The motion along upper crustal faults in response to tectonic loading is controlled by both loading stresses and surface properties, for example, roughness. Fault roughness influences earthquake slip distributions, stress-drops and possible transitions from stable to unstable sliding which is connected to the radiation of seismic energy. The relationship between fault roughness and seismic event d...
