Ground deformation and source geometry of the 30 October 2016 Mw 6.5 Norcia earthquake (Central Italy) investigated through seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and numerical modelling [PDF]
We investigate the Mw 6.5 Norcia (Central Italy) earthquake by exploiting seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and a numerical modelling approach. In particular, we first retrieve the vertical component (uplift and subsidence) of the displacements ...

Normal fault earthquakes or graviquakes [PDF]
Earthquakes are dissipation of energy throughout elastic waves. Canonically is the elastic energy accumulated during the interseismic period. However, in crustal extensional settings, gravity is the main energy source for hangingwall fault collapsing ...

Submergence and uplift associated with the giant 1833 Sumatran subduction earthquake: Evidence from coral microatolls [PDF]
The giant Sumatran subduction earthquake of 1833 appears as a large emergence event in fossil coral microatolls on the reefs of Sumatra's outer-arc ridge.

Coseismic Tectonic Surface Deformation during the 2010 Maule, Chile, Mw 8.8 Earthquake
Tectonic deformation from the 2010 Maule (Chile) Mw 8.8 earthquake included both uplift and subsidence along about 470 km of the central Chilean coast. In the south, deformation included as much as 3 m of uplift of the Arauco Peninsula, which produced emergent marine platforms and affected harbor infrastructure.

Coseismic Underground Rupture, Geometry, Historical Surface Deformations, and Seismic Potentials of the 28 March 2019 Mw 5.04 Mangya Earthquake Fault [PDF]
AbstractThe 28 March 2019 Mw 5.04 Mangya earthquake damaged eight ongoing drilling boreholes in the oil‐production Yingxiong Ling (YXL) area, southwestern Qaidam of northern Tibet. The borehole damages provide an opportunity to measure directly the coseismic slips, the rupture area, and the seismic moment.

Block Motion Changes in Japan Triggered by the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake [PDF]
Plate motions are governed by equilibrium between basal and edge forces. Great earthquakes may induce differential static stress changes across tectonic plates, enabling a new equilibrium state.

An aseismic slip pulse in northern Chile and along-strike variations in seismogenic behavior [PDF]
We use interferometric synthetic aperture radar, GPS, and seismic observations spanning 5 to 18 years to reveal a detailed kinematic picture of the spatiotemporal evolution of fault slip in a region corresponding to the 30 July 1995 M_w 8.1 subduction ...

Shallow geological structures triggered during the Mw 6.4 Meinong earthquake, southwestern Taiwan
The Meinong earthquake generated up to ~10 cm surface displacement located 10 - 35 km west of the epicenter and monitored by InSAR and GPS. In addition to coseismic deformation related to the deep earthquake source, InSAR revealed three sharp surface ...
