On 4 September 2010, a surface rupturing earthquake (Mw 7.1) struck the Canterbury Plains region in New Zealand's South Island. The Canterbury Plains is a region of relatively low seismicity, and the structure that ruptured was a previously unmapped fault. ...

Radar interferometry from the ALOS satellite captured the coseismic ground deformation associated with the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile earthquake. The ALOS interferograms reveal a sharp transition in fringe pattern at ∼150 km from the trench axis that is diagnostic ...

At the surface, strike-slip fault stepovers, including abrupt fault bends, are typically regions of complex, often disconnected faults. This complexity has traditionally led geologists studying the hazard of active faults to consider such stepovers as important ...

Accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides have been found to display a finite time singularity of the velocity v. Here we provide a physical basis for this phenomenological law based on a slider block model using a state- and velocity-dependent ...
