The earthquake cycle in the dry lower continental crust: insights from two deeply exhumed terranes (Musgrave Ranges, Australia and Lofoten, Norway). Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences, 379(2193), Article 20190416. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2019.0416

This paper discusses the results of field-based geological investigations of exhumed rocks exposed in the Musgrave Ranges (Central Australia) and in Nusfjord (Lofoten, Norway) that preserve evidence for lower continental crustal earthquakes with foca...

Stress fields of ancient seismicity recorded in the dynamic geometry of pseudotachylyte in the Outer Hebrides Fault Zone, UK (2020)
Journal Article
Campbell, L., Lloyd, G., Phillips, R., Walcott, R., & Holdsworth, R. (2021). Stress fields of ancient seismicity recorded in the dynamic geometry of pseudotachylyte in the Outer Hebrides Fault Zone, UK. Journal of the Geological Society, 178(1), Article jgs2020-101. https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2020-101

Heterogeneous sequences of exhumed fault rocks preserve a record of the long-term evolution of fault strength and deformation behaviour during prolonged tectonic activity. Along the Outer Hebrides Fault Zone (OHFZ) in NW Scotland, numerous pseudotach...

Earthquake nucleation in the lower crust by local stress amplification (2020)
Journal Article
Campbell, L. R., Menegon, L., Fagereng, Å., & Pennacchioni, G. (2020). Earthquake nucleation in the lower crust by local stress amplification. Nature communications, 11(1), Article 1322. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15150-x

Deep intracontinental earthquakes are poorly understood, despite their potential to cause significant destruction. Although lower crustal strength is currently a topic of debate, dry lower continental crust may be strong under high-grade conditions....

Rupture geometries in anisotropic amphibolite recorded by pseudotachylytes in the Gairloch Shear Zone, NW Scotland (2019)
Journal Article
Campbell, L. R., Phillips, R. J., Walcott, R. C., & Lloyd, G. E. (2019). Rupture geometries in anisotropic amphibolite recorded by pseudotachylytes in the Gairloch Shear Zone, NW Scotland. Scottish Journal of Geology, 55(2), 75-92. https://doi.org/10.1144/sjg2019-003

Recent earthquakes involving complex multi-fault rupture have increased our appreciation of the variety of rupture geometries and fault interactions that occur within the short duration of coseismic slip. Geometrical complexities are intrinsically li... Read More about Rupture geometries in anisotropic amphibolite recorded by pseudotachylytes in the Gairloch Shear Zone, NW Scotland.

Transient High Strain Rate During Localized Viscous Creep in the Dry Lower Continental Crust (Lofoten, Norway) (2019)
Journal Article
Campbell, L. R., & Menegon, L. (2019). Transient High Strain Rate During Localized Viscous Creep in the Dry Lower Continental Crust (Lofoten, Norway). Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth, 124(10), 10240-10260. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019jb018052

Understanding the ability of the lower crust to support transient changes in stresses and strain rates during the earthquake cycle requires a detailed investigation of the deformation mechanisms and rheology of deep crustal fault rocks. Here, we show... Read More about Transient High Strain Rate During Localized Viscous Creep in the Dry Lower Continental Crust (Lofoten, Norway).
