Shallow coseismic slip and downdip afterslip associated with the 2022 MW6.7 Menyuan (China) earthquake

Geodesy and Geodynamics
Investigating the spatial distribution of coseismic rupture, postseismic afterslip, and their interactions is essential for understanding the heterogeneous frictional characteristics of faults, and seismic hazard assessments.

Cascading Rupture of a Conjugate Oblique Faulting Rift in the 2025 Dingri Southern Tibetan Plateau Earthquake: A Typical Slow‐to‐Fast Process

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The 2025 Mw7.1 Dingri earthquake is the largest normal‐faulting event in southern Tibetan plateau recorded with near‐field observations. By integrating back‐projection imaging, multi‐point‐source inversion, and finite‐fault modeling, we reveal that the rupture propagated at variable speeds in a cascading manner across a complex conjugate fault

Significant afterslip contribution to postseismic deformation in Sado Island following the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake: insights from two dense GNSS observation networks

Earth, Planets and Space
This study investigated postseismic deformation resulting from the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1. Particular focus was placed on the displacement observed in Sado Island, which is located several tens of kilometers east of the eastern end ...

Geodetic Constraints on Fault Kinematics and Dynamics of 2021 Maduo Earthquake: Implications for Fault Friction

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Postseismic afterslip has been inferred to occur on fault barriers surrounding coseismic asperities, which can be explained by velocity‐strengthening friction in barriers and velocity‐weakening friction in asperities. However, afterslip also exhibits spatial overlap with coseismic slip for some events.

Rheological and tectonic implications of eastern Tibet: Insights from early aftershock sequences driven by afterslip following three 2021–2022 moderate-large events

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Early aftershock sequences and afterslip provide key insights into crust rheology and the triggering mechanisms of seismicity sequences. Three recent moderate-large strike-slip earthquakes in eastern Tibet, including the 2021 Yangbi Mw 6.1, the 2021 ...

Reinterpreting the Recurrence Time–Moment Relation of Global Repeating Earthquakes: A Scattered Data Cloud Bounded by Crack‐Model Physics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Repeating earthquakes are recurrent ruptures of the same asperity along creeping faults, and their recurrence time–moment (Tr ${T}_{r}$–M0 ${M}_{0}$) scaling provides key constraints on earthquake physics and fault creep. However, previous studies have reported Tr∝M01/6 ${T}_{r}\,\propto \,{M}_{0}^{1/6}$, seemingly inconsistent with the ...

Temporarily Increased Recurrence Rate of Shallow Slow Slip Events Driven by Significant Afterslip Following the 2012 Mw 7.6 Nicoya Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters
Slow slip events (SSEs) release tectonic strain without causing sudden ground shaking. SSEs have been observed at many subduction zones, some dynamically triggered by stress changes due to the passage of seismic waves.

Scaling of early afterslip velocity and possible detection of tsunami-induced subsidence by GPS measurements immediately after the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake [PDF]

, 2013
We explore the use of on-land GPS observations to detect deformation due to tsunami propagation near source regions of large interplate earthquakes. Here, we focus on the Mw 9 Tohoku-oki earthquake, which occurred around 14:46 (JST) on 2011 March 11.

Afterslip From the 2020 M 6.5 Monte Cristo Range, Nevada Earthquake

, 2023
We investigate postseismic deformation following the 15 May 2020, Mw 6.5 Monte Cristo Range, Nevada earthquake using geodetic and aftershock data. Seven months of Sentinel 1-A/B SAR images were used to model deformation as afterslip on two subparallel ...

Early Post-Seismic Deformation Revealed After the Wushi (China) Earthquake (Mw = 7.1) Occurred on 22 January 2024

Remote Sensing
The Mw = 7.1 Wushi earthquake is the second-largest digitally recorded earthquake in the Tianshan seismic zone and provides an opportunity to explore the structural characteristics of the Tianshan seismic zone.
