Investigation of Parameters Influencing Reverse Fault Rupture Propagation to the Ground Surface
<p>Surface fault rupture poses a serious threat to infrastructure in many seismically active regions, but knowledge about the factors which control the likelihood of surface displacement is limited. Current probabilistic frameworks rely only on fault mechanism and moment magnitude to predict the …

Survey of Surface Fault Rupture and Structure Interation
… report aims to raise awareness of the hazards of surface fault rupture and to identify parameters that influence structural performance during earthquake fault rupture. In researching structures subject to surface rupture, both damaged and sound, guidelines and procedures to evaluate buildings in …

Landslides and surface fault rupture from the Mw 7.8 2016 Kaikōura Earthquake
… of permanent displacement associated with fault surface rupture. No correlation between the magnitude of fault surface rupture and the magnitude of slope failure was observed. Historic instability at the sites was found to be an important control on large EIL occurrence for the Kaikoura …

Active Faulting in the Northern Walker Lane and Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance in the Central Walker Lane, Nevada and Eastern California
… ground crews in determining where to look for surface rupture, earthquake secondary effects, and associated damage. These data provided insight into the amount and style of surface deformation immediately following the earthquake events, and the locations of faulting in the central Walker Lane. …

Seismic anomalies in stable continents: exploring earthquake clusters and hidden faults in Southern Africa
… (Chapter 3) occurs without any observable surface rupture. Here, ambient noise tomography was done to generate Rayleigh wave group velocity maps which show a ve-locity transition across the lineament defined by the trend of earthquakes. This velocity transition is interpreted as evidence …

SAR interferometry analysis of surface processes in the Pamir – Tien Shan active orogens - emphasis on coseismic deformation and landslides
… to tectonically active systems and related surface deformation. With 3 publications two case studies are presented: (1) The coseismic deformation related to the Nura earthquake (5th October 2008, magnitude Mw 6.6) at the eastern termination of the intramontane Alai valley. Located between …
