The triple junction as the preferred nucleation site on the main East Anatolian Fault for the 2023 Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake: Insights from 3D dynamic rupture simulations

Understanding rupture transfer across fault junctions is critical for interpreting complex multi-fault earthquakes. For the 2023 Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş event, we construct three dynamic rupture models constrained by surface fault traces, relocated aftershocks, kinematic slip inversions, near-field str...
