COSEISMIC DEFORMATION FIELD AND FAULT SLIP DISTRIBUTION OF THE 2015 CHILE Mw8.3 EARTHQUAKE [PDF]
On September 16, 2015, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck west of Illapel, Chile. We analyzed Sentinel-1A/IW InSAR data on the descending track acquired before and after the Chile Mw8.3 earthquake of 16 September 2015.

Cascadia Slow Earthquake Behaviors Modulated by Tectonic and Environmental Forcings
Abstract Slow earthquakes, including episodic tremor and slip (ETS), are highly sensitive to small stress perturbations, yet their links to tectonic and non‐tectonic forcings remain unclear. Previous studies suggest that annual hydrological cycle dominates the tremor seasonal behavior in northern Cascadia.

Abrupt Suppression of Tectonic Tremors Outside the Stress Shadow of Mendocino Earthquakes
Abstract Tectonic tremor is a long‐duration noise‐like seismic signal associated with slow fault motion at major plate boundaries. Due to their remarkable sensitivity to stress perturbations, tremors serve as invaluable probes of the mechanical state and stress conditions deep within fault zones.

Competing Effects of Elastic Heterogeneity and Viscous Flow on Interseismic Coupling at Cascadia
Abstract Interseismic coupling maps are important tools for estimating future earthquake hazard at subduction zones. Often interseismic coupling is estimated from surface velocities using a homogeneous elastic Earth model. However, inversions that incorporate viscoelastic mantle flow or elastic heterogeneity show that each can change the spatial ...

Afterslip From the 2020 M 6.5 Monte Cristo Range, Nevada Earthquake
We investigate postseismic deformation following the 15 May 2020, Mw 6.5 Monte Cristo Range, Nevada earthquake using geodetic and aftershock data. Seven months of Sentinel 1‐A/B SAR images were used to model deformation as afterslip on two subparallel ...

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity
Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

Postseismic deformation in Chile: Constraints on the asthenospheric viscosity
By means of a spherical Earth model with Maxwell rheology, an analysis of the postseismic deformation field due to the viscoelastic relaxation of the mantle and asthenosphere following the great 1960 Chile earthquake is performed. Due to the exceptional energy release of that earthquake, geomorphological evidences of postseismic deformation are ...

Coseismic and postseismic deformation associated with the 2003 Chengkung, Taiwan, earthquake [PDF]
SUMMARY We use GPS-derived coseismic and postseismic displacements of the 2003 Mw 6.8 Chengkung, Taiwan, earthquake to examine seismogenic behaviour of the southern Longitudinal Valley. We invert for fault slip on the Chihshang fault, a segment of the Longitudinal Valley fault, based on a simplified layered earth model and a listric-shape fault ...

Abstract Only one quarter of the global ocean floor has been directly surveyed; the remaining three quarters are inferred from satellite altimeter‐derived gravity data using techniques developed in the 1990s. These classical methods correlate gravity anomalies with known depths and extrapolate bathymetry in unsounded regions.
