Does hydrologic circulation mask frictional heat on faults after large earthquakes?

Creator:

Fulton, Patrick M., Harris, Robert N., Saffer, Demian M., and Brodsky, Emily E.

Abstract:

Knowledge of frictional resistance along faults is important for understanding the mechanics of earthquakes and faulting. The clearest in situ measure of fault friction potentially comes from temperature measurements in boreholes crossing fault zones within a few years of rupture. However, large temperature signals from frictional heating on faults have...
