Abstract

Please select one of the following; *delete as appropriate: *(B) This thesis contains material from [3 number] paper(s) published in the following peer-reviewed journal(s) / from papers accepted at conferences in which I am listed as an author/ under preparation where I am an author.Chapter 2 is submitted as P. Nanjundiah, S.Barbot, and S.Wei. Static source prope1ties of slow and fast earthquakes. Journal of Geophysical Research-Solid Earth. The contributions of the co-authors are as follows:• A/Prof Barbot provided the initial project direction and edited the manuscript drafts.• I prepared the manuscript drafts. The manuscript was revised by A/Prof Shengji Wei.• I co-designed the study with A/Prof Barbot. I also analyzed the data.• The catalogue of slip distribution was collected by Prof Barbot and me.• The processing of slip-distributions and calculations of source parameters were done by me • A/Prof Wei assisted in the collection of joint inversion models and provided guidance in the interpretation of the collected data.• A/Prof Barbot, A/Prof Wei and Mr P.Adamek helped proofread the document to improve the language and construction of the manuscript Chapter 3 is under preparations as P. Nanjundiah, S. Wei, S. Barbot, W. Feng, P. Tapponnier and W. Teng, Source characteristics of the 2015 Mw 7.2 Lake Sarez,Tajikistan, earthquake sequence The contributions of the co-authors are as follows:• A/Prof Barbot suggested the study area • A/Prof Wei and I carried out the joint inversion between geodetic and seismic data for the mainshock and edited the manuscript drafts.• I performed the relative relocation of the aftershocks using Cut-and-Paste technique as well as my own relative relocation code.• The persistent scatter pixel offset tracking images of the near field deformation of the 2015 Mw 7.2 Lake Sarez, Tajikistan earthquake from Sentinel-IA satellite were processed using SAR!mgGeodesy by Dr Wang Teng of the University of Peking.• The Synthetic aperture radar data from Sentinal-1 A satellite for the mainshock was processed by Dr Wanpeng Feng using glnSAR technique to produce the interferograms.• I performed the relative relocation of the aft ershocks using CUT-and-Paste technique as well as my own relative relocation code • Prof P.Tapponnier helped provide insights into the tectonic setting of the Pamir plateau and the role of this eatthquake sequence in the same.
