Assessing distribution and pattern of the earthquake-related deformation caused by large continental normal earthquakes using optical image correlation
Abstract:<p>Earthquakes on normal faults in the continental setting are relatively uncommon. The scarcity of surface-rupturing events underpins an absence of surface displacement measurements. It is a common practice to use surface offset as a proxy to understand the fault structure at depth. Hence, the lack of comprehensive surface data impedes the subsurface reconstruction of seismogenic normal faults and prohibits the thorough assessment of earthquake hazards. To supplement the available surface displa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
