Abstract The Wenchuan earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling project (WFSD) started right after
the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake to investigate its faulting mechanism. Hole 1 (WFSD …

To produce the electromagnetic (E&M) precursors of an earthquake, the existence of electric
field due to stress-induced charges on the ground surface or in shallow depths of upper …

The frontal part of the Japan Trench plate‐boundary fault is enriched in low‐strength
smectite, and this material characteristic is thought to be a factor for the large fault slip during …

We present a geophysical characterization at 0.1–100 m scales of a major plate‐bounding
continental fault in a late‐interseismic state. The Alpine Fault produces MW∼ 8 earthquakes …

Geophysical logs collected from a deep borehole drilled into the North American Craton in
Northeastern Alberta shed valuable light on the state of stress in stable cratons. Observed …

During an earthquake, the physical and the chemical transformations along a slip zone lead
to an intense deformation within the gouge layer of a mature fault zone. Because the gouge …

Delineation of subsurface faults and damage zones is a major goal of scientific drilling
projects in seismically active areas. Geophysical logs acquired in a 3‐km deep scientific …

The large slip along the shallow subduction interface during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki
earthquake (M w 9.0) caused a huge tsunami that struck the northeast coast of Honshu …

We study the deformation features preserved in basement granitoids recovered by scientific
core drilling from an active seismic zone in the Koyna region, Deccan Traps, India. The …

It is widely accepted that the faults can act as the conduits or the barrier for oil and gas
migration. Years of studies suggested that the internal architecture of a fault zone is …
