| Session Description |
Space-based geodetic techniques including Global Positioning System (GPS), and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) now provide observations of crustal deformation with unprecedented spatial coverage. This increase in observation quantity motivates a reappraisal of standard modeling assumptions. A common approach to modeling different phases of the earthquake cycle relies on the use of simple elastic dislocation modeling. Sufficient constraints on the lithospheric rheology and 3D elastic structures from geodetic and seismic data have provided fundamental insights into the mechanics of fault motions and plate tectonics. Contributions of work from new inversion techniques and numerical modeling ranging from local to regional in scale are invited. |
