The relationship between maximum displacement (dmax) and fault length (L) has been
studied extensively, mainly in attempts to understand how fault geometry varies over …

The present paper reviews our current understanding of fault dimensions and their scaling
laws, with special focus on faults in siliciclastic rocks. The aim is to provide a comprehensive …

川藏铁路作为史上修建难度最大的铁路, 沿线具有显著的地形高差, 强烈的板块活动,
密集的深大断裂, 频发的山地灾害等恶劣地质环境特点, 工程建设面临着复杂多变的地表和地下 …

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 …

Microfractures are small, high-aspect-ratio cracks in rock that result from application of
differential stresses. Although the term has been used to refer to larger features in the …

Maximum displacement (D) and trace length (L) data for a population of 97 normal faults
from the Canyonlands Grabens region of SE Utah are presented. Values of L range from …

We present geological and morphological observations at different scales to constrain rates
of faulting and the distribution of deformation in the seismically active Aegean region. We …

Hydrothermal outflow occurs most commonly at the terminations of individual faults and
where multiple faults interact. These areas of fault propagation and interaction are sites of …

Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Studies of Late Quaternary geological slip-rates and the GPS decadal slip-rates along the
major strike-slip faults in the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau show that slip-rates …
