The 2012 Sumatra great earthquake sequence
recorded (moment magnitudes Mw1⁄48.6 and 8.2). Broadband seismological observations of the Mw1⁄48.6 mainshock indicate a large centroid depth ( 30 km) and remarkable rupture complexity. Detailed study of the surface-wave directivity and moment rate functions clearly indicates the partition of the rupture into at least two distinct subevents. To account for these observations, we developed a pro...
متن کاملEarthquake in a maze: compressional rupture branching during the 2012 M(w) 8.6 Sumatra earthquake.
Seismological observations of the 2012 moment magnitude 8.6 Sumatra earthquake reveal unprecedented complexity of dynamic rupture. The surprisingly large magnitude results from the combination of deep extent, high stress drop, and rupture of multiple faults. Back-projection source imaging indicates that the rupture occurred on distinct planes in an orthogonal conjugate fault system, with relati...
متن کاملNorthridge earthquake damage caused by geologic focusing of seismic waves
Despite being located 21 kilometers from the epicenter of the 1994 Northridge earthquake (magnitude 6.7), the city of Santa Monica experienced anomalously concentrated damage with Mercalli intensity IX, an intensity as large as that experienced in the vicinity of the epicenter. Seismic records from aftershocks suggest that the damage resulted from the focusing of seismic waves by several underg...
متن کاملTime-reversal imaging of seismic sources and application to the great Sumatra earthquake
[1] The increasing power of computers and numerical methods (like spectral element methods) allows continuously improving modelization of the propagation of seismic waves in heterogeneous media and the development of new applications in particular time reversal in the three-dimensional Earth. The concept of time-reversal (hereafter referred to as TR) was previously successfully applied for acou...
متن کاملDiscovering Seismic Interactions after the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake by Co-occurring Cluster Mining
In this study, we extract earthquake co-occurrence patterns for investigating mechanical interactions in the affected areas. To extract seismic patterns, both co-occurrence among seismic events in the event sequence and distances between the hypocenters to find hot spots must be considered. Most previous researches, however, have considered only one of these aspects. In contrast, we utilized co...
