Partitioning of Localized and Diffuse Deformation in the Tibetan Plateau from Joint Inversions of Geologic and Geodetic Observations
(Elsevier BV, 2011)
The spatial complexity of continental deformation in the greater Tibetan Plateau region can be defined as the extent to which relative motion of the Indian and Asian plates is partitioned between localized slip on major ...
Estimates of Seismic Potential in the Marmara Sea Region from Block Models of Secular Deformation Constrained by Global Positioning System Measurements
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2002)
We model the geodetically observed secular velocity field in northwestern Turkey with a block model that accounts for recoverable elastic-strain accumulation. The block model allows us to estimate internally consistent ...
Stress Modulation on the San Andreas Fault by Interseismic Fault System Interactions
(Geological Society of America, 2011)
During the interseismic phase of the earthquake cycle, between large earthquakes, stress on faults evolves in response to elastic strain accumulation driven by tectonic plate motions. Because earthquake cycle processes ...
Revisiting the Orogenic Energy Balance in the Western Taiwan Orogen with Weak Faults
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
Orogens at convergent margins must meet the energetic requirements necessary to lift rocks against gravity, allow for frictional sliding along basal detachments and accommodate internal deformation processes. The combination ...
Geodetic Constraints on San Francisco Bay Area Fault Slip Rates and Potential Seismogenic Asperities on the Partially Creeping Hayward Fault
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
The Hayward fault in the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA) is sometimes considered unusual among continental faults for exhibiting significant aseismic creep during the interseismic phase of the seismic cycle while also ...
Edge-Driven Mechanical Microplate Models of Strike-Slip Faulting in the Tibetan Plateau
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
The India-Asia collision zone accommodates the relative motion between India and Eurasia through both shortening and pervasive strike-slip faulting. To gain a mechanical understanding of how fault slip rates are driven ...
Earthquake Cycle Deformation in the Tibetan Plateau with a Weak Mid-Crustal Layer
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
Geodetic observations of interseismic deformation across the Tibetan plateau contain information about both tectonic and earthquake cycle processes. Time-variations in surface velocities between large earthquakes are ...
The Current Distribution of Deformation in the Western Tien Shan from Block Models Constrained by Geodetic Data
(Academy of Sciences of USSR, 2001)
We interpret Global Positioning System measurements of interseismic deformation throughout the western Tien Shan in the context of a block model which accounts for important geologic features (faults) and physical processes ...
Present-Day Kinematics at the India-Asia Collision Zone: COMMENT and REPLY: REPLY
(Geological Society of America, 2007)
Inference of Multiple Earthquake-Cycle Relaxation Timescales from Irregular Geodetic Sampling of Interseismic Deformation
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2013)
Characterizing surface deformation throughout a full earthquake cycle is a challenge due to the lack of high‐resolution geodetic observations of duration comparable to that of characteristic earthquake recurrence intervals ...
