Structural segmentation controlled the 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake rupture in Nepal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a structural cross section and a three-dimensional, geologically informed model of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) that are consistent with seismic observations from the Gorkha earthquake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geodetic Constraints of the 2017 M w 7.3 Sarpol Zahab, Iran Earthquake, and Its Implications on the Structure and Mechanics of the Northwest Zagros Thrust-Fold Belt

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed six coseismic interferograms from several satellites (ALOS-2, Sentinel-1-A, and RADARSAT-2), as well as three-dimensional displacements at six GPS stations to investigate fault structure and slip distribution of the Gorkha earthquake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can the Updip Limit of Frictional Locking on Megathrusts Be Detected Geodetically? Quantifying the Effect of Stress Shadows on Near‐Trench Coupling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the locked, downdip portion of a megathrust creates an updip stress shadow that prevents the shallow portion of the fault from creeping at a significant rate, regardless of its frictional behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Slip Gap of the 2016 Mw 6.6 Muji, Xinjiang, China, Earthquake Inferred from Sentinel‐1 TOPS Interferometry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Sentinel-1A/1B Terrain Observation with Progressive Scans (TOPS) data to map coseismic and postseismic displacements for the 25 November 2016 M w ǫ 6.6 Muji earthquake in southwestern Xinjiang, China.
