Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2016 On 3 July 2015, a Mw 6.4 earthquake occurred on a blind fault struck Pishan, Xinjiang, China. By combining Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) and other Static Global Positioning System (GPS) sites surrounding Pishan region, it ...

Remote Sensing, 2018 The 2001 Mw7.8 Kokoxili earthquake, which occurred in the north Tibetan Plateau, ruptured ~400 km of the westernmost portion of the Kunlun fault and produced significant time-dependent postseismic deformation over a large area around the rupture zone and

Omori‐like decay of postseismic velocities following continental earthquakes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain the transient, enhanced surface deformation rates following earthquakes. Unfortunately, these different mechanisms can produce very similar surface deformation patterns leading to difficulty in ...

Postseismic deformation induced by brittle rock damage of aftershocks [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2010 Large earthquakes are commonly followed by abundant aftershocks that are densely located around the coseismic rupture zone. Laboratory experiments indicate that “microscopic” brittle rock failures (acoustic emission) are associated collectively with a “macroscopic” damage‐related inelastic relaxation.

Weak upper-mantle base revealed by postseismic deformation of a deep earthquake
Nature, 2023 Mantle viscosity plays a key role in the Earth's internal dynamics and thermal history. Geophysical inferences of the viscosity structure, however, have shown large variability depending on the types of observables used or the assumptions imposed1-3.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Evaluating the transfer of stresses from megathrust earthquakes to adjacent segments is fundamental to assess seismic hazard. Here, we use a 3D forward model as well as GPS and seismic data to investigate the transient deformation and Coulomb Failure ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 We used the 250‐day postseismic displacements derived from Global Positioning System data to explore various postseismic deformation processes of the 14 April 2010 Mw 6.9 Yushu earthquake, including the afterslip of the fault, viscoelastic relaxation in ...

Influence of anelastic surface layers on postseismic thrust fault deformation [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2000 We present the results of a systematic modeling study of postseismic deformation following blind thrust earthquakes. The results include qualitative and quantitative predictions of the surface movement caused by relaxation in viscoelastic near‐surface layers.
