DOI: 10.1007/s10706-019-00965-3
Abstract: We estimate the maximum magnitude scaling relationships for strike-slip earthquakes in Myanmar based on the well-investigated coseismic fault rupture of two earthquake events in Myanmar: the 2011 Tarlay and 2012 Thabeikkyin earthquakes. We compare the… read more here.
