Postseismic relaxation associated with transient creep rheology [PDF]

Journal 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.

Lithospheric Rheology in Southern California Derived From Novel Observations of Lake Unloading

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Recent Lake Cahuilla has undergone repeated filling and drying cycles over the past millennium, resulting in lithospheric and mantle loading responses. Two critical but less well‐constrained factors influencing these responses are the elastic plate thickness and mantle relaxation time.

Kinematics and Dynamics of Normal Faults in Southern Tibet: Insights From the 2025 Mw 7.1 Dingri Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Normal faults in southern Tibet have long suffered from limited ground‐based seismic and geodetic observations, constraining our understanding of both interseismic and coseismic processes and their interactions. The 2025 Mw 7.1 Dingri earthquake provides an opportunity to address these gaps.

Coseismic and Postseismic Displacements of the 2024 Mw 7.0 Wushi, China, Earthquake Observed from SAR Images

On 23 January 2024, a magnitude (Mw) 7.0 earthquake struck Wushi County (China) in the southwestern Tian Shan orogen. Both Sentinel-1 and Advanced Land Observation Satellite-2 radar images were used to obtain coseismic displacements with interferometry ...

Bayesian Inference of Fault Slip Heterogeneity and Overlap: Application to 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes and Afterslip

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fault slip occurs in both seismic and aseismic styles with spatial variability across scales, yet non‐unique source inference limits our ability to resolve slip complexity and dynamics. Here we evaluate the effect of spatial smoothing regularization in Bayesian frameworks by comparing an unregularized (BUR) approach that samples distributed ...

A Statewide InSAR Velocity Map for California Produced by a Comprehensive Large Scale Analysis of ARIA Standard Products

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Routine Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) acquisitions from the Sentinel‐1 constellation enable monitoring of slow surface deformation (millimeters to centimeters per year), yet consistent and accessible pathways for producing validated, user‐ready velocity products remain limited.

Geometric Moment Modulated and Maximum Entropy Informed Earthquake + Afterslip Sequences

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Synthetic earthquake sequences may be of interest for comparisons with seismicity and afterslip evolution from instrumental observations and deeper time paleoseismic event histories, as well as for forecasting purposes. Here, we describe a constructed method, independent of continuum mechanics, for generating long‐duration earthquake and ...

Bayesian Inference of Complex Stress Evolution in Rate‐and‐State Governed Faults Constrained by Seismicity Rate Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Temporal changes in seismicity rates can be conceptually understood as a response and consequence of stress changes. Dieterich (1994, https://doi.org/10.1029/93JB02581) formalized this relationship using empirically derived rate‐and‐state friction laws, and Heimisson and Segall (2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JB015656) later generalized the

The Overprint of Transient Rheology on Laterally Heterogeneous Viscosity: Influences on Sea‐Level Change Driven by Antarctic Ice Sheet Loss

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Through bedrock deformation, solid Earth dynamics (specifically, glacial isostatic adjustment or GIA) influences ice sheet mass balance, especially for marine‐based ice sheets like the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS). As ice sheets retreat, crustal uplift can help stabilize a marine based ice sheet by reducing the ice exposed at the grounding ...

Coseismic and Postseismic Deformations of the 2023 Turkey Earthquake Doublet

On 6 February 2023, an earthquake doublet of Mw 7.8 and Mw 7.5 occurred in southeastern Turkey and caused surface ruptures over 350 km for the eastern Anatolian fault (EAF) and 150 km for the Surgu fault (SF), respectively. Over 3700 Mw > 3.0 aftershocks
