These characteristics pose significant challenges when assessing the seismic hazards of active thrust faults. In many regions of active faulting, earthquake forecasts rely primarily on surface ruptures to define previous fault activity, slip rates, and paleoearthquake magnitudes. As a result, assessments of... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
