A devastating doublet of earthquakes with moment magnitude MW 7.9 and MW 7.6
earthquakes contiguously occurred in SE Türkiye near the NW border of Syria. Here we …

To improve the empirical basis for estimating the likely length of future earthquake ruptures
on mapped active faults, we measure map‐scale complexities including fault bends …

We use fault maps and fault propagation evidences available in the literature to examine
geometrical relations between parent faults and off-fault splays. The population includes 47 …

The tsunami of 27 November 1945 from an M w 8.1 earthquake in the Makran subduction
zone is the only instrumentally recorded and deadly tsunami in the northwest Indian Ocean; …

The propagation of the rupture of the Mw7. 9 Denali fault earthquake from the central Denali
fault onto the Totschunda fault has provided a basis for dynamic models of fault branching in …

Orientations of natural fault systems are subject to large variations. They often contradict
classical Coulomb failure theory as they are misoriented relative to the regional …

Recent earthquakes have demonstrated that rupture may propagate through geometrically
complex networks of faults. Ancient exhumed faults have the potential to reveal the details of …

First order splay faults, as defined here, are secondary faults that form at acute angles
symmetrically on either side of a primary fault of the same sense of shear. We show that …

Fault intersections are a geometric complexity that frequently occurs in nature. Here we
focus on earthquake rupture behavior when a continuous planar main fault has a second …

Relatively low rates of seismicity and fault loading have made it challenging to correlate
microseismicity to mapped surface faults on the forearc of southern Vancouver Island. Here …
