Coseismic Coulomb stress changes caused by the Mw6.9 Yutian earthquake in 2014 and its correlation to the 2008 Mw7.2 Yutian earthquake

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2015
Abstract A three-dimensional viscoelastic finite element model of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and its adjacent regions was used to explore the relationship between the Mw7.2 Yutian earthquake in 2008 and the 2014 Mw6.9 Yutian earthquake. We further analyzed the Coulomb failure stress change caused by the Yutian Mw6.9 earthquake on faults surrounding ...

Thermal anomaly before earthquake and damage assessment using remote sensing data for 2014 Yutian earthquake

Proceedings of SPIE, 2014
Thermal anomaly appears to be a significant precursor of some strong earthquakes. In this study, time series of MODIS Land Surface Temperature (LST) products from 2001 to 2014 are processed and analyzed to locate possible anomalies prior to the Yutian earthquake (12 February 2014, Xinjiang, CHINA). In order to reduce the seasonal or annual effects from

Source characteristics of the Yutian earthquake in 2008 from inversion of the co-seismic deformation field mapped by InSAR

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2011
Abstract On 21 March 2008, an Ms7.3 earthquake occurred at Yutian County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which is in the same year as 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake. These two earthquakes both took place in the Bayar Har block, while Yutian earthquake is located in the west edge and Wenchuan earthquake is in the east.

Normal- and oblique-slip of the 2008 Yutian earthquake: Evidence for eastward block motion, northern Tibetan Plateau

Tectonophysics, 2013
Abstract The 2008 Yutian Mw 7.1 earthquake occurred in a junction area of the Altyn Tagh, Karakax and Kunlun fault systems and becomes a most northerly normal faulting event in the northern Tibetan Plateau. High resolution satellite image interpretation and field investigation indicate that the surface rupture zone produced by the Yutian earthquake ...

The Coseismic Insar Measurements of 2008 Yutian Earthquake and Its Inversion for the Fault Slip

Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2011
AbstractWe have obtained the coseismic deformation along line of sight of the 2008 Yutian earthquake, using PALSAR images and SAR interferometry technique. Based on these InSAR measurements and the constrained least square method, we studied the source parameters of this big normal event. Four schemes of inversion were constructed, with the emphasis on

Detailed mapping of the surface rupture of the 12 February 2014 Yutian Ms7.3 earthquake, Altyn Tagh fault, Xinjiang, China

Science China Earth Sciences, 2020
Large-scale detailed mapping plays a key role in revealing the rupture characteristics and mechanisms of strong earthquakes. Relatively few studies have been performed on the surface ruptures of large earthquakes in central and western Tibet due to its remote nature and high elevation. Based on high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography,

Analysis thermal anomaly around the time of the Yutian M7.3 earthquake of 12 February 2014 using OLR data

Proceedings of SPIE, 2014
Depending on the China Earthquake Network Center (CENC) measurement, the Yutian M7.3 earthquake struck at 5:19 pm on 12 February 2014. It happened in the Altyn Tagh fault zone. The cycle process of the tidal force of the celestial body for the earthquake was calculated firstly in this paper. From the result, we found that the earthquake occurred at the
