Fracturing, comminution and grain-size-sensitive creep as a record of coseismic loading in the middle-crust: Insights from the Urtiga mylonitic pluton (NE Brazil)

G Viegas, R Taufner, T Okudaira, K Hidas… - Journal of Structural …, 2024 - Elsevier
Evidence for mid-crustal seismic slip is scarce due to the limited capacity of downward
propagation of rupture damage imposed by the confining pressure. Nevertheless, structures …

Strain Localization and Seismic Properties in the Heterogeneous Ailaoshan‐Red River Shear Zone, Southeast Asia

J Li, S Cao - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
Strain localization is crucial in develo** crustal‐scale shear zones; however, a systematic
