The 2002 Denali Fault Earthquake, Alaska: A Large Magnitude, Slip-Partitioned Event
The M W (moment magnitude) 7.9 Denali fault earthquake on 3 November 2002 was associated with 340 kilometers of surface rupture and was the largest strike-slip earthquake in North America in almost 150 years. It illuminates earthquake mechanics and hazards of large strike-slip faults. It began with...
