Surface faulting earthquake clustering controlled by fault and shear-zone interactions (2022)
Journal Article
Mildon, Z. K., Roberts, G. P., Faure Walker, J. P., Beck, J., Papanikolaou, I., Michetti, A. M., …Vittori, E. (2022). Surface faulting earthquake clustering controlled by fault and shear-zone interactions. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 7126. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-34821-5

Surface faulting earthquakes are known to cluster in time from historical and palaeoseismic studies, but the mechanism(s) responsible for clustering, such as fault interaction, strain-storage, and evolving dynamic topography, are poorly quantified, a...

No Unique Scaling Law for Igneous Dikes (2022)
Journal Article
Gill, S., Walker, R., McCaffrey, K., & Greenfield, C. (2022). No Unique Scaling Law for Igneous Dikes. Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth, 127(9), Article e2022JB024120. https://doi.org/10.1029/2022jb024120

In linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), veins, dikes, and sills grow in length when the stress intensity factor urn:x-wiley:21699313:media:jgrb55827:jgrb55827-math-0001 at the tip reaches a critical value: the host rock fracture toughness urn:x-...

Correlating deformation events onshore and offshore in superimposed rift basins: The Lossiemouth Fault Zone, Inner Moray Firth Basin, Scotland (2022)
Journal Article
Tamas, A., Holdsworth, R. E., Underhill, J. R., Tamas, D. M., Dempsey, E. D., McCarthy, D. J., …Selby, D. (2022). Correlating deformation events onshore and offshore in superimposed rift basins: The Lossiemouth Fault Zone, Inner Moray Firth Basin, Scotland. Basin Research, 34(4), 1314-1340. https://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12661

The separation and characterisation of different deformation events in superimposed basins can be challenging due to the effects of overprinting and/or fault reactivation, combined with a lack of detailed geological or geophysical data. This paper sh... Read More about Correlating deformation events onshore and offshore in superimposed rift basins: The Lossiemouth Fault Zone, Inner Moray Firth Basin, Scotland.
