Slip rate variations on normal faults during glacial-interglacial changes in surface loads
Article Abstract:
Geologic and palaeoseismological data document a marked increase in the rates of the Wasatch fault and three adjacent normal faults in the basin and range province during the late Pleistocene/early Holocene epochs. The analysis implies that climate controlled changes in loads applied to the earth's surface may exert a fundamental control on the slip history of individual normal faults'

Silent fault slip following an interplate thrust earthquake at the Japan Trench
Article Abstract:
A Global Positioning System (GPS) network has been used to measure transient movements in the Earth's crust after the Dec 1994 interplate earthquake at the Japan Trench. Postseismic displacement analysis showed silent and cumulative fault slips equalled the seismic moment released from the high-speed rupture. The Geographical Survey Institute's GPS network was established in Oct 1994.

Bending-related faulting and mantle serpentinization at the middle America trench
Article Abstract:
Bending-related faulting at the trench offshore Nicaragua is analyzed as it created a pervasive tectonic fabric, extensional faulting system that cuts through the crust of the incoming plate, penetrating deeply into the oceanographic lithospheric mantle.
