Some thoughts on the use of InSAR data to constrain models of surface deformation: Noise structure and data downsampling [PDF]
Repeat-pass Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) provides spatially dense maps of surface deformation with potentially tens of millions of data points. Here we estimate the actual covariance structure of noise in InSAR data.

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws
Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

As one of the common techniques for measuring coseismic deformations, optical image correlation techniques are capable of overcoming the drawbacks of inadequate coherence and phase blurring which can occur in radar interferometry, as well as the problem ...

Evidence for postseismic deformation of the lower crust following the 2004 Mw6.0 Parkfield earthquake [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that postseismic relaxation following the 2004 Mw6.0 Parkfield, CA, earthquake is dominated by afterslip. However, we show that some fraction of the afterslip inferred from kinematic inversion to have occurred immediately ...

Fault Kinematic Controls on the Spatio‐Temporal Proximity of the 2023 Mw 7.8‐7.7 Türkiye Earthquakes
Abstract The mechanism governing the spatio‐temporal proximity of the 2023 Mw 7.8‐7.7 Türkiye earthquakes remains enigmatic. Here, we used dense geodetic observations integrated with dual‐fault screw dislocation, Euler‐vector‐constrained block, and strain‐rate models to investigate the interseismic kinematics and pre‐stress state of the East Anatolian ...

Source parameters of the great Sumatran megathrust earthquakes of 1797 and 1833 inferred from coral microatolls [PDF]
Large uplifts and tilts occurred on the Sumatran outer arc islands between 0.5° and 3.3°S during great historical earthquakes in 1797 and 1833, as judged from relative sea level changes recorded by annually banded coral heads.

Coseismic crustal deformation from microseismicity in the Patras area, western Greece [PDF]
SUMMARY The Patras area lies in the western part of central Greece. It is an area characterized by high seismicity and complex neotectonics. Several devastating earthquakes have occurred in the region since 600 BC. Contemporary crustal deformation is examined in this area using microearthquake data recorded over a lengthy period, during 1983–84, by ...

DinSAR coseismic deformation measurements of the Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake (Chile)
Abstract The beginning of radars goes back to the 1930s where its main boost was related to the second world war. Nowadays, the techniques associated with radars are focused around a vast variety of civil, geodetic, and military applications. The development of the synthetic aperture principle, in the 1950s and 1960s, gave birth to a lot

Characteristics of Seismic Energy Rate Functions of Shallow Tremors
Abstract We investigated the energy rate functions of shallow tremors southeast of the Kii Peninsula in the Nankai subduction zone. Unimodal functions (triangle or bell‐shaped) explain the characteristics of small (<104 J) shallow tremors. As the seismic radiated energy increases, the energy rate functions become more complex and are better ...
