Diffuse deformation explains the magnitude-dependent coseismic shallow slip deficit
, 2023 Abstract Continental earthquakes produce both localized slip on faults and diffuse deformation in the surrounding medium, up to 1-2 kilometers from the faults. However, the origin of the diffuse deformation and its role in the rupture process are still debated.

Coseismic Rupture and Postseismic Afterslip of the 2020 Nima Mw 6.4 Earthquake
Remote SensingOn 22 July 2020, an Mw 6.4 earthquake occurred in Nima County in the Qiangtang Terrane of the central Tibetan Plateau. This event, caused by normal faulting, remains controversial in terms of its rupture process and causative fault due to the complex ...

Measuring Coseismic Deformation With Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar: A Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 In the past 25 years, space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery has become an increasingly available data source for the study of crustal deformation associated with moderate to large earthquakes (M > 4.0). Coseismic surface deformation can be measured with several well-established techniques, the applicability of which depends on the ground ...

Global coseismic deformations, GNSS time series analysis, and earthquake scaling laws [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2014 AbstractWe investigate how two decades of coseismic deformations affect time series of GPS station coordinates (Global Navigation Satellite System) and what constraints geodetic observations give on earthquake scaling laws. We developed a simple but rapid model for coseismic deformations, assuming different earthquake scaling relations, that we ...

Shallow Creep in the Leaky Stress Shadow of Locked Zones of Subduction Megathrust
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract In some subduction zones such as Nankai, creeping of the shallow part of the megathrust in the stress shadow of deeper locked zones is detected by seafloor geodetic measurements and/or reflected by slow earthquakes (SEQs). Here we explain that shallow creep occurs in the stress shadow for two reasons: (a) prolonged afterslip and (b) a leaky ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Recent megathrust earthquakes preceded by slow slip events highlight static stress transfer as a key triggering mechanism. However, there are limited insights into the interplay between static stress transfer and elevated fluid pressure before earthquake triggering.

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 The 2016 moment magnitude (Mw) 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake demonstrated that multiple fault segments can undergo rupture during a single seismic event. Here, we employ Global Positioning System (GPS) observations and geodetic modeling methods to create ...

Quantifying offshore fore-arc deformation and splay-fault slip using drowned Pleistocene shorelines, Arauco Bay, Chile [PDF]
, 2017 Indexación: Web of Science; Scopus.Most of the deformation associated with the seismic cycle in subduction zones occurs offshore and has been therefore difficult to quantify with direct observations at millennial timescales.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Large earthquakes can activate complex aftershock fault networks. In such systems, what controls the spatiotemporal evolution of early aftershocks remains a critical yet unresolved problem. Here, using the 2019 M 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake as an example, we partition the first 10 days of aftershocks onto 15 branching faults activated by the ...
