Quantifying the Role of 3D Fault Geometry Complexities on Slow and Fast Earthquakes
J. Cheng, H. S. Bhat, M. Almakari +2
Traditional models of slow slip events (SSEs) oversimplify fault geometry, although imaging shows subduction faults are segmented and complex. We examine how fault interactions con…
Theoretical constraints on tidal triggering of slow earthquakes
Yishuo Zhou, Ankit Gupta, Hideo Aochi +4
Tidal stress is a globally acting perturbation driven primarily by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun. Understanding how tidal stresses can trigger seismic events is…
Fault volume digital twin to reproduce the full slip spectrum, scaling and statistical laws
M. Almakari, N. Kheirdast, C. Villafuerte +7
Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors.…
Depth Dependence of Coseismic Off-Fault Damage and its Effects on Rupture Dynamics
Roxane Ferry, Marion Y. Thomas, Harsha S. Bhat +1
Faults are complex systems embedded in an evolving medium fractured by seismic ruptures. This off-fault damage zone is shown to be thermo-hydro-mechano-chemically coupled to the ma…
