Terra Nova, 2013 Abstract This article focuses on the Montello thrust system in the Eastern Southern Alps as a potential seismogenic source. This system is of particular interest because of its lack of historical seismicity. Nevertheless, the system is undergoing active deformation.

Interseismic and long-term deformation of southeastern Sicily driven by the Ionian slab roll-back [PDF]
Solid EarthAbstract. New satellite geodetic data challenge our knowledge of the deformation mechanisms driving the active deformations affecting Southeastern Sicily. The PS-InSAR measurements evidence a generalized subsidence and an eastward tilting of the Hyblean Plateau combined with a local relative uplift along its eastern coast. In order to find a mechanical

Interseismic crustal deformation in and around the Atotsugawa fault system, central Japan, detected by InSAR and GNSS [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 The Atotsugawa fault system is one of the best-known active faults in Japan. However, revealing the interseismic velocity field in and around the Atotsugawa fault system with high spatial resolution is challenging because of dense vegetation, steep ...

Dislocation models of interseismic deformation in the western United States [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2008 The GPS‐derived crustal velocity field of the western United States is used to construct dislocation models in a viscoelastic medium of interseismic crustal deformation. The interseismic velocity field is constrained by 1052 GPS velocity vectors spanning the ∼2500‐km‐long plate boundary zone adjacent to the San Andreas fault and Cascadia subduction ...

An elastic plate model for interseismic deformation in subduction zones [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2010 Geodetic observations of interseismic surface deformation in the vicinity of subduction zones are frequently interpreted using simple kinematic elastic dislocation models (EDM). In this theoretical study, we develop a kinematic EDM that simulates plate subduction over the interseismic period (the elastic subducting plate model (ESPM)) having only 2 ...

Coupling fraction model to interpret the motion of non-fully coupled strike-slip faults
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Despite coupling fractions being extensively used in the interseismic period, the coexistence of locking and creeping mechanisms and the correlation between the coupling fraction and locking depth remain poorly understood because of the lack of a ...

Viscoelastic-cycle model of interseismic deformation in the northwestern United States [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2010 SUMMARY We apply a viscoelastic cycle model to a compilation of GPS velocity fields in order to address the kinematics of deformation in the northwestern United States. A viscoelastic cycle model accounts for time-dependent deformation following large crustal earthquakes and is an alternative to block models for explaining the interseismic crustal ...

Interseismic deformation and geologic evolution of the Death Valley Fault Zone [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2012 The Death Valley Fault Zone (DVFZ), located in southeastern California, is an active fault system with an evolved pull‐apart basin that has been deforming over the past 6 Myr. We present a study of the interseismic motion and long‐term stress accumulation rates to better understand the nature of both past and present‐day loading conditions of the DVFZ.
