Detection of aseismic slip and poroelastic reservoir deformation at the North Brawley Geothermal Field from 2009-2019
The North Brawley Geothermal Field, located within the Brawley Seismic Zone of Southern California, presents a case study for …
Community-Driven Code Comparisons for Three-Dimensional Dynamic Modeling of Sequences of Earthquakes and Aseismic Slip (SEAS)
Dynamic modeling of sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip (SEAS) provides a self-consistent, physics-based framework to connect, …
Coevolving Early Afterslip and Aftershock Signatures of a San Andreas Fault Rupture
Large earthquakes often lead to transient deformation and enhanced seismic activity, with their fastest evolution occurring at the …
Slow Slip Event on the Southern San Andreas Fault Triggered by the 2017 Mw8.2 Chiapas (Mexico) Earthquake
Abstract Observations of shallow fault creep reveal increasingly complex time-dependent slip histories that include quasi-steady creep …
Connecting Depth Limits of Interseismic Locking, Microseismicity, and Large Earthquakes in Models of Long-Term Fault Slip
Thickness of the seismogenic zone is commonly determined based on the depth of microseismicity or the fault locking depth inferred from …
Deeper Penetration of Large Earthquakes on Seismically Quiescent Faults
Why many major strike-slip faults known to have had large earthquakes are silent in the interseismic period is a long-standing enigma. …
Probabilistic Imaging of Tsunamigenic Seafloor Deformation during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake
