Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Crustal deformation in extensional regimes: Iceland, Nevada and SW Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
In 1991 a 23-point, 30 x 25 km, GPS geodetic network was established in the Hengill ridge-ridge-transform triple junction, SW Iceland. The GPS data were processed using the Bernese V3.2 software.

Excess strain in the Echigo plain sedimentary basin, NE Japan: Evidence from coseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Coseismic deformation depends on both the source fault and on the elastic properties of the crust. Large coseismic deformation associated with the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake enabled us to investigate strain anomalies from crustal inhomogeneity ...

Effects of Pore Fluid Properties on Dynamic Slip in Sandstone‐Derived Fault Gouges From the Groningen Gas Reservoir

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The dynamic slip behavior of faults is strongly influenced by the thermal and hydraulic properties of pore fluids, which control thermal pressurization (TP) during seismic slip. While previous experiments showed significant TP‐induced weakening in DI‐water‐saturated Groningen sandstone gouges, in situ fluids are brine or brine–gas mixtures ...

The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning in characterizing active tectonic processes from postseismic slip to the long term growth of normal faults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This thesis investigates two main hypotheses regarding uncertainty in the measurement of paleoseismic offsets used to estimate fault activity and paleoearthquake magnitudes on normal faults: (1) That variations in fault geometry have a significant effect

Interseismic Creep Along the Enriquillo–Plantain Garden Fault, Haiti, Estimated From InSAR

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone (EPGFZ) is a major left‐lateral strike‐slip fault in southern Haiti hosting several recent destructive earthquakes, including the 2021 MW 7.1 Nippes event with primary thrust‐slip. To investigate how strain is accommodated in the vicinity of the 2021 event, we analyzed Sentinel‐1 interferometric ...

The Effect of Hydraulic Fracturing on the 2021 Ms 6.0 Luxian Earthquake as Revealed by Deformation and Numerical Simulations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates whether hydraulic fracturing contributed to the 2021 Ms 6.0 Luxian earthquake in the Sichuan Basin. Time‐series InSAR analysis of multi‐temporal Sentinel‐1 data reveals coseismic deformation associated with the 2021 Luxian earthquake and localized uplift near hydraulic fracturing platforms.

Recent advances of computing coseismic deformations in theory and applications [PDF]

open access: yesEarthquake Science, 2014
This paper reviews the recent advances in computing coseismic deformations, and their contributions to seismology and geodesy. At first, an overview on the history of the dislocation theory development is given in the introduction section. Then, emphasis are given on some new developments through few examples in the following sections, such as the new ...

Improved SAR Amplitude Image Offset Measurements for Deriving Three-Dimensional Coseismic Displacements

open access: yes, 2015
Offsets of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images have played an important role in deriving complete three-dimensional (3-D) surface displacement fields in geoscientific applications. However, offset maps often suffer from multiple outliers and patch-like

Coseismic slip distribution and 3D deformation field simulation of the Menyuan Mw 6.7 earthquake in Qinghai based on InSAR constraint

open access: yes地质科技通报
On January 8, 2022, a Mw 6.7 earthquake stuck Menyuan Hui Autonomous County, Qinghai Province, resulting in extensive surface ruptures and the closure of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway.
