This article reviews geologic and other evidence constraining the thickness of the principal
slip zone (PSZ) that accommodates the bulk of coseismic shear displacement during an …

Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

Destructive earthquakes nucleate at depth (10 to 15 km), therefore monitoring active faults at
the Earth's surface, or interpreting seismic waves, yields only limited information on …

It is proposed that fault textures in two dissected rhyolitic conduits in Iceland preserve
evidence for shallow seismogenic faulting within rising magma during the emplacement of …

Melt-origin pseudotachylytes are the most widely accepted feature recording earthquake slip
in the fault rock record. However, reports of pseudotachylytes are rare compared to the …

Pseudotachylytes and cataclasites are present along a strike-slip fault zone in the tonalites
of the Adamello intrusion (Italian Southern Alps). Ambient conditions during faulting were …

The Gole Larghe Fault is an exhumed paleoseismic fault crosscutting the Adamello tonalites
(Italian Southern Alps). Ambient conditions of faulting were 9–11 km in depth and 250–300° …

Tectonic pseudotachylytes might be used to constrain earthquake source parameters, such
as dynamic shear stress resistance, average dynamic friction and slip-weakening distance …

The Nordfjord‐Sogn Detachment (NSD) zone of western Norway juxtaposes eclogites and
gneisses of lower crustal affinity with sedimentary deposits, suggesting that the zone …

The Woodroffe thrust, central Australia, is a> 1.5-km-wide mylonitized shear zone marked by
large volumes of mm-to cm-scale pseudotachylyte veins. The pseudotachylytes display …
