Mass wasting triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake is greater than orogenic growth
Shallow earthquakes are the primary driver of rock uplift in mountain ranges. However, large
shallow earthquakes also trigger widespread, coseismic landslides that cause significant but …

Location of largest earthquake slip and fast rupture controlled by along‐strike change in fault structural maturity due to fault growth
Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …
