Dynamic deformation and fault locking of the Xianshuihe Fault Zone, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau: implications for seismic hazards

Abstract The Xianshuihe Fault Zone is one of the most historically seismically active regions in mainland China. However, the seismicity along this fault zone has been quiescent for the past 40 years, since the Daofu M6.9 earthquake in 1981. Understanding its current deformation patterns and fault c...
