Objective The coseismic surface rupture formed by an earthquake is the most obvious geomorphological evidence of fault activity. Its spatial distribution and deformation characteristics record essential information about seismic ruptures and fault ...

Large magnitude earthquakes produce complex surface deformations, which are typically mapped by field geologists within the months following the mainshock. We present detailed maps of the surface deformation pattern produced by the M.

Homogeneous vs heterogeneous subduction zone models: Coseismic and postseismic deformation [PDF]
A finite-element model (FEM) incorporating geologic properties characteristic of a subduction zone is compared with FEMs approximating homogeneous elastic half-spaces (HEHS)s to investigate the effect of heterogeneity on coseismic and postseismic ...

The 2016 central Apennines earthquake sequence was caused by slip on an extensional faultsystem and resulted in sizable coseismic surface deformation.

Measuring and Modeling Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Lithosphere with Application to the Northern Volcanic Zone, Iceland [PDF]
Viscoelastic relaxation of the stress perturbation caused by an earthquake or diking event can produce measurable ground deformation over 100 km away from the source. We consider the role of viscoelastic relaxation in two different contexts.

Factors influencing the effectiveness of SM-VCE method in solving 3D surface deformation
The recovery of coseismic 3-dimensional (3D) surface deformation field plays a crucial role in studying seismic source characteristics and earthquake hazards. As of now, there are two main types of methods for recovering coseismic 3D surface deformations:

On 6 February 2018 at 23:50 local time, a Mw 6.4 earthquake struck eastern Taiwan. We characterize the instantaneous surface ground motion and the permanent displacement induced by this event from continuous GPS data and SAR images within a short time ...

Coseismic deformation obtained from surface ocean currents in a flat bottom ocean
Abstract Seismic tsunami sources are often inferred by inverting a combination of data from onshore and offshore instruments. However, these measurements are often geographically sparse and far from the source, leading to declining resolutions in some areas, especially near the shallower parts of the rupture.

COSEISMIC DEFORMATION FIELD AND FAULT SLIP DISTRIBUTION OF THE 2015 CHILE Mw8.3 EARTHQUAKE [PDF]
On September 16, 2015, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck west of Illapel, Chile. We analyzed Sentinel-1A/IW InSAR data on the descending track acquired before and after the Chile Mw8.3 earthquake of 16 September 2015.

Measuring Coseismic Deformation With Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar: A Review [PDF]
In the past 25 years, space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery has become an increasingly available data source for the study of crustal deformation associated with moderate to large earthquakes (M > 4.0).
