    • Aftershock seismicity and tectonic setting of the 2015 September 16 Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake, Central Chile 
      Lange, Dietrich; Geersen, Jacob; Barrientos Parra, Sergio; Moreno, Marcos; Grevemeyer, Ingo; Contreras Reyes, Eduardo; Kopp, Heidrun (Oxford University Press, 2016)
      Powerful subduction zone earthquakes rupture thousands of square kilometres along continental margins but at certain locations earthquake rupture terminates. To date, detailed knowledge of the parameters that govern seismic ...
    • Dynamic inversion of the 2015 Jujuy earthquake and similarity with other intraslab events 
      Herrera Ramírez, Carlos; Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Madariaga, Raúl; Poli, Piero (Oxford University Press, 2017-05)
      We study the seismic source of the 2015 (M-w 6.7) Jujuy, Argentina intermediate depth earthquake. We first constrain the fault plane by using a teleseismic inversion and by determining the aftershock distribution. Then, ...
    • Supershear frictional ruptures along bimaterial interfaces 
      Shlomai, H.; Adda-Bedia, M.; Arias Federici, Rodrigo; Fineberg, Jay (Amer Geophysical Union, 2020)
      We experimentally and analytically explore supershear ruptures that are excited at the onset of frictional motion within "bimaterial interfaces," frictional interfaces formed by contacting bodies having different elastic ...
