Large Earthquakes and Crustal Deformation Near Taiwan
Source parameters of 15 large (mb -> 6) earthquakes which occurred near Taiwan during the last 25 years are determined by synthetic seismogram analysis of teleseismic P and S waveforms. Source depths range from 13 to 88 km. Three earthquakes of intermediate depth are located within the southernmost limit of the Ryukyu arc and show thrust-type mechanisms with T axes subparallel to a northward di...
متن کاملCrustal deformation study using SAR interferometry Crustal deformation measurements relating to earthquakes and volcanic activity are
We have examined the precision of interferometric SAR measurements of surface deformation of the Earth using 24-cm wavelength data acquired by the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite 1 (JERS 1) spacecraft, over the lzu peninsula, Japan. Radar images acquired from 1993 to 1994 were made into eleven independent interferograms. Apparent water vapor signatures with equivalent path delay up to 16 cm ...
متن کاملCrustal Deformation due to Atmospheric Pressure Loading in New Zealand
We investigate atmospheric pressure loading displacements in New Zealand using global and regional air-pressure data collected over a period of 50 years (1960-2009). The elastic response of the Earth to atmospheric loading is calculated by adopting mass loading Love numbers based on the parameters of the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM). The ocean response to atmospheric loading is comp...
متن کاملDepths of Large Earthquakes Determined From Long-Period Rayleigh Waves
The depths and source mechanisms of nine large shallow earthquakes were determined from long-period (150 to 300 s) Rayleigh waves recorded by the Global Digital Seismograph Network (GDSN) and International Deployment of Accelerometers (IDA) networks. We inverted the data set of complex source spectra for a moment tensor (linear) or a double couple (nonlinear). By solving a least squares problem...
متن کاملCrustal loading near Great Salt Lake, Utah
[1] Two sites of the BARGEN GPS network are located 30 km south of Great Salt Lake (GSL). Lake-level records since mid-1996 indicate seasonal water elevation variations of 0.3 m amplitude superimposed on a roughly ‘‘decadal’’ feature of amplitude 0.6 m. Using an elastic Green’s function and a simplified load geometry for GSL, we calculate that these variations translate into radial crustal load...
