GPS observation in Sichuan-Yunnan and its vicinity before and after the Wenchuan earthquake in a decade

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2021
Based on the horizontal velocity data observed by GPS during 2004–2007, 2007–2009, and 2011–2017 before, during, and after the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan-Yunnan and its vicinity, we analyze evolution features of the tectonic deformation caused by ...

Stick-slip nucleation triggering of Wenchuan earthquake

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2021
The MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12th, 2008 on the steeply reverse fault of the Longmen Shan fault zone, Western China. Catastrophic failure and rupture occurred along the listric sliding surface. Several numerical simulations have been performed to reconfigure the dynamic processes of this strong earthquake.

Application and analysis of debris-flow early warning system in Wenchuan earthquake-affected area [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
The activities of debris flow (DF) in the Wenchuan earthquake-affected area significantly increased after the earthquake on 12 May 2008. The safety of the lives and property of local people is threatened by DFs. A physics-based early warning system (EWS)

Surface creep differences and affecting factor along the Xianshuihe fault zone in response to the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes

Natural Hazards Research
As the southwest and southeast boundaries of the Bayan Har block, the Xianshuihe Fault Zone (XSHFZ) and the Longmenshan Fault Zone (LMSFZ) are likely to be intrinsically related in terms of tectonic activity. Consequently, it is pertinent to consider the
