After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording
evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great …

We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W⁠, rupture length L⁠, rupture
area A⁠, and average slip D⁠, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

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 …

The assimilation of geological, geophysical, and laboratory data in physics-based models of
fault dynamics promises increasingly realistic simulations of the seismic cycle. To assist this …

During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …

There is increasing evidence that the Himalayan seismicity can be bimodal: blind
earthquakes (up to Mw~ 7.8) tend to cluster in the downdip part of the seismogenic zone …

While power law distributions in seismic moment and interevent times are ubiquitous in
regional earthquake catalogs, the statistics of individual faults remains controversial …

Accurate probabilistic seismic hazard analysis requires a good knowledge of the recurrence
parameters of the strongest earthquakes in a region. Due to the typical short temporal span …

Subduction zone earthquakes result in some of the most devastating natural hazards on
Earth. Knowledge of where great (moment magnitude M≥ 8) subduction zone earthquakes …
