The 2012 Sumatra great earthquake sequence

recorded (moment magnitudes Mw1⁄48.6 and 8.2). Broadband seismological observations of the Mw1⁄48.6 mainshock indicate a large centroid depth ( 30 km) and remarkable rupture complexity. Detailed study of the surface-wave directivity and moment rate functions clearly indicates the partition of the rupture into at least two distinct subevents. To account for these observations, we developed a pro...

Crustal 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. ...
