Cyclic Opening of Deep Fractures Regulates Plate Boundary Slip

by Brandon Schmandt 24 September 202420 September 2024

Seismic anisotropy changes through time suggest that cyclical opening of fluid-filled fractures is synchronized with subduction zone slow slip events.

Faults Along Salt Walls Are Less Stressed in the Paradox Basin

by Birgit Müller 22 July 202422 July 2024

Based on an extended stress database, scientists observe systematic changes in the tectonic stress state and a reduction in fault reactivation potential near salt walls in the Paradox Basin.

Caldera Collapse as a Natural Example of Rock Friction

by Yosuke Aoki 25 June 202424 June 2024

Recurrent slips on the caldera wall of the Kīlauea Volcano are a natural experiment not only to understand the mechanics of caldera formation but also to gain more insights into fault friction.
