Geodetic Constraints on the Crustal Deformation along the Kunlun Fault and Its Tectonic Implications
Remote Sensing, 2019 This study focuses on the crustal deformation and interseismic fault coupling along the strike-slip Kunlun fault, northern Tibet, whose western segment ruptured in the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The canonical model of fault coupling assumes that slip is partitioned into fixed asperities that display stick‐slip behavior and regions that creep stably.

Seamount Subduction and Megathrust Seismicity: The Interplay Between Geometry and Friction
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Subducting seamounts are recognized as one of the key features influencing megathrust earthquakes. However, whether they trigger or arrest ruptures remains debated.

Heterogeneous Interseismic Coupling Along the Xianshuihe‐Xiaojiang Fault System, Eastern Tibet
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021 AbstractWe use Global Positioning System (GPS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to quantify the interseismic coupling along the Xianshuihe‐Xiaojiang fault system (XXFS). Our results confirm 7–11 mm/a of left‐lateral strike‐slip motion along the XXFS. South of the Shimian County, high interseismic coupling is found down to 20 km‐

Interseismic Coupling‐Based Earthquake and Tsunami Scenarios for the Nankai Trough
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 AbstractTheoretical modeling and investigations of recent subduction zone earthquakes show that geodetic estimates of interseismic coupling and the spatial distribution of coseismic rupture are correlated. However, the utility of contemporary coupling in guiding construction of rupture scenarios has not been evaluated on the world's most hazardous ...

Wedge geometry, frictional properties and interseismic coupling of the Java megathrust
Tectonophysics, 2018 Abstract The mechanical interaction between rocks at fault zones is a key element for understanding how earthquakes nucleate and propagate. Therefore, estimating frictional properties along fault planes allows us to infer the degree of elastic strain accumulation throughout the seismic cycle. The Java subduction zone is an active plate boundary where

Quantification of the interseismic coupling along the Chilean subduction zone
, 2012 The chilean part of the subduction zone between the Nazca and South American plates is an ideal laboratory to understand the seismic and aseismic processes that take place on such a plate boundary. For instance, measuring the elastic deformation of the upper plate during the interseismic loading phase using GPS can help assessing the degree of locking ...
