Journal ArticleDOI
The Information Content of Pore Fluid δ18O and [Cl−]
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether pore fluid profiles can constrain ocean δ18O and salinity at other times and, simultaneously, their ability to constrain the LGM ǫ o 2 and o 2, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
LoadDef: A Python-Based Toolkit to Model Elastic Deformation Caused by Surface Mass Loading on Spherically Symmetric Bodies.
TL;DR: A software suite called LoadDef is introduced that provides a collection of modular functions for modeling planetary deformation within a self‐consistent, Python‐based computational framework and is used to predict the solid Earth's elastic response to ocean tidal loading across the western United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile earthquake: Nucleation and rupture propagation controlled by a subducted topographic high
Stephen Hicks,Andreas Rietbrock,Christian Haberland,Isabelle Ryder,Mark Simons,Andrés Tassara +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use data from aftershocks following the Maule earthquake to derive a three-dimensional seismic velocity model of the central Chile forearc at 36°S, and find a high v_p (>70 km/s) and high v/v_s (∼189) anomaly lying along the megathrust at 25 km depth, which coincides with a strong forearc Bouguer gravity signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimates of aseismic slip associated with small earthquakes near San Juan Bautista, CA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the U.S. Geological Survey strainmeter SJT to analyze deformation in the days before and after 1000 1.9 < M < 5 earthquakes near San Juan Bautista, CA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sensitivity of surface mass loading displacement response to perturbations in the elastic structure of the crust and mantle
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed examination of load-induced surface displacements and their sensitivities to systematic perturbations in elastic Earth structure is presented, where sensitivity kernels are derived for individual Love numbers numerically using finite differences and quasi-analytically using calculus of variations.
