Sensitivity Analysis for Seafloor Geodetic Constraints on Coseismic Slip and Interseismic Slip-Deficit Distributions

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Estimating the coseismic slip distribution and interseismic slip-deficit distribution play an important role in understanding the mechanism of massive earthquakes and predicting the resulting damage.

Deformation and exhumation in thick continental crusts induced by valley incision of elevated plateaux [PDF]

Solid Earth
Surface processes such as erosion and sedimentation play a critical role in crustal deformation, particularly in actively deforming orogenic belts. While these processes have been extensively studied in large-scale erosive and tectonically active regions,

Complex Crustal Deformation Beneath the Cathaysia Block in South China: Evidence From Receiver Function Analysis

Earth and Space Science, 2023
By harmonically fitting the arrival times of the P‐to‐S converted phases from the Moho, we systematically investigate the crustal anisotropy beneath the Cathaysia Block (CaB) and the surrounding areas in South China for the first time.

Stress transmission along mid-crustal faults highlighted by the 2021 Mw 6.5 San Juan (Argentina) earthquake

Scientific Reports, 2022
Understanding the mechanisms of crustal deformation along convergent margins is critical to identifying seismogenic structures and assessing earthquake hazards for nearby urban centers. In the southern central Andes (28–33 $$^{\circ }$$ ∘ S), differences

Does Large‐Scale Crustal Flow Shape the Eastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau? Insights From Episodic Magmatism of Gongga‐Zheduo Granitic Massif

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The mechanisms driving crustal deformation and uplift of orogenic plateaus are fundamental to continental tectonics. Large‐scale crustal flow has been hypothesized to occur in eastern Tibet, but it remains controversial due to a lack of geologic evidence.

History‐Dependent Volcanic Ground Deformation From Broad‐Spectrum Viscoelastic Rheology Around Magma Reservoirs

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Geodetic timeseries suggest that volcanoes exhibit a wide range of deformation patterns. Viscoelastic deformation around crustal magma storage zones is an expected contributor to such observations, but is challenging to characterize robustly.

Strain Transformation Adjacent to the West Qinling Orogen: Implications for the Growth of the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The West Qinling orogen has played an important role in accommodating the deformation in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau induced by the India-Eurasia convergence.

Detailed crustal deformation in the Ailaoshan Orogenic Belt revealed by receiver functions from a dense array

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Ailaoshan Orogenic Belt (AOB), located at the southeastern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau, is an ideal place for investigating the mechanisms of lateral growth of Tibet.

Active crustal deformation model of the Fen–Wei rift zone, North China: Integration of geologic, geodetic, and stress direction datasets

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Fen–Wei rift zone (FWRZ) of North China is an important zone of active crustal deformation representing a transition from extrusion tectonics related to the Tibetan Plateau to subduction tectonics related to the potential far-field influence of the ...
