Journal ArticleDOI
Coseismic Deformation from the 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine, California, Earthquake as Inferred from InSAR and GPS Observations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) observations to investigate static deformation due to the 1999 M_w 7.1 Hector Mine earthquake, that occurred in the eastern California shear zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some thoughts on the use of InSAR data to constrain models of surface deformation : noise structure and data downsampling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the actual covariance structure of noise in InSAR data and combine the data-covariance information with the inherent resolution of an assumed source model to develop an efficient algorithm for spatially variable data resampling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localized gravity/topography admittance and correlation spectra on Mars: Implications for regional and global evolution
Patrick J. McGovern,Sean C. Solomon,David E. Smith,Maria T. Zuber,Mark Simons,Mark A. Wieczorek,Roger J. Phillips,Gregory A. Neumann,Oded Aharonson,James W. Head +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the thickness of the Martian elastic lithosphere (T_e) required to support the observed topographic load since the time of loading, and convert T_e to estimates of heat flux and thermal gradient in the lithosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformation due to a pressurized horizontal circular crack in an elastic half-space, with applications to volcano geodesy
TL;DR: In this article, a model of a horizontal circular crack in a semi-infinite elastic solid was proposed and exact expressions for vertical and horizontal displacements of the free surface of a half-space were derived for a special case of a uniformly pressurized crack.
Journal ArticleDOI
A satellite geodetic survey of large-scale deformation of volcanic centres in the central Andes
Matthew E. Pritchard,Mark Simons +1 more
TL;DR: A satellite-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar survey of the remote central Andes volcanic arc reveals the background level of activity of about 900 volcanoes, 50 of which have been classified as potentially active, and finds four centres of broad, roughly axisymmetric surface deformation.
