Mechanism and implications of the postseismic deformation following the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo (Tibet) earthquake

Geophysical Journal International
A major earthquake shook the Chinese county of Maduo, located in the Songpan-Ganzi terrane on the Tibetan Plateau, on 21 May 2021. Here, we investigate the postseismic deformation process of this event, with the aim to understand the fault geometry ...

Shallow Creep in the Leaky Stress Shadow of Locked Zones of Subduction Megathrust

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract In some subduction zones such as Nankai, creeping of the shallow part of the megathrust in the stress shadow of deeper locked zones is detected by seafloor geodetic measurements and/or reflected by slow earthquakes (SEQs). Here we explain that shallow creep occurs in the stress shadow for two reasons: (a) prolonged afterslip and (b) a leaky ...

The effects of rheological layering on post-seismic deformation [PDF]

, 2006
We examine the effects of rheological layering on post-seismic deformation using models of an elastic layer over a viscoelastic layer and a viscoelastic half-space. We extend a general linear viscoelastic theory we have previously proposed to models with

Stress Transfer From Slow Slip Events to Earthquake Swarms as a Cycle in the Southernmost Ryukyu Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Recent megathrust earthquakes preceded by slow slip events highlight static stress transfer as a key triggering mechanism. However, there are limited insights into the interplay between static stress transfer and elevated fluid pressure before earthquake triggering.

Application of Singular Spectrum Analysis to InSAR time-series for constraining the postseismic deformation due to moderate magnitude earthquakes: the case of 2019 Mw 6 Mirpur earthquake, NW Himalaya

Geophysical Journal International
Detection and separation of the subtle postseismic deformation signals associated with moderate magnitude earthquakes from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time-series is often challenging.

Coseismic surface deformation from air photos: The Kickapoo step over in the 1992 Landers rupture [PDF]

, 2006
Coseismic deformation of the ground can be measured from aerial views taken before and after an earthquake. We chose the area of the Kickapoo-Landers step over along the 1992 Landers earthquake zone, using air photos (scale 1:40,000) scanned at 0.4 m ...

Mainshock‐Induced Stress Changes Modulate Initial Aftershocks on Complex Branching Faults of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Large earthquakes can activate complex aftershock fault networks. In such systems, what controls the spatiotemporal evolution of early aftershocks remains a critical yet unresolved problem. Here, using the 2019 M 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake as an example, we partition the first 10 days of aftershocks onto 15 branching faults activated by the ...

Geodetic, teleseismic, and strong motion constraints on slip from recent southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes [PDF]

, 2007
We use seismic and geodetic data both jointly and separately to constrain coseismic slip from the 12 November 1996 M_w 7.7 and 23 June 2001 M_w 8.5 southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes, as well as two large aftershocks following the 2001 earthquake ...

Persistent termini of 2004- and 2005-like ruptures of the Sunda megathrust [PDF]

, 2012
To gain insight into the longevity of subduction zone segmentation, we use coral microatolls to examine an 1100-year record of large earthquakes across the boundary of the great 2004 and 2005 Sunda megathrust ruptures.

Permanent Hydraulic and Poroelastic Property Changes in a Deep Aquifer Triggered by the Distant Tohoku Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract While large earthquakes can alter groundwater systems far from the epicenter, their hydromechanical changes remain elusive. We investigate the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku earthquake's impact on a deep well‐aquifer system ∼2,000 km from the epicenter. By employing the groundwater tidal and barometric pressure response methods, we perform tidal response ...
