The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: evidence from seismicity and seismic anisotropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) straddles the continent-ocean boundary in West Africa but exhibits no clear age progression. This renders it difficult to explain by traditional plume/plate motion hypotheses; thus, there remains no consensus on the ...

Monitoring and prediction of InSAR-derived post-seismic hillslope deformation rates

open access: yes, 2023
Strong earthquakes not only induce co-seismic mass wasting but also exacerbates the shear strength of hillslope materials and cause higher landslide susceptibility in the subsequent years following the earthquake. Previous studies have mainly investigated post-seismic landslide activity mainly by using landslide inventories.

Rheological implications of post-seismic deformation following the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes

open access: yes, 2021
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]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2002
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

Detection of plastic strain using GNSS data of pre- and post-seismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
In general, there are three mechanisms causing crustal deformation: elastic, viscous, and plastic deformation. The separation of observed crustal deformation to each component has been a challenging problem.

Land Surface Temperature Variation Following the 2017 Mw 7.3 Iran Earthquake

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
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]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2000
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.

Regional Seismic Wavefield Propagation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Through the examination of local and regional seismic waveform data the crust and upper mantle of southern California are investigated. Using local and regional seismic phases such as Pn, Sn, PL, and surface waves, seismic wave velocities of interesting

The effects of earthquakes with different rupture patterns in the main Himalayan thrust on deformation and stress changes in the Himalayan orogenic belt and Southern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
The relationships between co-seismic slip and surface deformation under different rupture patterns along the Main Himalayan Thrust remain poorly understood.
