From geodetic imaging of seismic and aseismic fault slip to dynamic modeling of the seismic cycle

JP Avouac - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

Lower edge of locked Main Himalayan Thrust unzipped by the 2015 Gorkha earthquake

JP Avouac, L Meng, S Wei, T Wang, JP Ampuero - Nature Geoscience, 2015 - nature.com
Large earthquakes are thought to release strain on previously locked faults. However, the
details of how earthquakes are initiated, grow and terminate in relation to pre-seismically …

[HTML][HTML] Subduction zone megathrust earthquakes

SL Bilek, T Lay - Geosphere, 2018 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

The surge of great earthquakes from 2004 to 2014

T Lay - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2015 - Elsevier
During the decade from mid-2004 to mid-2014 18 great (M w≥ 8.0) earthquakes occurred
globally (∼ 1.8 per year), compared to 71 from 1900 to mid-2004 (∼ 0.68 per year), yielding …
