InSAR-constrained parallel elastic finite element models for fault coseismic dislocation inversion: a case study of the 2016 MW 5.9 Menyuan earthquake

Frontiers in Earth Science
The study of fault coseismic dislocation distribution is crucial for understanding fault stress release, fault sliding behavior, and surface deformation during seismic events.

Slip distributions on active normal faults measured from LiDAR and field mapping of geomorphic offsets: an example from L'Aquila, Italy, and implications for modelling seismic moment release [PDF]

, 2014
Surface slip distributions for an active normal fault in central Italy have been measured using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), in order to assess the impact of changes in fault orientation and kinematics when modelling subsurface slip distributions ...

Heterogeneous Fault Mechanisms of the 6 October 2008 MW 6.3 Dangxiong (Tibet) Earthquake Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Observations

Remote Sensing, 2016
Most current crustal deformation models do not account for topographic effects, crustal lateral variations, and complex fault geometries. To overcome these limitations, we apply finite element models constrained by interferometric Synthetic Aperture ...

A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

Influences of across-strike heterogeneous viscosity on the earthquake cycle in a three-dimensional strike-slip fault model

Earthquake Research Advances, 2023
Geodetic observations have shown that there exist large differences in the viscosity of the deep lithosphere across many large strike-slip faults. Heterogeneity in lithospheric viscosity structure can influence the efficiency of stress transfer and thus ...

Forecasting Cascading and Compounding Flood Risk From Earthquake‐Induced Ground Deformation

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Large earthquakes can disrupt river systems and produce abrupt, unforeseen changes in flood risk. Forward modelling of earthquake‐related surface deformation and its influence on inundation extent, depth, and frequency enables pre‐emptive assessment of exposure to this compound hazard.

Liquefaction-induced large-scale ground deformation triggered by the 7 January 2025 MS 6.8 Dingri earthquake: characteristics and formation mechanisms

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  In liquefaction-susceptible geological settings, the spatial superimposition of earthquake-induced liquefaction and coseismic fault rupture renders the genetic attribution of surface deformation highly ambiguous, yet systematic field ...

Three‐Dimensional Resistivity Imaging Constrains Crustal Heterogeneity Beneath the 2010 Yushu Ms 7.1 Earthquake Rupture

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract The 2010 Yushu (eastern Tibetan Plateau) Ms 7.1 strike‐slip earthquake ruptured unilaterally toward the southeast but left a hypocentral segment without mapped surface rupture, followed by a two‐stage reorganization of aftershocks. We present a 3‐D electrical resistivity model from 70 quality‐controlled magnetotelluric sites acquired shortly ...

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

, 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
