A powerful tsunami triggered by the Mw 9.0 Tohoku earthquake struck the northern Pacific coast of Japan in 2011, destroying several coastal communities in Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, and Fukushima Prefecture. Here, we investigate a new spati...
Based on GNSS observations, the co-seismic and post-seismic slip of the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and the spatio-temporal pattern of afterslip are investigated in this paper. The co-seismic slip is mainly distributed in the depth range of 2 to 1...
The Mw 6.3 Jinghe earthquake struck Xingjiang Province, China, on 8 August 2017 (05:15:04 UTC); the epicenter was near the Kusongmuxieke Piedmont Fault (KPF) of the northern Tian Shan Mountains. We used multi-source and multi-track satellite Syntheti...
We applied an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the late Quaternary activity of the Sava Fault in the Slovenian Southern Alps. The Sava Fault is an active strike-slip fault, and part of the Periadriatic Fault System that accommodated the converge...
In this paper, we address some questions with respect to the Tianshan Mountains that are necessary for understanding the present deformation rate in this region. A series of thrust nappe structures are distributed on the north and south sides of the...
The Xinmo landslide occurred on 24 June 2017 and caused huge casualties and property losses. As characteristics of spatiotemporal pre-collapse deformation are a prerequisite for further understanding the collapse mechanism, in this study we applied t...
Potential faults are common sensitive geological bodies that affect the safe mining of underground mines, often leading to major accidents such as rock instability and rockburst during mining. The failure mechanism of faults has been widely studied....
Linear geo-textures are widely recognized on synthetic scaled images of planetary surfaces and consist of elongated alignments of tonal contrasts. When these linear patterns are clustered in azimuthal sets and organized in domains occurring on specif...
The fusion of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) deformation data can leverage the advantages of GNSS high temporal resolution and InSAR high spatial resolution, and obtain more abundant def...
An earthquake of moderate magnitude (MW 6.1) occurred in Yangbi County, Dali, Yunnan Province, China, on 21 May 2021. Compared to strong earthquakes, the measurement of the deformation fields of moderate earthquakes is more susceptible to errors asso...
The temporal slip behavior of a fault from displaced landforms when there are no chronological data remains poorly understood. The southern segment of the Xiaojiang fault zone (XJFZ) plays an important role in accommodating the lateral extrusion of t...
Growth faults are widely distributed in the Greater Houston (GH) region of Texas, USA, and the existence of faulting could interrupt groundwater flow and aggravate local deformation. Faulting-induced property damages have become more pronounced over...
This research is concerned with developing a generalised diffusion equation capable of describing diffusion processes driven by underlying stress-redistributing type events. The work utilises the development of an appropriate continuous time random w...
Precise earthquake locations and InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) deformation observation are the major methods to understand the earthquake occurrence and disaster-causing process. This paper proposes a processing framework for analy...
It is hypothesized that the present tectonic setting of the Anatolian, Aegean and Balkan regions has been deeply influenced by the different deformation styles of the inner and outer belts which constituted the Oligocene Tethyan system. Stressed by t...
The diversion tunnel of a hydropower station is characterized by low quality surrounding rock and weak structural planes. During excavation, rock mass spalling and cracking frequently occur. To evaluate the stability of a rock mass during tunnel exca...
The upper Jinsha River, located in a high-mountain gorge with complex geological features, is highly prone to large-scale landslides, which could result in the formation of dammed lakes. Analyzing the movement characteristics of the typical Xiaomojiu...
