To investigate the dynamic weakening mechanisms activated during seismic slip in thermally unstable rocks, we performed 34 experiments at room temperature and humidity conditions with a high-velocity rotary shear friction apparatus

To understand the reason why the co-seismic slip and tsunami amplitudes were so high in this region, was performed the "Sumatra Aftershocks" cruise (R/V Marion Dufresne, Jakarta, July 15 - Colombo, August 9, 2005) in order to establish the geodynamical context ...

<p>In this and two companion papers (9, 10), is reported on the nature of faulting in these great earthquakes based on seismological analyses of the extensive, openly available seismogram data set from the international Federation of Digital Seismic Networks ...
