Small interseismic asperities and widespread aseismic creep on the northern Japan subduction interface

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.

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 ...

Interseismic deformation transients and precursory phenomena: Insights from stick-slip experiments with a granular fault zone [PDF]

, 2017
The release of stress in the lithosphere along active faults shows a wide range of behaviors spanning several spatial and temporal scales. It ranges from short-term localized slip via aseismic slip transients to long-term distributed slip along large ...

Inner forearc faults in northern Cascadia do not accommodate elastic strain driven by the megathrust seismic cycle

Seismica
We employ numerical models to explore the connection between subduction zone coupling or megathrust rupture and upper plate faults in the northern Cascadia forearc.

Smart Speed Imaging in Digital Image Correlation: Application to Seismotectonic Scale Modeling

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Analog models of earthquakes and seismic cycles are characterized by strong variations in strain rate: from slow interseismic loading to fast coseismic release of elastic energy.

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.

Inference of Multiple Earthquake-Cycle Relaxation Timescales from Irregular Geodetic Sampling of Interseismic Deformation [PDF]

, 2013
International audienceCharacterizing surface deformation throughout a full earthquake cycle is a challenge due to the lack of high-resolution geodetic observations of duration comparable to that of characteristic earthquake recurrence intervals (250–10 ...

Inelastic deformation accrued over multiple seismic cycles: Insights from an elastic-plastic slider-and-springboard model

Seismica
We study a toy model designed to build physical insight into the problem of slow accumulation of non-recoverable strain in fault blocks over multiple earthquake cycles.

Seafloor geodetic evidence of slip deficit near the southwestern Kuril Trench

Communications Earth & Environment
Understanding near-trench interseismic deformation at subduction zones is crucial for assessing the hazards of giant earthquakes, especially trench-breaking tsunamigenic earthquakes, such as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.
