Abstract. The state of Nevada is home to one of the most seismically active regions in the world, with crustal deformation associated with the Walker Lane

<em>Geophysical Research Letters</em> is an AGU journal publishing high-impact, innovative articles on major advances spanning all of the major geoscience disciplines.

The researchers found geometric complexity of nearby faults could play a role in the risk of earthquakes

Analysis of some of the main fault zones in California shows that the presence of complex earthquake fault-network geometries results in geometric locking that promotes stick-slip behaviour, whereas s...

Precarious rocks near Los Angeles hold clues to giant earthquake hazard

Rocks that naturally lay in precarious positions remained upright during an earthquake, surprising seismologists
