The last 20 years has seen a dramatic improvement in the quantity and quality of geodetic
measurements of the earthquake loading cycle. In this paper we compile and review these …

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 …

Finite‐fault source inversions reveal the spatial complexity of earthquake slip over the fault
plane. We develop a stochastic characterization of earthquake slip complexity, based on …

This multi-contributor book provides comprehensive coverage of earthquake engineering
problems, an overview of traditional methods, and the scientific background on recent …

Finite-source images of earthquake rupture show that fault slip is spatially variable at all
resolvable scales. In this study we develop scaling laws that account for this variability by …

We present a rupture model of the Northridge earthquake, determined from the joint
inversion of near-source strong ground motion recordings, P and SH teleseismic body …

The 1994 Northridge earthquake produced ground motions in the northwest portion of the
Los Angeles basin that were significantly larger than rock-site motions observed at locations …

We use a database of more than 80 finite-source rupture models for more than 50
earthquakes (M w 4.1–8.1) with different faulting styles occurring in both tectonic and …

Finite‐fault earthquake source inversions infer the (time‐dependent) displacement on the
rupture surface from geophysical data. The resulting earthquake source models document …

We characterize average slip distributions on earthquakes beyond their individual
heterogeneity. For that, we analyze a large number of seismic slip distributions both …
