A Transient in Surface Motions Dominated by Deep Afterslip Subsequent to a Shallow Supershear Earthquake: The 2018 Mw7.5 Palu Case

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The 2018 Mw7.5 Palu earthquake is a remarkable strike‐slip event due to its nature as a shallow supershear fault rupture across several segments and a destructive tsunami that followed coseismic deformation. GPS offsets in the wake of the 2018 earthquake

A Statewide InSAR Velocity Map for California Produced by a Comprehensive Large Scale Analysis of ARIA Standard Products

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Routine Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) acquisitions from the Sentinel‐1 constellation enable monitoring of slow surface deformation (millimeters to centimeters per year), yet consistent and accessible pathways for producing validated, user‐ready velocity products remain limited.

Seismic‐afterslip characterization of the 2010 MW 8.8 Maule, Chile, earthquake based on moment tensor inversion

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
On February 27th 2010, a MW8.8 earthquake struck the coast of south‐central Chile, rupturing ∼500 km along the subduction interface. Here we estimate the amount of seismically‐released afterslip (SRA) and the mechanisms underlying the distribution of ...

Probing time-dependent afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation following the 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake based on the 3-D finite-element model

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
We analyzed daily displacement time series from 34 continuous GPS stations in Nepal and 5 continuous GPS stations in South Tibet, China, and extracted the first 4.8 years of postseismic motion after the 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake.

Stress-driven relaxation of heterogeneous upper mantle and time-dependent afterslip following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake [PDF]

, 2016
Understanding of postseismic deformation following great subduction zone earthquakes is complicated by the combined effects of viscoelastic relaxation of earthquake-induced stresses in the upper mantle and time-dependent afterslip on the megathrust.

Coseismic Slip and Early Afterslip of the 2024 Hyuganada Earthquake Modulated by a Subducted Seamount

Geophysical Research Letters
Subducted rough topography complicates seismic and aseismic slip behavior. The 2024 M 7.1 Hyuganada earthquake occurred along the megathrust with ridge subduction.

The 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori Megathrust Earthquake in Northeast Japan: Failure of a Structurally and Rheologically Bounded Asperity Beneath a Cold Mantle Wedge

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract To explore mechanisms of rupture segmentation, we invert coseismic GNSS offsets for the 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori, Japan earthquake. Our preferred curved‐fault solution images a compact thrust rupture at 25–50 km depth with peak slip ∼2.5 m near 35 km.

Transient Creep on the Yarlung Zangbo Suture in Southern Tibet Triggered by the 2015 Gorkha (Nepal) Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Large earthquakes often elevate seismicity in surrounding regions, as seen on the Xainza‐Dinggyê rift in southern Tibet after the 2015 MW 7.8 Gorkha (Nepal) earthquake. In contrast, the EW‐trending Yarlung Zangbo suture (YZS), located directly north of this event, exhibits seismic quiescence.

Evolution of Coupled Seismic‐Aseismic Slip During the 2025 Mw 6.8 Sanriku‐Oki, Japan, Megathrust Sequence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 9 November 2025, a Mw 6.8 Sanriku‐Oki earthquake struck a Japan Trench segment with inferred recurrent aseismic slip and Mw ∼7 earthquakes. Using S‐net seafloor data, we examine the preparatory and post‐mainshock evolution of this foreshock–mainshock–aftershock sequence.
