreas Fault system to investigate the effects of …
