Rupture Process of the 2022 Mw6.6 Menyuan, China, Earthquake from Joint Inversion of Accelerogram Data and InSAR Measurements

Remote Sensing, 2022
We obtained the rupture process and slip distribution of the 2022 Mw6.6 Menyuan earthquake by jointly inverting accelerogram data and InSAR measurements. The near-field InSAR measurements provide good constraints on the shallow slip distributions (6 km).

Strike-slip fault terminations at seismogenic depths : the structure and kinematics of the Glacier Lakes fault, Sierra Nevada United States

, 2008
Structural complexity is common at the terminations of earthquake surface ruptures; similar deformation may therefore be expected at the end zones of earthquake ruptures at depth.

Surface Rupturing Earthquakes of the Greater Caucasus Frontal Thrusts, Azerbaijan

Tectonics
Abstract Here we present the results of the first paleoseismic study of the Kura fold‐thrust belt in Azerbaijan based on field mapping, fault trenching, and Quaternary dating. Convergence at rates of ∼10 mm/yr between the Arabian and Eurasian Plates is largely accommodated by the Kura fold‐thrust belt which ...

Earthquakes of the Nepal Himalaya : Towards a Physical Model of the Seismic Cycle [PDF]

, 2013
Home to hundreds of millions of souls and land of excessiveness, the Himalaya is also the locus of a unique seismicity whose scope and peculiarities still remain to this day somewhat mysterious.

New Observations Disagree With Previous Interpretations of Surface Rupture Along the Himalayan Frontal Thrust During the Great 1934 Bihar‐Nepal Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
Reinvestigation reveals observations that do not support prior claims that the great Mw 8.4 Bihar‐Nepal earthquake produced surface rupture along the Himalayan Frontal Thrust of Nepal.

Investigating an Earthquake Surface Rupture Along the Kumysh Fault (Eastern Tianshan, Central Asia) from High-Resolution Topographic Data

Remote Sensing
As direct geomorphic evidence and records of earthquakes on the surface, coseismic surface ruptures have long been a key focus in earthquake research. However, compared with strike-slip and normal faults, studies on reverse-fault surface ruptures remain ...

Coseismic Displacement and Slip Distribution of the 21 May 2021 Mw 6.1 Earthquake in Yangbi, China Derived From InSAR Observations

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
On 21 May 2021, a Mw 6.1 earthquake struck Yangbi County, Yunnan Province, China. In this study, InSAR data from Sentinel-1 SAR images were processed to image the coseismic deformation fields of the Yangbi earthquake.

Earthquake rupture process recreated from a natural fault surface [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2015
AbstractWhat exactly happens on the rupture surface as an earthquake nucleates, spreads, and stops? We cannot observe this directly, and models depend on assumptions about physical conditions and geometry at depth. We thus measure a natural fault surface and use its 3‐D coordinates to construct a replica at 0.1 m resolution to obviate geometry ...
