Three-dimensional viscoelastic interseismic deformation model for the Cascadia subduction zone [PDF]

Earth, Planets and Space, 2014
Contemporary deformation of the Cascadia forearc consists of an elastic interseismic strain build-up as part of the subduction earthquake deformation “cycle” anda secular deformation primarily in the form ofarc-parallel translation and clockwise rotationofforearc blocks.

An Improved Method of Mitigating Orbital Errors in Multiple Synthetic-Aperture-Radar Interferometric Pair Analysis for Interseismic Deformation Measurement: Application to the Tuosuo Lake Segment of the Kunlun Fault

Remote Sensing
It is challenging to precisely measure the slow interseismic crustal-deformation rate from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. The long-wavelength orbital errors, owing to the uncertainties in satellite orbit vectors, commonly exist in SAR ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

Performance of Common Scene Stacking Atmospheric Correction on Nonlinear InSAR Deformation Retrieval

Remote Sensing, 2023
Atmospheric Phase Screen (APS) is a major noise that suppresses the accuracy of InSAR deformation time series products. Several correction methods have been developed to perform APS reduction in the InSAR analysis, in which an algorithm called Common ...

Kinematics and Dynamics of Normal Faults in Southern Tibet: Insights From the 2025 Mw 7.1 Dingri Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Normal faults in southern Tibet have long suffered from limited ground‐based seismic and geodetic observations, constraining our understanding of both interseismic and coseismic processes and their interactions. The 2025 Mw 7.1 Dingri earthquake provides an opportunity to address these gaps.

Aseismic slip and seismogenic coupling in the Marmara Sea: What can we learn from onland geodesy?

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
Ever since the Mw7.4 Izmit earthquake in 1999, evaluation of seismic hazard associated with the last unbroken segments of the North Anatolian fault is capital.

Bayesian Inference of Fault Slip Heterogeneity and Overlap: Application to 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes and Afterslip

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fault slip occurs in both seismic and aseismic styles with spatial variability across scales, yet non‐unique source inference limits our ability to resolve slip complexity and dynamics. Here we evaluate the effect of spatial smoothing regularization in Bayesian frameworks by comparing an unregularized (BUR) approach that samples distributed ...

Shallow geological structures triggered during the Mw 6.4 Meinong earthquake, southwestern Taiwan

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2017
The Meinong earthquake generated up to ~10 cm surface displacement located 10 - 35 km west of the epicenter and monitored by InSAR and GPS. In addition to coseismic deformation related to the deep earthquake source, InSAR revealed three sharp surface ...

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered
