Three-dimensional models of elastostatic deformation in heterogeneous media, with applications to the Eastern California Shear Zone
S U M M A R Y We present a semi-analytic iterative procedure for evaluating the 3-D deformation due to faults in an arbitrarily heterogeneous elastic half-space. Spatially variable elastic properties are modelled with equivalent body forces and equivalent surface traction in a ‘homogenized’ elastic medium. The displacement field is obtained in the Fourier domain using a semi-analytic Green func...
متن کاملHomogeneous vs heterogeneous subduction zone models Coseismic and postseismic deformation
A finite-element model (FEM) incorporating geologic properties characteristic of a subduction zone is compared with FEMs approximating homogeneous elastic halfspaces (HEHS)s to investigate the effect of heterogeneity on coseismic and postseismic deformation predictions for the 1995 Colima-Jalisco M•o=8.0 earthquake. The FEMs are used to compute a coefficient matrix relating displacements at obs...
متن کاملEarthquake Source Parameters and Fault Kinematics in the Eastern California Shear Zone
Based on waveform data from a profile of aftershocks following the north-south trace of the 28 June 1992 Landers rupture across the Mojave desert, we construct a new velocity model for the Mojave region that features a thin, slow crust. Using this model, we obtain source parameters, including depth and duration, for each of the aftershocks in the profile and, in addition, any significant (M > 3...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Compressional- and Shear-wave Seismic Velocity Models for the Southeast Geysers Geothermal Field, California
Three-dimensional compressionaland shear-wave velocity (“Vp” and “Vs,” respectively) structure is obtained for the SE Geysers geothermal area from microearthquake arrival-time data. The results indicate a region of high Vp and high Vs in the northwest portion of the area studied, and a low value of VpNs at depths corresponding to the upper part of the steam reservoir. The Vp and Vs anomalies ar...
متن کاملRefined kinematics of the Eastern California shear zone from GPS observations, 1993-1998
Global Positioning System (GPS) results from networks spanning the Eastern California shear zone and adjacent Sierra Nevada block, occupied annually between 1993 and 1998, constrain plate margin kinematics. We use an elastic block model to relate GPS station velocities to long-term fault slip rate estimates. The model accounts for elastic strain accumulation on the San Andreas fault, as well as...
