Co-seismic ruptures of the 12 May 2008, Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan: East–west crustal shortening on oblique, parallel thrusts along the eastern edge of Tibet
Jing Liu-Zeng,Z. Zhang,Li Wen,Paul Tapponnier,Jielun Sun,X. Xing,G. Hu,Qiang Xu,Lingsen Zeng,Lin Ding,Chen Ji,Kenneth W. Hudnut,J. van der Woerd +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, surface breaks along two of the main branches of the NE-trending Longmen Shan thrust fault system are reported. But the authors do not report any co-seismic slip partitioning on parallel thrusts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holocene left-slip rate determined by cosmogenic surface dating on the Xidatan segment of the Kunlun fault (Qinghai, China)
J. van der Woerd,J. van der Woerd,Frederick J. Ryerson,Paul Tapponnier,Yves Gaudemer,Robert C. Finkel,Anne-Sophie Mériaux,Anne-Sophie Mériaux,Marc W. Caffee,Zhao Guoguang,He Qunlu +10 more
TL;DR: Cosmogenic dating, using in situ quartz pebbles from alluvial terrace surfaces, constrains the late Holocene slip rate on the Xidatan segment of the Kunlun fault in northeastern Tibet as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slip-Rate Measurements on the Karakorum Fault May Imply Secular Variations in Fault Motion
Marie-Luce Chevalier,Marie-Luce Chevalier,Frederick J. Ryerson,Paul Tapponnier,Robert C. Finkel,J. van der Woerd,Li Haibing,Liu Qing +7 more
TL;DR: Beryllium-10 surface exposure dating of offset moraines on one branch of the Karakorum Fault west of the Gar basin yields a long-term right-lateral slip rate that is 10 times larger than that inferred from recent InSAR analyses, suggesting that large rate fluctuations may exist over centennial or millennial time scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the return times of great Himalayan earthquakes in eastern Nepal: Evidence from the Patu and Bardibas strands of the Main Frontal Thrust
Laurent Bollinger,Soma Nath Sapkota,Paul Tapponnier,Yann Klinger,Magali Rizza,J. van der Woerd,D. R. Tiwari,R. Pandey,A. Bitri,S. Bes de Berc +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a refined, longer slip history of the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) and two overlapping strands (Patu and Bardibas Thrusts) in that region, based on updated geomorphic/neotectonic mapping of active faulting, two 1.3 km long shallow seismic profiles, and logging of two river-cut cliffs, three paleoseismological trenches, and several pits, with constraints from 74 detrital charcoals and 14 foreseeable nuclide ages.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Aksay segment of the northern Altyn Tagh fault: Tectonic geomorphology, landscape evolution, and Holocene slip rate
Anne-Sophie Mériaux,Anne-Sophie Mériaux,Paul Tapponnier,Frederick J. Ryerson,XU Xiwei,Geoffrey C. P. King,J. van der Woerd,J. van der Woerd,Robert C. Finkel,Li Haibing,Li Haibing,Marc W. Caffee,Marc W. Caffee,Xu Zhiqin,Chen Wen-bin +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the abandonment age of the overlying level for fill terraces or channels and the emplacement of the underlying level for strath terraces are used to estimate the average Holocene slip rate of 17.8 ± 3.6 mm/yr.
