Summary Rick Sibson revolutionised structural geology by showing that fault rocks contain an integrated record of earthquakes. Fault- rock textures develop in response to geological and physical variables such as composition, environmental conditions, fluid presence and strain rate. These parameters also determine the rate- and state-variable frictional stability of a fault, the dominant mineral deformation mechanism and shear strength, and ultimately control the partitioning between seismic & aseismic deformation. These papers address the geological record of earthquake faulting from field-based or theoretical perspectives.
General notePartly based on papers presented at a special symposium "Geological and Geophysical Signatures of Earth Deformation and Fluid Flow", held as part of the Geosciences 09 conference, in Oamaru, New Zealand, November 2009.
