The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated
emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

Crustal deformation patterns are affected by multiscale granulation and healing processes
associated with phase transitions between continuum and discrete states of rocks. The …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

We use recent results on statistical analysis of seismicity to present a robust method for
comprehensive detection and analysis of earthquake clusters. The method is based on …

There are currently three major competing views on the essential geometrical, mechanical,
and mathematical nature of faults. The standard view is that faults are (possibly segmented …

Routine seismic monitoring in mines was introduced over 30 years ago with two main
objectives in mind:• immediate location of larger seIsmIC events to guide rescue operations;• …

Abstract The great Sumatra–Andaman earthquake and tsunami of 2004 was a dramatic
reminder of the importance of understanding the seismic and tsunami hazards of subduction …

A basic micromechanical model for deformation of solids with only one tuning parameter
(weakening ε) is introduced. The model can reproduce observed stress-strain curves …

Natural earthquakes often have very few observable foreshocks which significantly
complicates tracking potential preparatory processes. To better characterize expected …
