The M-w 7.8, 2001 Kunlunshan earthquake: Extreme rupture speed variability and effect of fault geometry
By analyzing body wave seismograms, we show that the rupture speed on the Main Kunlun Fault during the Mw 7.8 2001 Kunlunshan, Tibet, earthquake was highly variable and the rupture process consisted of three stages. In the first stage, the rupture accelerated from rest to an average speed of 3.3 km/...
