Boxing Earthquakes and Faults in ACtive Tectonics

Large-magnitude earthquakes accommodate most of the tectonic deformations of the Earth along active fault systems. However, despite the occurrence of numerous earthquakes every year, our knowledge of the physical processes governing earthquake ruptures, the relation between rupture propagation, slip distribution and fault geometry, and the evolution of the fault geometry through successive earthquake cycles is still extremely limited, hindering significant progress in earthquake hazard mitigation. Although an increasing number of observations points to a key role of the fault geometry and its evolution on the way rupture propagates and ends through successive earthquake cycles,…
