Systematical Stream Offsets Resulting from Large Earthquakes Along the Strike-Slip Kunlun Fault, Northern Tibetan Plateau: Evidence from the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun Earthquake
Field investigations and interpretations of high-resolution remote sensing images reveal geomorphic features of cumulative offsets and deflections of Holocene streams and gullies along the western 450-km segment of the Kunlun fault which triggered the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquake in the northern Tibetan Plateau. The streams and gullies developed on Holocene alluvial fans are sinistrally displa...
متن کاملStress before and after the 2002 Denali fault earthquake
[1] Spatially averaged, absolute deviatoric stress tensors along the faults ruptured during the 2002 Denali fault earthquake, both before and after the event, are derived, using a new method, from estimates of the orientations of the principal stresses and the stress change associated with the earthquake. Stresses are estimated in three regions along the Denali fault, one of which also includes...
متن کاملBayesian inference of plastosphere viscosities near the Kunlun Fault, northern Tibet
[1] Flow of the mid-crust in the Tibetan Plateau may strongly influence the patterns of deformation and topography within this area. This flow requires the lowercrust to have low viscosity and so quantifying this viscosity may be used to test the idea of channel flow. An application of Bayesian methods to geologic and geodetic data from north central Tibet yields lower-crustal viscosities (assu...
متن کاملValidation of the rupture properties of the 2001 Kunlun, China (Ms= 8.1), earthquake from seismological and geological observations
S U M M A R Y We determine the finite-fault slip distribution of the 2001 Kunlun earthquake (M s = 8.1) by inverting teleseismic waveforms, as constrained by geological and remote sensing field observations. The spatial slip distribution along the 400-km-long fault was divided into five segments in accordance with geological observations. Forward modelling of regional surface waves was performe...
متن کاملPost-seismic Crustal Deformation Detection on Coherent Targets: a Case Study in Kunlun Fault after 2001 Kokoxili Earthquake
The 14 November 2000, Ms8.1 Kokoxili earthquake is of huge influence in the world, which ruptured more than 400 km of the western end of the left-lateral Kunlun fault. The Kunlun fault is active and also after the heavy earthquake, it will definitely undergo an adjusting and balancing process. SAR Intereferometry (INSAR) is an effective measure for crustal deformation measurement even for minor...
