Coseismic and Postseismic Deformations of the 2023 Turkey Earthquake Doublet
On 6 February 2023, an earthquake doublet of Mw 7.8 and Mw 7.5 occurred in southeastern Turkey and caused surface ruptures over 350 km for the eastern Anatolian fault (EAF) and 150 km for the Surgu fault (SF), respectively. Over 3700 Mw > 3.0 aftershocks

Ship‐Based GNSS Tsunami Detection: Pilot Network Demonstration
Abstract We demonstrate the potential for ship‐based GNSS systems to contribute to tsunami warning. We built a pilot network of 10 ships—8 commercial and 2 research vessels—equipped with a tsunami detection package consisting of a geodetic‐grade GNSS antenna and receiver, and satellite internet communications.

Cascadia Slow Earthquake Behaviors Modulated by Tectonic and Environmental Forcings
Abstract Slow earthquakes, including episodic tremor and slip (ETS), are highly sensitive to small stress perturbations, yet their links to tectonic and non‐tectonic forcings remain unclear. Previous studies suggest that annual hydrological cycle dominates the tremor seasonal behavior in northern Cascadia.

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

The 2010–2011 South Rigan (Baluchestan) earthquake sequence and its implications for distributed deformation and earthquake hazard in southeast Iran [PDF]
We investigate the source processes and tectonic significance of two earthquakes that occurred on 2010 December 20 (Mw 6.5) and 2011 January 27 (Mw 6.2) within a desert region south of the town of Rigan, SE Iran. The two earthquakes, which we refer to as

Abrupt Suppression of Tectonic Tremors Outside the Stress Shadow of Mendocino Earthquakes
Abstract Tectonic tremor is a long‐duration noise‐like seismic signal associated with slow fault motion at major plate boundaries. Due to their remarkable sensitivity to stress perturbations, tremors serve as invaluable probes of the mechanical state and stress conditions deep within fault zones.

Characterizing the spatial correlation of coseismic slip distributions: a data driven Bayesian approach [PDF]
The spatial correlation of coseismic slip is a necessary input for generating stochastic seismic rupture models, which are commonly used in seismic and tsunami hazard assessments.

On August 8, 2017, the Jiuzhaigou Mw 6.5 earthquake occurred in Sichuan province, southwestern China, along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The epicenter is surrounded by the Minjiang, Huya, and Tazang Faults.

AbstractSlow slip phenomena, including earthquake afterslip and discrete slow slip events (SSEs), may have a major effect on megathrust earthquakes in subduction zones; however, the nature of this effect is still incompletely understood. Here we report that in friction experiments using samples from the plate boundary fault zone in the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki ...

Competing Effects of Elastic Heterogeneity and Viscous Flow on Interseismic Coupling at Cascadia
Abstract Interseismic coupling maps are important tools for estimating future earthquake hazard at subduction zones. Often interseismic coupling is estimated from surface velocities using a homogeneous elastic Earth model. However, inversions that incorporate viscoelastic mantle flow or elastic heterogeneity show that each can change the spatial ...
