Publisher Summary Paleoseismic data can be used in the research of neotectonic
investigations and can provide relatively short-term geologic data that complements longer …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W⁠, rupture length L⁠, rupture
area A⁠, and average slip D⁠, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

This paper provides a generic equation for the evaluation of the maximum earthquake
magnitude m max for a given seismogenic zone or entire region. The equation is capable of …

Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

The paper is dedicated to the review of methods of seismic hazard analysis currently in use,
analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. The review is performed …

The permeability evolution of fractal-based two-dimensional discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) during shearing under constant normal stiffness (CNS) boundary conditions is …

There is wide concern that fluid injection in the subsurface, such as for the stimulation of
shale reservoirs or for geological CO2 sequestration (GCS), has the potential to induce …

As faults grow over time and become more “mature,” some of their geometrical and
mechanical properties evolve, and these changes modify earthquake behavior. It is thus of …

A fundamentally important but typically abbreviated component of seismic‐hazard analysis
is the selection of earthquake scaling relationships. These are typically regressions of …
