Abstract The 1992 M w 7.3 Landers earthquake is perhaps one of the best studied seismic
events. However, many aspects of the dynamics of the rupture process are still puzzling, for …

The dynamics and potential size of earthquakes depend crucially on rupture transfers
between adjacent fault segments. To accurately describe earthquake source dynamics …

We study the effects of pore fluid pressure (Pf) on the pre‐earthquake, near‐fault stress
state, and 3‐D earthquake rupture dynamics through six scenarios utilizing a structural …

While a number of viable physical mechanisms have been offered to explain the temporal
clustering of aftershocks, the spatial clustering of aftershocks, in particular the concentrated …

Abstract Along the San Bernardino strand of the San Andreas fault (SAF) and across the
eastern California shear zone (ECSZ), geologic slip rates differ from those inverted from …

Rock deformation often is investigated using kinematic and/or mechanical models. Here we
provide a direct comparison of these modeling techniques in the context of a deformed dike …

Faults often form through reactivation of pre-existing structures, developing geometries and
mechanical properties specific to the system's geologic inheritance. Competition between …

Geometric complexities of faults and fault systems are first‐order effects that complicate the
mechanics of faulting and physics of earthquakes. We investigate the importance of this …

Earthquakes that rupture across steps between faults can be larger than those predicted
from individual fault lengths, making understanding multifault events critical to assessing …

The magnitude–frequency distribution (MFD) of many earthquake catalogs is well described
by the Gutenberg–Richter (GR) law or its tapered version (TGR). This distribution is usually …
