Crustal deformation in extensional regimes: Iceland, Nevada and SW Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
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]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2007
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.

Stress Transfer From Slow Slip Events to Earthquake Swarms as a Cycle in the Southernmost Ryukyu Subduction Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
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.

Mainshock‐Induced Stress Changes Modulate Initial Aftershocks on Complex Branching Faults of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
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 ...

Permanent Hydraulic and Poroelastic Property Changes in a Deep Aquifer Triggered by the Distant Tohoku Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
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 ...

Co- and postseismic deformation patterns and Coulomb stress changes on thrust and normal faults: Insights from finite-element models including pore fluid pressure changes and postseismic viscoelastic relaxation

open access: yes, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2001
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 ...

Postseismic stress diffusion associated with Sumatra earthquake

open access: yes, 2007
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.
