Geologic context of geodetic data across a basin and range normal fault, Crescent Valley, Nevada by Sieh, Kerry, Friedrich, A. M., Lee, J., Wernicke, Brian P.

“…An excavation across the fault at Fourmile Canyon reveals that the most recent event occurred at 2.8 ± 0.1 ka, with net vertical tectonic displacement of 4.6 ± 0.4 m at this location, corresponding to the release of ∼3 m of accumulated NW-SE extension. …”

Uplift and erosion of the San Bernardino Mountains associated with transpression along the San Andreas fault, California, as constrained by radiogenic helium thermochronometry by Sieh, Kerry, Spotila, James A., Farley, Kenneth A.

“…Apatite helium thermochronometry provides new constraints on the tectonic history of a recently uplifted crystalline mass adjacent to the San Andreas fault. …”

Millennial slip rate of the Longitudinal Valley fault from river terraces : implications for convergence across the active suture of eastern Taiwan by Shyu, J. Bruce H., Sieh, Kerry, Avouac, Jean-Philippe, Chen, Wen-Shan, Chen, Yue-Gau

“…The Longitudinal Valley fault is a key element in the active tectonics of Taiwan. It is the principal structure accommodating convergence across one of the two active sutures of the Taiwan orogeny. …”

The 2015 Mw 6.0 Mt. Kinabalu earthquake: an infrequent fault rupture within the Crocker fault system of East Malaysia by Wang, Yu, Wei, Shengji, Wang, Xin, Lindsey, Eric Ostrom, Tongkul, Felix, Tapponnier, Paul, Bradley, Kyle, Chan, Chung-Han, Hill, Emma Mary, Sieh, Kerry

“…Such large earthquakes must occur very rarely, though, given the hitherto undetectable geodetic rates of active tectonic deformation across the region.…”

Submarine landslides along the Malacca Strait-Mergui basin shelf margin : insights from sequence-stratigraphic analysis by Sieh, Kerry, Lin, Nina Yu-nung, Stock, Joann

“…The enormously destructive tsunami of December 2004, caused by sudden motion of the Sunda megathrust beneath the Indian Ocean, raised concerns about tectonically induced tsunami worldwide. Submarine landslides may also trigger dangerous tsunami. …”

A 15 year slow-slip event on the Sunda megathrust offshore Sumatra by Meltzner, Aron Jeffrey, Hill, Emma Mary, Tsang, Louisa L. H., Philibosian, Belle, Freymueller, Jeffrey T., Sieh, Kerry

“…To explain these coral observations, we test four hypotheses, including regional sea level changes and various tectonic mechanisms. Our results show that the coral observations likely reflect a 15 year-long slow-slip event (SSE) on the Sunda megathrust. …”

The Sunda megathrust : past, present and future by Sieh, Kerry

“…Because it takes centuries for tectonic strains to build up again after such big earthquakes, these two events are unlikely to recur within the next hundred years. …”

Modern vertical deformation above the Sumatran subduction zone : paleogeodetic insights from coral microatolls by Zachariasen, Judith, Sieh, Kerry, Taylor, Frederick W., Hantoro, Wahyoe S.

“…Coral microatolls from the coast and outer-arc islands of Western Sumatra retain a stratigraphic and morphologic record of relative sea-level change, which is due in large part to vertical tectonic deformation above the Sumatran subduction zone. …”

Persistent elastic behavior above a megathrust rupture patch : Nias island, West Sumatra by Sieh, Kerry, Galetzka, John, Prayudi, Dudi, Suprihanto, Imam, Sastra, Nugraha, Briggs, Richard W., Amidon, William H., Suwargadi, Bambang W., Natawidjaja, Danny H., Farr, Thomas G.

“…The pattern of long-term uplift and subsidence is consistent with slow deformation of Nias along closely spaced folds in the north and trenchward dipping back thrusts in the southeast. Low Holocene tectonic uplift rates provide for excellent geomorphic and stratigraphic preservation of the mid-Holocene relative sea level high, which was under way by ∼7.3 ka and persisted until ∼2 ka.…”

Slip rate and rare large prehistoric earthquakes of the red river fault, southwestern China by Shi, Xuhua, Sieh, Kerry, Weldon, Ray, Zhu, Chengnan, Han, Yuan, Yang, Jiwu, Robinson, Stephen W.

“…The Red River fault is an important plate‐boundary fault that has played a significant role in the tectonic evolution of northern Southeast Asia. Nonetheless, its millennial slip rate and earthquake recurrence behavior are poorly constrained. …”
