Thanks for the sharing by Shiqing. It should be a great honor for my collaborators and me.

Glad to share @DDTSUSTech 's work: observable back-propagating ruptures can be excited by a variety of perturbation mechanisms, and observations confirm their wide existence.

Ding et al. simulate various scenarios to analyze a backward rupture branching during the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake, and show it can occur by both direct and indirect triggering depending on the fault's initial stress and friction conditions.
