Variable fault geometry controls the cascading 2023 Herat, Afghanistan multiplet sequence
Abstract Earthquake multiplets are an important but poorly understood class of seismic sequence. On October 7th–15th 2023, a multiplet comprising five damaging, moment magnitude (M w) 5.9–6.4 earthquakes struck northwestern Afghanistan, a region previously lacking in well-recorded seismicity.
