Changes in permeability caused by transient stresses: Field observations, experiments, and mechanisms
Michael Manga,Igor A. Beresnev,Emily E. Brodsky,Jean E. Elkhoury,Derek Elsworth,Steve Ingebritsen,David C. Mays,Chi-Yuen Wang +7 more
TL;DR: Manga et al. as discussed by the authors studied the changes in permeability caused by transient stresses in the Earth's crust and proposed several mechanisms to change the permeability of geologic media, such as unblocking colloidal deposits or mobilizing droplets and bubbles trapped in pores.

Michael Manga,Igor A. Beresnev,Emily E. Brodsky,Jean E. Elkhoury,Derek Elsworth,David C. Mays,Chi-Yuen Wang +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the mechanisms that can change permeability at small stresses, such as unblocking pores, either by breaking up permeability-limiting colloidal deposits or by mobilizing droplets and bubbles trapped in pores by capillary forces.

Neotectonic architecture of Taiwan and its implications for future large earthquakes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a neotectonic map of Taiwan based on structural and geomorphic expression of active faults and folds both in the field and on shaded relief maps prepared from a 40m resolution digital elevation model, augmented by geodetic and seismologic data.

Structural geology of a classic thrust belt earthquake: the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake Taiwan (Mw=7.6)
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural context of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake (M w = 7.6) in western Taiwan, which is one of the best-instrumented thrust-belt earthquakes, is discussed.

Tectonic analysis of fault slip data sets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstruct reduced stress tensors that correspond to the orientation of stress axes and to the ratio ϕ = (σ2−σ3)/(σ1 −σ3) between principal stress values (σ1≥σ2≤σ3, compression being positive).

The geology of earthquakes
TL;DR: The geology of the earthquake source region is described in this paper, where Zechariah (ca 520 B C ), Israel and Schmidt (1825 - 1884), Germany describe the geology and geodesy of the region.

A synthesis of the geologic evolution of Taiwan
TL;DR: The island arc of Taiwan is composed of Cenozoic geosynclinal sediments more than 10,000 m thick, lying on a pre-Tertiary metamorphic basement.

Holocene activity of the San Andreas fault at Wallace Creek, California
Kerry Sieh,Richard H. Jahns +1 more
TL;DR: Wallace Creek is an ephemeral stream in central California, the present channel of which displays an offset of 128 m along the San Andreas fault as discussed by the authors, and small gullies near Wallace Creek record evidence for the amount of dextral slip during the past three great earthquakes.

From orientation to magnitudes in paleostress determinations using fault slip data
TL;DR: In this article, the orientation of principal stress axes and the ratio Φ of the differences between principal stress magnitudes were determined by using rupture and friction laws, where the depth of overburden brought an additional constraint.
