Kinematic Inversion of Physically Plausible Earthquake Source Models Obtained from Dynamic Rupture Simulations
One approach to investigate earthquake source processes is to produce kinematic source models from inversion of seismic records and geodetic data. The setup of the inversion requires a variety of assumptions and constraints to restrict the range of possible models. Here, we evaluate to what extent physically plausible earthquake scenarios are reliably restituted in spite of these restrictions. ...
متن کاملKinematic earthquake rupture inversion in the frequency domain
S U M M A R Y We develop a frequency-based approach to earthquake slip inversion that requires no prior information on the rupture velocity or slip-rate functions. Because the inversion is linear and is performed separately at each frequency, it is computationally efficient and suited to imaging the finest resolvable spatial details of rupture. We demonstrate the approach on synthetic seismogra...
متن کاملTHE SFBR EARTHQUAKE SOURCE MODEL: MAGNITUDES AND LONG-TERM RATES Introduction: Calculating Rupture Source Rates in a Complex Model
The tectonically complex San Francisco Bay Region (SFBR) contains both known and unidentified faults that produce a broad range of earthquake sizes at different rates of occurrence. In this chapter we use fault zone information developed in the previous chapter to construct an earthquake source model that describes long-term rates of earthquake production in the SFBR. Specifically, this SFBR ea...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for earthquake source parameters
S U M M A R Y We develop a method to obtain confidence intervals of earthquake source parameters, such as stress drop, seismic moment and corner frequency, from single station measurements. We use the idea of jackknife variance combined with a multitaper spectrum estimation to obtain the confidence regions. The approximately independent spectral estimates provide an ideal case to perform jackkn...
متن کاملLocal Tsunamis and Earthquake Source Parameters
A persistent problem in estimating the severity of local tsunamis generated by earthquakes is explaining the great event-to-event variability of tsunami run-up heights relative to the magnitude of the earthquake. Undoubtedly, there is always variability in run-up that is dependent on local bathymetry. However, many earthquakes in recent years have produced unexpectedly high local run-up heights...
