Crustal structure and deformation of the SE Tibetan plateau revealed by receiver function data
We analyze a large amount of receiver function data recorded by regional seismic networks of the China Earthquake Administration to estimate crustal structure and deformation beneath the southeast margin of the Tibetan plateau and its surrounding areas. We develop a comprehensive analysis method that facilitates robust extraction of azimuthal seismic anisotropy from receiver function data. The ...
متن کاملCrustal Deformation in Great California Earthquake Cycles
Periodic crustal deformation associated with repeated strike-slip earthquakes is computed for the following model; A depth L (< H) extending downward from the Earth's surface at a transform boundary between uniform elastic lithospheric plates of thickness H is locked between earthquakes. It slips an amount consistent with remote plate velocity Vp• after each lapse of earthquake cycle time Tcy. ...
متن کاملDefmod - Parallel multiphysics finite element code for modeling crustal deformation during the earthquake/rifting cycle
In this article, we present Defmod, an open source, fully unstructured, two or three dimensional, parallel finite element code for modeling crustal deformation over time scales ranging from milliseconds to thousands of years. Unlike existing public domain numerical code(s), Defmod can simulate deformation due to all major processes that make up the earthquake/rifting cycle, in non-homogeneous m...
متن کاملThinning and ow of Tibetan crust constrained by the seismic anisotropy
Intermediate-period Rayleigh and Love waves propagating across Tibet require marked radial anisotropy within the mid-lower crust, consistent with a thinning of it. The anisotropy is largest in the western part of the plateau where the moment tensors of earthquakes indicate active crustal thinning. A preferred orientation of mica crystals resulting from the crustal thinning can account for the o...
متن کاملViscoelastic deformation for a clustered earthquake cycle
[1] The clustering of earthquakes in time on the same fault affects the rate and pattern of interseismic deformation. We develop a simple analytic viscoelastic model of the surface velocity field through a clustered earthquake cycle by superposing the velocities of individual earthquake cycles of constant period but varying phase. Velocity profiles prior to and after an earthquake show a wider ...
