New in #GSABulletin: The 23 January 2024 Mw 7.0 Wushi earthquake in the SW Tian Shan (China) produced no surface rupture. Instead, a Mw 5.7 aftershock 1 week later generated an ~4-km-long surface rupture with >1 m vertical offset. doi.org/10.1130/B38356.1 #Geology #Seismology #Earthquakes #Tectonics #GSABulletin #GSAPubs Image: Fig. 10 from paper
