Co- and Post-seismic Deformation Mechanisms of the 2020 Mw6.0 Jiashi Earthquake in Xinjiang (China), Revealed by Sentinel-1 InSAR Observations

The characteristics of post-seismic surface deformation of the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake from InSAR

Using the D-InSAR technology, we have analyzed the Japanese satellite ALOS/PALSAR data after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and obtained four strips of ground deformation spanning about one year, which cover the Yingxiu town, Wenchuan, Shifang, Maoxian county, Beichuan, Pingwu and Qingchuan county in Sichuan Province. Precise interferometric baseline is estimated using ground control points of kn...

Post-seismic motion following the 1997 Manyi (Tibet) earthquake: InSAR observations and modelling

S U M M A R Y On November 8 1997 a M w 7.6 earthquake occurred in the Manyi region of northern Tibet, near the western end of the Kunlun Fault. Over 7 m of left-lateral slip occurred on a 200-kmlong fault. Here we use InSAR observations of post-seismic surface deformation following the Manyi earthquake to investigate possible causal mechanisms. Time-series of deformation are constructed from 26...

Geothermal Step-over Revealed by Sentinel-1 InSAR

A rheological model of post - seismic deformation for the 2001 Kunlun , China earthquake , Mw 7 . 8

The Mw7.8 Kunlun earthquake of 14 November, 2001, in the northern Tibetan Plateau of China, was the largest event in the Chinese continental area in the latest 50 years. In this paper, layered visco-elastic models are calculated using the PSGRN/ PSCMP code, and the results are fi tted to the observed post-seismic deformation. We show that a model of a surface anelastic layer of 10km thickness o...
