Monitoring fault zone environments with correlations of earthquake waveforms
S U M M A R Y We develop a new technique for monitoring temporal changes in fault zone environments based on cross-correlation of earthquake waveforms recorded by pairs of stations. The method is applied to waveforms of∼10 000 earthquakes observed during 100 d around the 1999M 7.1 Duzce mainshock by a station located in the core damage zone of the North Anatolian Fault and a nearby station. To ...
متن کاملAftershock Area Expansion and Mechanical Heterogeneity of Fault Zone within Subduction Zones
We investigate global variations in the pattern of aftershock area expansion associated with large subduction zone earthquakes. The expansion of aftershock areas with time is relatively small in the subduction zones of Alaska, the Aleutians, Mexico, and parts of the Kuriles and South America. These subduction zones are interpreted to be characterized by moderate to strong interplate coupling. I...
متن کاملFault - perpendicular aftershock clusters following the 2003 Mw = 5 . 0
[1] To explore aftershock-triggering mechanisms for the 2003 Big Bear, California earthquake sequence, we determined differential travel-times and applied the double-difference technique to relocate these events, which formed three clusters. The main cluster coincides with the 3 km long northwest striking sub-vertical mainshock fault. The other two sub-vertical clusters, located at opposite end...
متن کاملWeakness of the San Andreas Fault revealed by samples from the active fault zone
Understanding the strength and slip behaviour of tectonic faults is a central problem in earthquake physics and seismichazard assessment1–8. Many major faults, including the San Andreas Fault, are weak compared with the surrounding rock, but the cause of this weakness is debated1. Previous measurements of the frictional strength of San Andreas Fault rocks are too high to explain the observed we...
متن کاملLow-velocity damaged structure of the San Andreas Fault at Parkfield from fault zone trapped waves
[1] We used dense linear seismic arrays across and along the San Andreas Fault (SAF) at Parkfield, California to record fault zone trapped waves generated by explosions and microearthquakes in 2002. Prominent trapped waves appeared at stations close to the SAF main fault trace while some energy was trapped in the north strand at the array site. Observations and 3-D finitedifference simulations ...
