A New Fault Slip Mode Unveiled in the Regional Dynamic Triggering of the 2023 Turkey Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Sequence
InSAR revealed eight hidden aseismic and seismic events that were dynamically triggered by the 2023 Turkey earthquake sequence
The absence of aftershocks for two ∼M5 aseismic events implies the i...

Very-long-range dynamic triggering of mud volcano unrest and silent magnitude-6 fault slip
Seismic waves from large earthquakes are known to trigger slip on distant faults, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using interferometric synthetic aperture radar and local geodetic and se...

Shallow Tectonic Tremors Reveal the Beginning of the Slab Window at the Chilean Triple Junction
We detected ∼500 shallow tectonic tremors at the Chilean Triple Junction (CTJ), using nearly two continuous years of ocean bottom seismometers data A gap between tremors and fast seismicity is ob...

Localization of inelastic strain with fault maturity and effects on earthquake characteristics - Nature Geoscience
Ruptures on more structurally mature faults are more localized and therefore expected to host faster ruptures with less off-fault deformation, according to remote-sensing and field measurements from h...
