Afterslip, Tremor, and the Denali Fault Earthquake

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2012
We tested the hypothesis that afterslip should be accompanied by tremor using observations of seismic and aseismic deformation surrounding the 2002 M  7.9 Denali fault, Alaska, earthquake (DFE). Afterslip happens more frequently than spontaneous slow slip and has been observed in a wider range of tectonic environments, and thus the existence or absence

Space‐time distribution of afterslip following the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2012
The inversion of multitemporal DInSAR and GPS measurements unravels the coseismic and postseismic (afterslip) slip distributions associated with the 2009 MW 6.3 L'Aquila earthquake and provides insights into the rheological properties and long‐term behavior of the responsible structure, the Paganica fault. Well‐resolved patches of high postseismic slip

Coseismic slip and afterslip of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel (Chile) earthquake determined from continuous GPS data [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
We analyzed the coseismic and early postseismic deformation of the 2015, M-w 8.3 Illapel earthquake by inverting 13 continuous GPS time series. The seismic rupture concentrated in a shallow (

Afterslip no longer an afterthought

Nature, 1997
Measuring the imperceptible motion of tectonic plates has become possible with sub-centimetre positioning from satellite data. Such measurements show that postseismic creep can release as much energy as violent earthquakes.

Afterslip Behavior following the 2014 M 6.0 South Napa Earthquake with Implications for Afterslip Forecasting on Other Seismogenic Faults

Seismological Research Letters, 2016
ABSTRACT The 24 August 2014 M  6.0 South Napa, California, earthquake exhibited unusually large slip for a California strike‐slip event of its size with a maximum coseismic surface slip of 40–50 cm in the north section of the 15‐km‐long rupture. Although only minor ( M ∼7 earthquake anticipated on the nearby urban Hayward fault.

Bulk-friction modeling of afterslip and the modified Omori law

Tectonophysics, 1997
Abstract Afterslip data from the Superstition Hills fault in southern California, a creep event on the same fault, the modified Omori law, and cumulative moments from aftershocks of the 1957 Aleutian Islands earthquake all indicate that the original formulation by Dieterich (1981) [Constitutive properties of faults with simulated gouge.

Afterslip following the 2007 Mw 8.4 Bengkulu earthquake in Sumatra loaded the 2010 Mw 7.8 Mentawai tsunami earthquake rupture zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2016
The 12 September 2007 Mw 8.4 Bengkulu earthquake in Sumatra marked the first in a modern series of large earthquakes along the Mentawai section of the Sunda megathrust.

Hey Napa—Your Afterslip Is Showing

Journal AWWA, 2015
In the aftermath of a 6.0‐magnitude earthquake and the ensuing afterslip in Napa, Calif., waterworks employees pulled together to repair leaks and maintain a safe water supply for the city. The experience will help other cities adapt to and even predict damage from future quakes.

Deficit of Large Aftershocks as an Indicator of Afterslip at the Sources of Earthquakes in Subduction Zones

Doklady Earth Sciences, 2021
A relative decrease in the fraction of large aftershocks in the first days after earthquakes in subduction zones is demonstrated, and a connection of this phenomenon with aseismic stress release is shown.

The role of afterslip in the stress interaction between repeating earthquakes and microseismicity in Parkfield

2023
Earthquake can be triggered by small stress changes from local to distant earthquakes, seasonal forcing, and human activities. While the calculated magnitude and sign of stress change greatly varies with the assumption of source stress drop, receiver fault geometry, and consideration of aseismic slip, the near-field stress triggering can be easily ...
