Coastal subsidence contributes to relative sea-level rise and exacerbates flooding hazards,
with the at-risk population expected to triple by 2070. Natural processes of vertical land …

Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

Modern geodetic and seismologic observations describe the behavior of fault slip over a
vast range of spatial and temporal scales. Slip at sub-seismogenic speeds is evident from …

Faults are rarely completely smooth, with topographic undulations coming from the
distribution of asperities along the fault surface. Understanding the effects of fault surface …

Understanding the factors governing the stability of fault slip is a crucial problem in fault
mechanics,–. The importance of fault geometry and roughness on fault-slip behaviour has …

Some faults are considered strong because their strength is consistent with the Coulomb
criterion under Byerlee's friction, 0.6< μ< 0.85. In marked contrast, numerous studies have …

Among the wide range of thermal, petrologic, hydrological, and structural factors that
potentially affect subduction earthquakes, the roughness of the subducting seafloor is …

In this paper, we present comprehensive data on stress orientation and relative magnitude
in areas throughout North America where unconventional oil and gas are currently being …

Most significant induced earthquakes occur on faults within the basement beneath
sedimentary cover. In this two‐dimensional plane strain numerical study, we examine the full …

The mechanics of great subduction earthquakes are influenced by the frictional properties,
structure, and composition of the plate-boundary fault. We present observations of the …
