Earthquake Processes Along Oceanic Transform Faults
… rupture behavior of earthquakes occurring along oceanic transform faults (OTFs), with a particular focus on the integration of hydroacoustic observations (T-waves). Oceanic transform faults are a key plate boundary structure, yet their rupture processes and mechanical properties remain less …

Earthquake behavior and structure of oceanic transform faults
Oceanic transform faults that accommodate strain at mid-ocean ridge offsets represent a unique environment for studying fault mechanics. Here, I use seismic observations and models to explore how fault structure affects mechanisms of slip at oceanic transforms. Using teleseismic data, I find that …

The dynamics of oceanic transform faults : constraints from geophysical, geochemical, and geodynamical modeling
Segmentation and crustal accretion at oceanic transform fault systems are investigated through a combination of geophysical data analysis and geodynamical and geochemical modeling. Chapter 1 examines the effect of fault segmentation on the maximum predicted earthquake magnitude of an oceanic …

The Mechanisms and Triggering of Earthquakes in the Ridge-Transform Environment
… earthquakes mainly located on the NW-SE striking oceanic transform faults that delineate the plate boundary. In addition, we calculate regional moment tensors for ~30 of these events, and find that the majority are right-lateral strike-slip events consistent with observed transtensional plate …
