Kinematics of Active Deformation Across the Western Kunlun Mountain Range (Xinjiang, China) and Potential Seismic Hazards Within the Southern Tarim Basin by Guilbaud, Christelle, Simoes, Martine, Barrier, Laurie, Laborde, Amandine, Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Li, Haibing, Tapponnier, Paul, Coudroy, Thomas, Murray, Andrew

“…To quantify the rate of active deformation and the potential for major earthquakes in this region, we combine a structural and quantitative morphological analysis of the Yecheng–Pishan fold, along the topographic mountain front in the epicentral area. Using a seismic profile, we derive a structural cross section in which we identify the fault that broke during the Pishan earthquake, an 8–12 km deep blind ramp beneath the Yecheng–Pishan fold. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…(U/Th)/He thermochronometry supports our interpretation that this south-under-north thickening of the crust has created the region's 3 km of topographic relief. We conclude that future large earthquakes generated along the San Andreas fault in this region will have a multiplicity of mostly specifiable sources having dimensions of 1–20 km. …”
