Laboratory measurements of constitutive frictional parameters are commonly inferred to explain the wide variety slip behavior seen on natural faults. The extent which these small-scale directly relate fault remains obscure. In this work, we compare laboratory-determined surface-derived samples from along length Longitudinal Valley Fault (LVF) in Taiwan with observed and obtained geodetically. L...

Abstract This study shows the neotectonic deformation occurred in southern piedmont of Cumbres Calchaquíes, Amaicha and Tafí valleys. Neotectonic manifests itself through faults, folds diversions drainage channels. The valley is bounded to north by del Valle fault south Los Cardones fault. Calchaquíes ride over Sierra de Aconquija Carapunco faults. also has a synestral component, responsible fo...

The nature of failure in earthquakes is one of the most fundamental questions in geophysics. We approach this problem using near-source seismic recordings of strongground motion to image the rupture process of earthquakes. We apply the technique to three well-recorded earthquakes in California and interpret the results in terms of earthquake rupture dynamics. To calculate theoretical seismogram...
