Power-law Distribution of Fault Slip-rates in Southern California
Meade, Brendan J. (American Geophysical Union, 2007)The spatial partitioning of deformation in the continental crust and, in particular, at plate boundary zones is determined by the distribution of fault slip-rates. Analytic and numerical models of strain accumulation in ... -
Predicting the Geodetic Signature of Mw ≥ 8 Slow Slip Events
Meade, Brendan J.; Loveless, Jack (American Geophysical Union, 2009)Elastic dislocation models of geodetic measurements above subduction zones have led to the identification of MW ≈ 6.0–7.2 slow slip events (SSEs) that release elastic strain over periods of days to months, but great (MW ≥ ... -
Present Day Kinematics of the Eastern California Shear Zone from a Geodetically Constrained Block Model
McClusky, Simon C.; Bjornstad, S.C.; Hager, Bradford H.; King, R. W.; Meade, Brendan J.; Miller, M. M.; Monastero, F. C.; Souter, B. J. (American Geophysical Union, 2001)We use Global Positioning System (GPS) data from 1993–2000 to determine horizontal velocities of 65 stations in eastern California and western Nevada between 35° and 37° N. We relate the geodetic velocities to fault slip ... -
Present-Day Kinematics at the India-Asia Collision Zone: COMMENT and REPLY: REPLY
Meade, Brendan J. (Geological Society of America, 2007) -
Rapid slip-deficit rates at the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau prior to the 2008 M w 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake
Thompson, Thomas Ben; Plesch, Andreas; Shaw, John H.; Meade, Brendan J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)The Longmen Shan is the steepest topographic front at the India-Asia collision zone and the site of the Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake. Here to explain the interseismic GPS velocities across the greater Longmen Shan region, ... -
Revisiting the Orogenic Energy Balance in the Western Taiwan Orogen with Weak Faults
Meade, Brendan J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)Orogens at convergent margins must meet the energetic requirements necessary to lift rocks against gravity, allow for frictional sliding along basal detachments and accommodate internal deformation processes. The combination ... -
The Signature of an Unbalanced Earthquake Cycle in Himalayan Topography?
Meade, Brendan J. (Geological Society of America, 2010)Fifty percent of the relative motion between the Indian and Asian plates is accommodated by active convergence at the Himalayan Range Front (HRF). Earthquake cycle processes on shallowly dipping HRF thrust faults generate ... -
Spatial Correlation of Interseismic Coupling and Coseismic Rupture Extent of the 2011 M\(_W\) = 9.0 Tohoku-oki Earthquake
Loveless, John P.; Meade, Brendan J. (American Geophysical Union, 2011)Imaging the extent to which the rupture areas of great earthquakes coincide with regions of pre-seismic interplate coupling is central to understanding patterns of strain accumulation and release through the earthquake ... -
Spatial Localization of Moment Deficits in Southern California
Meade, Brendan J.; Hager, Bradford H. (American Geophysical Union, 2005)The balance between interseismic elastic strain accumulation and coseismic release defines the extent to which a fault system exhibits a surplus or deficit of large earthquakes. We calculate the regional moment accumulation ... -
Spatial Variability of Erosion Rates Inferred from the Frequency Distribution of Cosmogenic 3He in Olivines from Hawaiian River Sediments
Gayer, Eric; Mukhopadhyay, Sujoy; Meade, Brendan (Elsevier, 2008)To constrain the spatial distribution of erosion rates in the Waimea river watershed, on the western side of the island of Kauai, Hawaii, we calculate the frequency distribution of cosmogenic He-3 concentrations ([He-3],) ... -
Stress Modulation on the San Andreas Fault by Interseismic Fault System Interactions
Loveless, John P.; Meade, Brendan J. (Geological Society of America, 2011)During the interseismic phase of the earthquake cycle, between large earthquakes, stress on faults evolves in response to elastic strain accumulation driven by tectonic plate motions. Because earthquake cycle processes ... -
Temporal Variation in Climate and Tectonic Coupling in the Central Andes
McQuarrie, Nadine; Ehlers, Todd A.; Barnes, Jason B.; Meade, Brendan J. (Geological Society of America, 2009)Analog and numerical models predict a coupling between climate and tectonics whereby erosion infl uences the deformation of orogens. A testable prediction from modeling studies is the decrease in width of mountain ranges ... -
Viscoelastic Deformation for a Clustered Earthquake Cycle
Meade, Brendan J.; Hager, Bradford H. (American Geophysical Union, 2004)The clustering of earthquakes in time on the same fault affects the rate and pattern of interseismic deformation. We develop a simple analytic viscoelastic model of the surface velocity field through a clustered earthquake ...
