Detailed Spatial Slip Distribution for Short‐Term Slow Slip Events Along the Nankai Subduction Zone, Southwest Japan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
Abstract Many short‐term slow slip events (S‐SSEs) occur at the transition zone along the Nankai subduction zone, southwest Japan. Because crustal deformation due to a single S‐SSE is small, the source fault is often represented using a planar uniform single‐fault slip model, resulting in little constraint on the spatial heterogeneity

A Stochastic source model for the 2015 Mw 7.9 Gorkha, Nepal, Earthquake using Multi-Dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition technique

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The present study aims at developing a new strategy to model the spatial variability of slip on the rupture plane using multi-dimensional ensemble empirical mode decomposition (MEEMD) technique. Here, the earthquake slip distribution is split into finite

Tsunami Induced by the Strike‐Slip Fault of the 2018 Palu Earthquake (Mw = 7.5), Sulawesi Island, Indonesia

Earth and Space Science, 2021
An unusual devastating tsunami occurred on September 28, 2018 after a strike‐slip faulting earthquake in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The induced tsunami struck Palu city with ∼4‐m flow depth.

Stochastic model of heterogeneity in earthquake slip spatial distributions [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2006
SUMMARY Finite-fault source inversions reveal the spatial complexity of earthquake slip or pre-stress distribution over the fault surface. The basic assumption of this study is that a stochastic model can reproduce the variability in amplitude and the long-range correlation of the spatial slip distribution.

Distribution of seismicity across strike‐slip faults in California [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2010
The distribution of seismicity about strike‐slip faults provides measurements of fault roughness and damage zone width. In California, seismicity decays with distance from strike‐slip faults according to a power law ∼(1 + x2/d2)−γ/2. This scaling relation holds out to a fault‐normal distance x of 3–6 km and is compatible with a “rough fault loading ...

Distribution of slip at the northern Sumatran fault system [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2000
We model spatial variations in horizontal displacements of 117 geodetic sites measured during annual surveys in 1989–1996 with the Global Positioning System (GPS) as elastic strain across a locked strike‐slip fault to infer the contemporary slip rate, locking depth, and location of the Sumatran fault (SF) in northern Sumatra (1°S‐3°N). GPS‐derived slip

The 2014 Mw 6.1 Ludian Earthquake: The Application of RADARSAT-2 SAR Interferometry and GPS for this Conjugated Ruptured Event

Remote Sensing, 2019
Although the Zhaotong−Ludian fault is a seismically active zone located in the boundary between the Sichuan−Yunnan block and the South China block, it has not experienced a large earthquake greater than Mw 7 since at least 1700.

Self-similar stochastic slip distributions on a non-planar fault for tsunami scenarios for megathrust earthquakes

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2020
Megathrust earthquakes that occur repeatedly along the plate interface of subduction zones can cause severe damage due to strong ground motion and the destructive tsunamis they can generate.

Revisiting the 2017 Jiuzhaigou (Sichuan, China) Earthquake: Implications for Slip Inversions Based on InSAR Data

Remote Sensing
The 2017 Jiuzhaigou earthquake (Ms = 7.0) struck the eastern Tibetan Plateau and caused extensive concern. However, the reported slip models of this earthquake have distinct discrepancies and cannot provide a good fit for GPS data.
