Co - Seismic Displacements of the 1992 Landers Earthquake Sequence Table 1 GPS

چکیده
We present co-seismic displacement vectors derived from Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of 92 stations in southern California. These GPS results are combined with five well-determined GPS displacement vectors from continuously tracking stations of the Permanent GPS Geodetic Array, as well as line-length changes from USGS Geodolite and two-color laser trilateration observations, to determine a self-consistent set of geodetic data for the earthquake. These combined displacements are modeled by an elastic dislocation representation of the primary fault rupture planes. On average, the model residuals are about twice the estimated measurement errors.

I investigate post-seismic deformation due to the 1992 Mw7.3 Landers, southern California, earthquake using the entire catalog of the ERS Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, and GPS measurements made between 1992 and 1999. The stacked interferometric SAR data spanning the time period of seven years between the Landers and the Hector Mine earthquakes reveal a transient post-seismic deformation ...

Co-seismic deformation of the ground can be measured from aerial views taken before and after an earthquake. As a test example we chose the area of the Kickapoo-Landers stepover along the 1992 Landers earthquake zone, using air photos in a scale of 1:40,000 scanned at 0.4 m in resolution. A pair of photos acquired after the earthquake is used to assess the accuracy and evaluate various sources ...

Using Global Positioning System (GPS) data from permanent sites and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) campaign data we have estimated co-seismic displacements and secular background crustal deformation patterns associated with the 21 February 2008 Wells Nevada earthquake. Estimated displacements at nearby permanent GPS sites ELKO (84 km distant) and GOSH (81 km distant) are 1.0±0.2 mm and 1.1±0.3 m...
متن کاملResolving Fine-Scale Heterogeneity of Co-seismic Slip and the Relation to Fault Structure
Fault slip distributions provide important insight into the earthquake process. We analyze high-resolution along-strike co-seismic slip profiles of the 1992 Mw = 7.3 Landers and 1999 Mw = 7.1 Hector Mine earthquakes, finding a spatial correlation between fluctuations of the slip distribution and geometrical fault structure. Using a spectral analysis, we demonstrate that the observed variation o...
