Practical implications of the geometrical sensitivity of elastic dislocation models for field geologic surveys
Ravi V. S. Kanda,Mark Simons +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of the surface velocity field predicted by elastic dislocation models both early and late in the seismic cycle, to parameterizations of megathrust interface geometry, effective subducting plate thickness, and gradual transitions in apparent plate coupling was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Stochastic View of the 2020 Elazığ M w 6.8 Earthquake (Turkey)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors infer a stochastic model for the distribution of subsurface fault slip associated with the 2020 Elazig earthquake, which is characterized by two primary patches of fault slip where distribution appears to be controlled by geometrical complexities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geodetic Imaging of Time-Dependent Three-Component Surface Deformation: Application to Tidal-Timescale Ice Flow of Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica
TL;DR: The algorithm extends an earlier single-component framework for time-series analysis to three spatial dimensions using combinations of multitemporal, multigeometry interferometic synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and/or pixel offset (PO) maps and shows that the resulting three-component surface displacements resolve both secular motion and tidal variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plan for living on a restless planet sets NASA's solid Earth agenda
Sean C. Solomon,Victor R. Baker,Jeremy Bloxham,Jeffrey Booth,Andrea Donnellan,Charles Elachi,Diane L. Evans,Eric Rignot,Douglas W. Burbank,Benjamin F. Chao,Alan D. Chave,Alan R. Gillespie,Thomas A. Herring,Raymond Jeanloz,John L. LaBrecque,Bernard Minster,Walter C. Pitman,Mark Simons,Donald L. Turcotte,Mary Lou Zoback +19 more
TL;DR: The Living on a Restless Planet (LOPE) report as discussed by the authors provides a blueprint for answering the most important challenges facing solid Earth science today and over the next two decades and what is the best approach for NASA, in partnership with other agencies, to address those challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probabilistic imaging of tsunamigenic seafloor deformation during the 2011 Tohoku-oki Earthquake
TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic approach to image the spatiotemporal evolution of coseismic seafloor displacement from near-field tsunami observations was developed, where ensembles of nonlinear source models were sampled to focus on near-trench features, incorporating the uncertainty in modeling dispersive tsunami waves in addition to nominal observational errors.
