Crustal deformation in extensional regimes: Iceland, Nevada and SW Turkey [PDF]
In 1991 a 23-point, 30 x 25 km, GPS geodetic network was established in the Hengill ridge-ridge-transform triple junction, SW Iceland. The GPS data were processed using the Bernese V3.2 software.

Postseismic relaxation associated with transient creep rheology [PDF]
Perfettini and Avouac (2004) postulated that both the aftershock rate (assumed proportional to the local stressing rate) and the postseismic relaxation are driven by the loading imposed by postseismic slip on the brittle creep fault zone (BCFZ), the downdip extension of the fault zone below the coseismic rupture.

Abstract Recent megathrust earthquakes preceded by slow slip events highlight static stress transfer as a key triggering mechanism. However, there are limited insights into the interplay between static stress transfer and elevated fluid pressure before earthquake triggering.

Spherical versus flat models of coseismic and postseismic deformations
We perform an exhaustive study of coseismic and postseismic surface deformations induced by shear dislocations using flat and spherical Earth models.

Abstract Large earthquakes can activate complex aftershock fault networks. In such systems, what controls the spatiotemporal evolution of early aftershocks remains a critical yet unresolved problem. Here, using the 2019 M 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake as an example, we partition the first 10 days of aftershocks onto 15 branching faults activated by the ...

Abstract While large earthquakes can alter groundwater systems far from the epicenter, their hydromechanical changes remain elusive. We investigate the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku earthquake's impact on a deep well‐aquifer system ∼2,000 km from the epicenter. By employing the groundwater tidal and barometric pressure response methods, we perform tidal response ...

Earthquakes on intra-continental faults do not only cause immediate displacements and damage on the surface, but also induce sudden changes in pore fluid pressure as well as postseismic viscoelastic flow in the lower crust and lithospheric mantle.

Homogeneous vs heterogeneous subduction zone models: Coseismic and postseismic deformation [PDF]
A finite-element model (FEM) incorporating geologic properties characteristic of a subduction zone is compared with FEMs approximating homogeneous elastic half-spaces (HEHS)s to investigate the effect of heterogeneity on coseismic and postseismic ...

Gravity-driven postseismic deformation following the Mw 6.3 2009 L’Aquila (Italy) earthquake
The present work focuses on the postseismic deformation observed in the region of L’Aquila (central Italy) following the Mw 6.3 earthquake that occurred on April 6, 2009.

Postseismic stress diffusion associated with Sumatra earthquake
The giant megathrust occurred on 26th December 2004 off the west coast of northern Sumatra perturbated the stress field configuration over a wide area surrounding the event source.
