AbstractWe developed a flexible finite-fault inversion method for teleseismic P waveforms to obtain a detailed rupture process of a complex multiple-fault earthquake. We estimate the distribution of potency-rate density tensors on an assumed model plane to clarify rupture evolution processes, including variations of fault geometry. We applied our method to the 23 January 2018 Gulf of Alaska earthquake by representing slip on a projected horizontal model plane at a depth of 33.6 km to fit the distribution of aftershocks occurring within one week of the mainshock. The obtained source model, which successfully explained the complex teleseismic P waveforms, shows that the 2018 earthquake ruptured a conjugate system of N-S and E-W faults. The spatiotemporal rupture evolution indicates irregular rupture behavior involving a multiple-shock sequence, which is likely associated with discontinuities in the fault geometry that originated from E-W sea-floor fracture zones and N-S plate-bending faults.

North Aegean

A strong earthquake (Mw 6.9) on 24 May 2014 ruptured the North Aegean Trough (NAT) in Greece, west of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). In order to provide unbiased constrains of the rupture process and fault geometry of the earthquake, seismological and geodetic data were analyzed independently. First, based on teleseismic long-period P- and SH- waveforms a point-source solution yielded dominantly right-lateral strike-slip faulting mechanism. Furthermore, finite fault inversion of broad-band data revealed the slip history of the earthquake. Second, GPS slip vectors derived from 11 permanent GPS stations uniformly distributed around the meizoseismal area of the earthquake indicated significant horizontal coseismic slip. Inversion of GPS-derived displacements on the basis of Okada model and using the new TOPological INVersion (TOPINV) algorithm permitted to model a vertical strike slip fault, consistent with that derived from seismological data. Obtained results are consistent with the NAT structure and constrain well the fault geometry and the dynamics of the 2014 earthquake. The latter seems to fill a gap in seismicity along the NAT in the last 50 years, but seems not to have a direct relationship with the sequence of recent faulting farther east, along the NAFZ.

Abstract The Mongolia plateau is the farthest intracontinental region of the India–Eurasia collision and is a transition zone between north–south convergence to the south in the Tien Shan and northwest–southeast extension to the north in the Baikal rift. Mongolia has experienced four M 8 earthquakes since 1905, but due to limited observations, the mechanism of these strong earthquakes and regional tectonics are poorly understood. The 11 January 2021 Mw 6.7 Hovsgol, Mongolia, earthquake is the largest event that has occurred in the Hovsgol graben, which is noted for being the northernmost convergence region of the India–Eurasia collision and the youngest extension region of the Baikal rift. In this article, the coseismic displacements are retrieved by space geodesy for the first time in this region, providing good constraints for the deformation pattern. We use a finite-fault inversion of InSAR and teleseismic data, and a backprojection analysis to reveal the rupture kinematics of this event. The geometry of the Hovsgol fault is determined as east-dipping with a dip of 45°. The rupture process is characterized by a northwestward propagation with a moderate average rupture velocity of ∼2.0  km/s and a complex slip pattern composed of two major slip patches with dimensions of 40  km×20  km. The oblique slip, illustrated by predominate extension and significant dextral striking, confirms the right-lateral-striking faulting in the Hovsgol rift, which indicates that the eastwardly north–south convergence across the southwest segment of the Baikal rift has decreased.
