Paleoseismology has been making an important contribution to understanding the Alpine
Fault and the hazard it poses to society. However, evidence of past earthquakes comes from …

Minor changes in geometry along the length of mature strike-slip faults may act as
conditional barriers to earthquake rupture, terminating some and allowing others to pass …

The rupture patterns of large earthquakes in transpressional systems can provide important
information for understanding oblique motion and strain partitioning between tectonic …

Long paleoseismic records on mature faults suggest potentially chaotic recurrence patterns
with cycles of strain accumulation and release that challenge simple slip-or time-predictable …

Temperature and fluid pressure conditions control rock deformation and mineralization on
geological faults, and hence the distribution of earthquakes. Typical intraplate continental …

The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes
demonstrate the importance of developing seismically safe building codes. The …

The Lenglongling fault (LLLF) is located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan
Plateau and forms a part of the Tianzhu seismic gap along the Qilian‐Haiyuan fault zone …

The predicted severity of liquefaction manifested at the ground surface is a popular and
pragmatic proxy of damage potential for infrastructure. Toward this end, the liquefaction …

Surface-rupturing earthquakes can produce fault displacements that abruptly alter the
established course of rivers. Several notable examples of fault rupture–induced river …

In tectonically active mountain ranges, landslides triggered by earthquakes mobilise large
volumes of sediment that affect river dynamics. This sediment delivery can cause …
