Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

There is striking evidence that the dynamics of the Earth crust is controlled by a wide variety
of mutually dependent mechanisms acting at different spatial and temporal scales. The …

Continuously recording Global Positioning System stations near the 28 March 2005 rupture
of the Sunda megathrust [moment magnitude (M w) 8.7] show that the earthquake triggered …

We evaluate the effect of coseismic stress changes on the fault slip at midcrustal depth,
assuming a velocity‐strengthening brittle creep rheology. We show that this model can help …

Laboratory and theoretical studies suggest that earthquakes are preceded by a phase of
developing slip instability in which the fault slips slowly before accelerating to dynamic …

On the basis of a waveform similarity analysis, we detected 321 earthquake clusters with
very similar (cross‐correlation coefficient> 0.95) waveforms on the plate boundary in the …

Unique attributes in sequences of recurring, similar microearthquakes at Parkfield,
California, provide a means for inferring slip rate at depth throughout the active fault surface …

Agnathan fish hold a key position in vertebrate evolution, especially regarding the origin of
the head and neural-crest-derived tissue. In contrast to amphioxus, lampreys and other …

The relationship between small‐magnitude seismicity and large‐scale crustal faulting along
the Hayward Fault, California, is investigated using a double‐difference (DD) earthquake …

Because of short recurrence times and known locations, small repeating earthquakes
present a rare predictable opportunity for detailed field observations. They are used to study …
