Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

Seismic shaking and tectonic deformation during strong earthquakes can trigger widespread
environmental effects. The severity and extent of a given effect relates to the characteristics …

Injecting fluids in the crust, or their extraction, changes pore pressure and poroelastic
stresses. Both pressure and stress changes can promote seismicity and, hence, the seismic …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

Anthropogenic changes to the environment can enhance earthquake-triggered landslides,
yet their role in earthquake disasters is often overlooked. Co-seismic landslides frequently …

Coseismic static stress changes and dynamic stresses generated by seismic waves cause
changes in water level in wells and in stream flow and alter hydrogeologic properties such …

The 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence began with the 4 September 2010, Mw7.
1 Darfield earthquake and includes up to ten events that induced liquefaction. Most notably …

Several probabilistic liquefaction triggering approaches, or liquefaction manifestation
severity approaches, have been developed to consider the uncertainties related to …

Although the density of sand has long been considered to be the predominant factor for
liquefaction resistance, observations during earthquake sequences and laboratory tests …

Earthquakes occurring over the past decade in the Canterbury region of New Zealand have
resulted in liquefaction case-history data of unprecedented quantity. This provides the …
