Researchers used the largest GPS data set yet to examine deformation of the crust across continental China and its implications for tectonic activity.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A theoretical study explores why small earthquake sources can produce quasiperiodic sequences of identical events, whereas earthquakes on large faults are intrinsically more variable.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Numerical simulations of earthquake cycle deformation reveal that co-seismic and interseismic fault propagation can produce distinct propagation angles that may be recorded in the crust.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
