| Abstract | Large earthquakes have the potential to have catastrophic impacts on humans and infrastructure when risks are not mitigated. Earthquakes nucleate at depth, but it is the upper ~1 km of a fault zone where seismic waves, rocks and sediments, fluids, humans, and their built environment intersect to drive earthquake hazard. This is the critical zone for earthquakes. This Frontier Research in Earth Sciences (FRES) project investigates how material properties that vary in space and time in the earthqu |
