Coseismic Slip Model of the 2022 Mw 6.7 Luding (Tibet) Earthquake: Pre‐ and Post‐Earthquake Interactions With Surrounding Major Faults

Abstract The 5 September 2022 Mw 6.7 Luding earthquake occurred on the Moxi segment of highly active Xianshuihe fault in eastern Tibet. Here, we constrain coseismic slip by jointly inverting displacements measured Global Positioning System, seismometer and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar. Along fault, concentrated left‐lateral strike extends ∼30 km along above 10 depth, producing 0.7–1.0 m shallow slip. Clustered aftershocks inversions suggest that secondary conjugate Mozigou may also involve rupture. Southward rupture propagation is likely arrested barrier‐like segments characterized high interseismic coupling (>0.6) reduced shear stress rate (<1 kPa/yr) due to interactions with surrounding large locked asperities. distribution correlated positive Coulomb failure changes , which bring adjacent asperities Anninghe Daliangshan faults ∼0.2 MPa closer failure.
