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....
