Deformation Features of Coseismic Surface Rupture
The term coseismic surface rupture is defined as a surface fracture produced by a current or large historic earthquake. The term is interchangeable with surface earthquake fault and earthquake fault in Japan, which is enhanced for the topographic morphology and geometry of surface fractures formed during large earthquakes [Research Group for Active ...

Coseismic deformation due to the 2007 Chuetsu-oki earthquake (Mw= 6.8) [PDF]
AbstractGlobal Positioning System (GPS) and Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) detected substantial ground deformation due to the 2007 Chuetsu-oki earthquake (Mw= 6.8); GPS observation detected a horizontal deformation of up to about 170 mm and subsidence of up to 30 mm, and InSAR detected up to 290 mm of line-of-sight changes.

Abstract Seismic ruptures that extend over kilometers along faults originate in shear zones only millimeters thick. We present a hybrid numerical framework coupling the spectral boundary integral method (SBIM) for the poroelastic bulk with a staggered‐grid finite difference method (FDM) for the fault gouge.

Pseudotachylytes and cataclasites record transient seismic slips within the brittle–ductile transition zone and ductile flow layers. Investigating the mechanisms of pseudotachylytes can provide the most direct geological evidence for revealing seismic ...

Geodetic displacements and aftershocks following the 2001 M_w = 8.4 Peru earthquake: Implications for the mechanics of the earthquake cycle along subduction zones [PDF]
We analyzed aftershocks and postseismic deformation recorded by the continuous GPS station AREQ following the M_w = 8.4, 23 June 2001 Peru earthquake. This station moved by 50 cm trenchward, in a N235°E direction during the coseismic phase, and continued

Abstract The 2019–2026 southwestern Puerto Rico earthquake sequence has the characteristics of an earthquake swarm with over 9,000 events of Mw 2.5 or greater over an area of 1,500 km2, and the largest event is an Mw 6.4 on 7 January 2020. Previous studies have proposed two structural interpretations: (a) an E‐striking, N‐dipping normal fault hosting ...

A hybrid spectral and finite element method for coseismic and postseismic deformation
Abstract We investigate the elastic and viscoelastic responses of the Earth to a sudden slip along a fault. Firstly, equations describing the Earth’s infinitesimal deformations for elastic and viscoelastic rheological models are introduced within the weak formulation and the theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions are demonstrated.

Dynamic Earthquake Source Inversion With Generative Adversarial Network Priors
Abstract Dynamic earthquake source inversion consists of inferring frictional parameters and initial stress on a fault consistent with recorded seismological and geodetic data and with dynamic earthquake rupture models. In a Bayesian inversion approach, the nonlinear relationship between model parameters and data requires a computationally demanding ...
