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.

Postseismic deformation and the strength of ductile shear zones [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2014 A good understanding of the rheology and strength of the whole crust is needed to obtain a physics-based earthquake prediction models. However, geodynamics-based and laboratory-based strength estimates disagree. Geodynamics tend to indicate that the actual strength of the plastic crust is less than deduced from laboratory experiments.

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 ...

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 We analyzed daily displacement time series from 34 continuous GPS stations in Nepal and 5 continuous GPS stations in South Tibet, China, and extracted the first 4.8 years of postseismic motion after the 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake.

Remote Sensing, 2022 On 22 July 2020, an Mw 6.3 earthquake occurred in Nima County, central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. We used the synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technique with Sentinel-1 images to retrieve the line of sight (LOS) coseismic deformation ...

A hybrid spectral and finite element method for coseismic and postseismic deformation
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2007 Abstract We investigate the elastic and viscoelastic responses of the Earth to a sudden slip along a fault. Firstly, equations describing the Earth’s infinitesimal deformations for elastic and viscoelastic rheological models are introduced within the weak formulation and the theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions are demonstrated.

GRACE detects coseismic and postseismic deformation from the Sumatra‐Andaman earthquake [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 We show that spherical harmonic (SH) solutions of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) are now of sufficient quality to observe effects of co‐seismic and post‐seismic deformation due to the rupture from the Mw = 9.3 Sumatra‐Andaman earthquake on December 26, 2004, and its companion Nias earthquake (Mw = 8.7) on March 28, 2005.
