An Approximate Method to Simulate Post-Seismic Deformations in a Realistic Earth Model [PDF]
AbstractThe geodetic observations of static deformations, including gravity perturbations and displacement fields due to huge earthquakes, are understood and explained using recent dislocation theories. Due to multiple possible mechanisms for the post-seismic phase of earthquakes, the dominant mechanism may change at different spatiotemporal ranges for

Post-large earthquake seismic activities mediated by aseismic deformation processes [PDF]
Two aseismic deformation processes are commonly invoked to explain the transient geodetic surface displacements that follow a major earthquake: afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation.

Seismic Resilience Assessment of Tehran's Southern Water Transmission Pipeline Using GIS-based Analyses [PDF]
It is well accepted that an urban region's seismic resilience is directly related to the seismic resilience of the local water systems. Pipelines having low earthquake resistance generally include old pipes and those susceptible to corrosion. The seismic

Rheological implications of post-seismic deformation following the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes
Post-seismic deformation following large earthquakes offers insights into the rheology of the lithosphere and upper asthenosphere. The Mojave, in southern California, is one of the best studied regions on Earth, yet key questions, about fault slip rates and rheological heterogeneity, remain unanswered.

Prolonged post‐seismic deformation of the 1960 great Chile earthquake and implications for mantle rheology [PDF]
Contemporary crustal deformation of the southern Andean margin shows an interesting feature: While nearly all coastal GPS sites move landward, consistent with inter‐seismic deformation near a locked subduction fault, sites 300–400 km landward of the rupture region of the Mw9.5 1960 Chile earthquake are moving in the opposite direction. We attribute the

Land Surface Temperature Variation Following the 2017 Mw 7.3 Iran Earthquake
During an earthquake, crustal deformation, fluid flow, and temperature variation are coupled; however, earthquake-related land surface temperature (LST) variations remain unclear. To determine whether post-seismic fluid migration can cause changes in LST,

Influence of lithospheric and mantle stratification on co- and�post-seismic deformation due to finite faults [PDF]
SUMMARY Coseismic and post-seismic deformation in the fully relaxed state following large earthquakes is modelled for finite faults by means of multilayered, viscoelastic, self-gravitating, hydrostatically pre-stressed, spherical earth models based on the preliminary reference earth model (PREM) with a Maxwell rheology.

Co- and post-seismic surface deformation and gravity changes of MS7.0 Lushan, earthquake [PDF]
On April 20, 2013, an earthquake with magnitude 7.0 occurred in the southwest of the Longmenshan fault system in and around Lushan County, Sichuan Province, China. This devastating earthquake killed hundreds of people, injured 10 thousand others, and collapsed countless buildings.
