Source Model and Seismogenic Environment of the Ms 6.4 Yangbi Earthquake in Yunnan, China—Based on InSAR Observation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
On 21 May 2021, an Ms 6.4 earthquake struck Yangbi County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, which is the largest earthquake to hit this area since 1976.

Distribution of strike‐slip faults on Europa [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2000
Study of four different regions on Europa imaged by the Galileo spacecraft during its first 15 orbits has revealed 117 strike‐slip faults. Europa appears to form preferentially right‐lateral faults in the southern hemisphere and left‐lateral faults in the northern hemisphere.

A New Perspective on Fault Geometry and Slip Distribution of the 2009 Dachaidan Mw 6.3 Earthquake from InSAR Observations

open access: yesSensors, 2015
On 28 August 2009, the northern margin of the Qaidam basin in the Tibet Plateau was ruptured by an Mw 6.3 earthquake. This study utilizes the Envisat ASAR images from descending Track 319 and ascending Track 455 for capturing the coseismic deformation ...

Slip-Related Changes in Plantar Pressure Distribution, and Parameters for Early Detection of Slip Events [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2015
To investigate differences in plantar pressure distribution between a normal gait and unpredictable slip events to predict the initiation of the slipping process.Eleven male participants were enrolled. Subjects walked onto a wooden tile, and two layers of oily vinyl sheet were placed on the expected spot of the 4th step to induce a slip.

Sensitivity Analysis for Seafloor Geodetic Constraints on Coseismic Slip and Interseismic Slip-Deficit Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Estimating the coseismic slip distribution and interseismic slip-deficit distribution play an important role in understanding the mechanism of massive earthquakes and predicting the resulting damage. It is useful to observe the crustal deformation not only in the land area, but also directly above the seismogenic zone.

Self-similar slip distributions on irregular shaped faults [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2018
We propose a strategy to place a self similar slip distribution on a complex fault surface that is represented by an unstructured mesh. This is possible by applying a strategy based on the composite source model where a hierarchical set of asperities, each with its own slip function which is dependent on the distance from the asperity centre.

Part I. Slip Behavior of the San Andreas Fault Through Several Earthquake Cycles Part II. A Structural Interpretation of the Aftershock "Cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Part 1 of this thesis addresses the question of how variable fault slip per event is through time. This question is important, because progress in understanding and forecasting large earthquakes depends critically on precise reconstruction of the ...

Slip distributions on intersecting normal faults

open access: yesJournal of Structural Geology, 1999
Abstract Slip distributions on normal faults often are asymmetric and display multiple local maxima. Numerically computed slip distributions from elastic models indicate that such irregular slip distributions can be caused by mechanical interaction between intersecting faults that produce local perturbations of the stress field resolved on the faults.

Multiplicity of solutions to geophysical inversion reflected by rupture slip distribution of the 2015 Nepal earthquake

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2017
The equivalence of geophysical fields, the finiteness of measurements and the measurement errors make the result of geophysical inversion non-unique. For example, the measurements and inversion method used, the priori rupture model determined and the ...

The 13 November 2016 Kaikoura, New Zealand earthquake: rupture process and seismotectonic implications

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2018
The 13 November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake occurred in the northeastern coastal region of the South Island, New Zealand. The Mw 7.8 mainshock generated a complex pattern of surface ruptures, and was followed within about 12 hours by three moderate shocks ...
