Abstract: Abstract Application of the SCARDEC method provides the apparent source time functions together with seismic moment, depth, and focal mechanism, for most of the recent earthquakes with magnitude larger than 5.6–6. Using this large dataset,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaw0913
Abstract: A lower crustal earthquake is initiated by dynamic rupturing with fragmentation of wall rock that precedes frictional melting. Earthquakes in the continental crust commonly occur in the upper 15 to 20 km. Recent studies demonstrate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1785/0220200198
Abstract: Often, tsunami “sources” have been treated as a quasistatic problem. Initial studies have demonstrated that, for earthquake rupture velocities in the span of 1.5–3 km/s, the kinematic and static part of the tsunami can be treated… read more here.
