On 22 July 2020, an Mw 6.3 earthquake occurred in Nima County, central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. We used the synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technique with Sentinel-1 images to retrieve the line of sight (LOS) coseismic deformation ...

Imaging topographic growth by long-lived postseismic afterslip at Sefidabeh, east Iran [PDF]
This paper describes observations and models of the postseismic deformation following the 1994 Sefidabeh earthquake sequence in east Iran, which shed light on the nature of the earthquake cycle and the mechanisms of topographic growth in the region. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar observations show creeping fault motion (“postseismic afterslip”

Dynamics of a fault model with two mechanically different regions
We consider a fault containing two regions with different mechanical behaviours: a strong, velocity-weakening region (asperity) and a weak, velocity-strengthening region.

Coseismic and postseismic fault slip characteristics of the 2020 MW6.3 Nima earthquake
The 2020 MW6.3 Nima earthquake occurred in the northern Yibug Caka graben on the Qiangtang Block of the Tibetan Plateau. The epicentral area has complex geological structures, topography, and geomorphology, and there are few near-field ground observation

Based on GNSS observations, the co-seismic and post-seismic slip of the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and the spatio-temporal pattern of afterslip are investigated in this paper. The co-seismic slip is mainly distributed in the depth range of 2 to 15 km

Time‐dependent triggered afterslip following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake [PDF]
We employ a modified version of the Network Inversion Filter to investigate time‐dependent slip following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Previous analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) and leveling data suggests afterslip on the Loma Prieta rupture as well as aseismic slip on a thrust fault northeast of the San Andreas fault which we identify ...

Slow Slip Events Following the 2002 Mw 7.1 Hualien Offshore Earthquake Afterslip [PDF]
Abstract The recurrence intervals of slow slip events may increase gradually after a large earthquake during the afterslip. Stress perturbations during coseismic and postseismic periods may result in such an increase of intervals. However, the increasing recurrence intervals of slow slip events are rarely observed during an afterslip.

2001年MW7.8昆仑山地震震后形变观测、机制与青藏高原中北部岩石圈流变:认识与挑战
2001年MW7.8昆仑山地震是近半个世纪以来青藏高原发生的最大震级地震。同震破裂产生的巨大应力扰动驱动控制着显著震后形变。二十年尺度的大地测量数据记录了地震后长时间、大范围、时空依赖的震后形变演化过程及差异,揭示了昆仑山地震破裂段复杂的断层分段震后运动学特征、分段摩擦性质差异和青藏高原中北部岩石圈流变性质/结构横向各向异性。本文简要回顾昆仑山地震后基于二十年尺度时序InSAR和GPS的震后形变观测方法和时空特征,特别是时空密集的InSAR观测,是该构造区震后GPS观测的重要补充及其不可替代的观测手段 ...

Abstract Monitoring tectonic tremors is crucial for understanding stress release in subduction zones and assessing megathrust earthquake risk. The Hyuga‐nada region, at the western edge of the Nankai Trough, Japan, provides a natural laboratory for investigating links among slow earthquakes, megathrust events, and complex subduction structures.

The 2015 Gorkha (MW=7.8) earthquake ruptured the downdip portion of the Main Himalayan Thrust. Afterslip following this event provides valuable insights into the frictional properties on the thrust interface, yet its amplitude and distribution remain ...
