Steps and Gaps in Ground Ruptures: Empirical Bounds on Rupture Propagation (2016, background): “Discussion This study expands upon earlier studies by Wesnousky (2006, 2008), which provided an initial estimate of the maximum step size through which an earthquake might rupture.”
Towards inferring earthquake patterns from geodetic observations of interseismic coupling (2010, background): “This segmentation may partly be controlled by geometrical complexities such as local non-planarity and fault step-over”
Quantifying near‐field and off‐fault deformation patterns of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake (2015, background): “…some cases leads to rupture cessation [e.g., Segall and Pollard, 1980; Schwartz and Coppersmith, 1984; Barka and Kadinsky-Cade, 1988; Harris et al., 1991; Harris and Day, 1993; Duan and Oglesby, 2005; Wesnousky, 2006; Oglesby, 2008; Biegel et al., 2008; Elliott et al., 2009; Sammis et al., 2009].”
Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 (UCERF3)—The Time‐Independent Model (2014, background): “There is also now a substantial body of literature on the viability of multifault ruptures (e.g., Segall and Pollard, 1980; Knuepfer, 1989; Harris et al., 1991; Harris and Day, 1993; Lettis et al., 2002; Duan and Oglesby, 2006; Wesnousky, 2006; Shaw and Dieterich, 2007; Black and Jackson, 2008; and ”
