Rapid postseismic transients in subduction zones from continuous GPS [PDF]
Continuous GPS time series from three of four recently measured, large subduction earthquakes document triggered rapid postseismic fault creep, representing an additional moment release upward of 25% over the weeks following their main shocks.

The role of rheological heterogeneities in postseismic deformation
2022<p>Advances in modelling and access to InSAR and GNSS observations have highlighted the role that rheological heterogeneities play in postseismic deformation. Here we discuss three recent studies (Muto et al. 2019, Sambuddha et al. 2022, and Takada et al.

Postseismic Deformation Monitoring With the COSMO/SKYMED Constellation
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2011COSMO/SKYMED is currently the unique constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors operative, which is also for civilian use. On April 6, 2009, an Mw 6.3 earthquake struck the city of I'Aquila in Central Italy. The constellation acquired data stacks over the hit area at an unprecedented temporal rate.

Evidence for postseismic deformation of the lower crust following the 2004 Mw6.0 Parkfield earthquake [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that postseismic relaxation following the 2004 Mw6.0 Parkfield, CA, earthquake is dominated by afterslip. However, we show that some fraction of the afterslip inferred from kinematic inversion to have occurred immediately ...

Imaging topographic growth by long-lived postseismic afterslip at Sefidabeh, east Iran [PDF]
This paper describes observations and models of the postseismic deformation following the 1994 Sefidabeh earthquake sequence in east Iran, which shed light on the nature of the earthquake cycle and the mechanisms of topographic growth in the region ...

Postseismic Mantle Relaxation in the Central Nevada Seismic Belt
Science, 2005Holocene acceleration of deformation and postseismic relaxation are two hypotheses to explain the present-day deformation in the Central Nevada Seismic Belt (CNSB). Discriminating between these two mechanisms is critical for understanding the dynamics and seismic potential of the Basin and Range province.

Interpretation of postseismic deformation with a viscoelastic relaxation model
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1980Aleutian tide gages registered coseismic subsidence of 10–15 cm at three locations during the great earthquakes of 1957 and 1965. For approximately 5–6 years after this initial subsidence the data indicate postseismic uplift of the islands to approximately their initial level.

A plate flexure approximation to postseismic and interseismic deformation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1985The rather large postseismic deformation that is associated with two‐dimensional dip‐slip faulting in the lithosphere is related to the bending of a free plate generated by dip‐slip faulting. In the absence of gravity, asthenosphere relaxation eventually permits the faulted lithosphere to assume the dihedral configuration of a faulted free plate.

Postseismic stress diffusion in Chile and South Peru
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003Abstract By means of a spherical model of global postseismic deformation we perform an analysis of the postseismic stress diffusion process associated with the main seismic events which occurred in Chile and South Peru in the last century. Our aim is to ascertain if the viscoelastic relaxation of the mantle and asthenosphere following the earthquakes,
