+\citeN{Kaneko:etal:????} have developed some of the most sophisticated
+earthquake cycle models. Using spectral element simulations that
+capture the dynamic rupture propagation as well as the interseismic
+deformation, they examined the effects of low-rigidity layers and a
+fault damaged zone on rupture dynamics. In addition to purely dynamic
+effects, such as amplified slip rates during dynamic rupture, they
+found several effects that would be almost impossible to include
+without resolving both the interseismic deformation and the rapid slip
+during dynamic rupture; the low-rigidity layers reduced the nucleation
+size, amplified slip rates during dynamic rupture, increased the
+recurrent interval, and reduced the amount of aseismic slip
 
 Collectively, these studies suggest a set of desirable features for
 models of the earthquake cycle in order to capture both the slow
 deformation associated with interseismic behavior and the rapid
 deformation associated with earthquake rupture propagation. These

 also include the coupling of elasticity to fluid and/or heat flow.
