Constraining Fault Kinematics and India‐Tarim Convergence Partitioning in Southwestern Tibet With Geodetic Block Modeling

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract How the convergent strain between the India Plate and the Tarim basin is partitioned by active faults and off‐fault deformation in southwestern Tibet is poorly understood due to limited knowledge of strain localisation and fault kinematics. In this study, we derive high‐resolution velocity fields for the southwestern Tibetan Plateau using both

Analysis of the coseismic slip behavior for the MW = 9.1 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake from satellite GOCE vertical gravity gradient

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Over the past decade, the three largest and most destructive earthquakes in recent history with associated tsunamis occurred: the Mw = 9.2 Sumatra-Andamam in 2004, then the Mw = 8.8 Maule in 2010, and finally the Mw = 9.1 Tohoku- Oki in 2011.

Modulation of Slow Slip Event Characteristics Throughout the Costa Rica Subduction Zone Earthquake Cycle

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Slow slip events (SSEs) represent an aseismic transient slip mode that repeats quasi‐periodically, near or partially overlapping with the megathrust earthquake zone. However, the process of stress interaction between SSEs and earthquake zones is not clearly understood.

Interseismic Megathrust Coupling at the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

Journal of Geophysical Research - Solid Earth
At the Osa Peninsula in southern Costa Rica, magnitude >7 earthquakes have been generated along the Middle American trench in 1904, 1941, and 1983 following a ∼40‐year recurrence interval, suggesting a rupture may be impending.

Decadal Creep Acceleration on the Northern Japan Trench Driven by Erosion of Heterogeneously Locked Asperities

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Geodetic and seismic observations before the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐oki earthquake indicate decadal‐scale acceleration of aseismic slip along the northern Japan Trench, but the mechanism remains debated. We show that this transient can be explained by creep‐front propagation that progressively erodes heterogeneously locked asperities.

Interseismic strain rate and fault coupling along the central Himalayan seismic gap from new GPS data

Geophysical Journal International
The central Himalayan Seismic Gap (cHSG), which includes the Himachal–Garhwal–Kumaun (HGK) regions of the Indian Himalaya, has been devoid of a great earthquake for more than five centuries.

Interseismic Coupling and Slow Slip Events on the Cascadia Megathrust

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2018
In this study, we model geodetic strain accumulation along the Cascadia subduction zone between 2007.0 and 2017.632 using position time series from 352 continuous GPS stations.

Spatial Correlation of Interseismic Coupling and Coseismic Rupture Extent of the 2011 M\(_W\) = 9.0 Tohoku-oki Earthquake [PDF]

, 2011
Imaging the extent to which the rupture areas of great earthquakes coincide with regions of pre-seismic interplate coupling is central to understanding patterns of strain accumulation and release through the earthquake cycle.

A Simple Discrete Elastic Model Exhibits Both the Statistical Properties and Migration Patterns of Slow Slip

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract More than 20 years after their discovery, the physical mechanisms of slow earthquakes remain enigmatic. Here, we develop a simple quasi‐static elastic model that reproduces both the migration patterns of elastic/frictional models, and the statistical properties of Brownian models.

Kinematic models of interseismic deformation from inversion of GPS and InSAR measurements to estimate fault parameters and coupling degree [PDF]

, 2014
We have used kinematic models in two Italian regions to reproduce surface interseismic velocities obtained from InSAR and GPS measurements. We have considered a Block modeling, BM, approach to evaluate which fault system is actively accommodating the ...
