Abstract We explore the 2019 Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake dynamic rupture on the nonplanar fault with homogeneous dynamic parameters using a layered media model. Our model shows that this event produced an average of 1.9 m of right-lateral slip with a maximum slip of ∼4.2  m at the place near the epicenter, and the variation of fault-plane strike angles from the middle to the southeastern segment appears to have behaved as a “stress barrier,” which postponed the rupture. We also compare the synthetics based on our dynamic rupture with the field records and find good agreement with the static Global Positioning System (GPS) coseismic offsets and strong ground motion waveforms. Our work provides a dynamic-rupture interpretation of the Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake.

Abstract We use global positioning system (GPS) data to study the rupture mechanism of the 1994 Northridge earthquake in southern California. We include data from 62 observation sites, of which two (Palos Verdes and Jet Propulsion Lab) are permanent GPS geodetic array (PGGA) sites. We use a grid-search scheme to study the range of single- and dual-plane, uniform and varied slip models consistent with the data. We find that in order to fit the geodetic data with a fault model whose primary fault patch is confined to a plane through the aftershocks, a secondary fault plane is required above the primary fault plane. The moment release of the secondary fault can be as large as 1.9 × 1018 N-m, 14% of the moment release of the primary fault. This result implies significant deformation in the shallow crust associated with the mainshock. Our preferred model has a 14 × 14 array of dislocation patches on a plane through the main aftershock cluster and a 5 × 6 array of patches in the hanging wall west of the epicenter. We estimate the displacements on the patches by linear inversion with a first-order smoothness constraint. The estimated displacements on the main fault for this model are confined to a simple region between depths of 5 and 18 km, in the interior of the modeled fault surface. The mainshock lies at the bottom of the aftershock zone, near which about 1-m slip is shown on our modeled fault surface. The maximum slip on the fault surface is about 2.2 m, located at 34.28° N, 118.55° W, and 12.4 km at depth. The seismic moment release estimate of 1.34 ± 0.15 × 1019 N-m on the main fault at the 95% confidence is consistent with the estimate from strong-motion studies.

Seiring dengan pesatnya kemajuan teknologi saat ini, kebutuhan manusia menjadi lebih beragam, termasuk kebutuhan akan informasi. Tidak hanya media informasinya yang semakin beragam, jenis informasi yang dibutuhkan juga semakin beragam, salah satunya adalah kebutuhan informasi akan posisi kita terhadap lingkungan sekitar. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan itu sebuah sistem pemosisi diciptakan. Sistem pemosisi yang banyak digunakan saat ini cenderung berfokus pada lingkup ruang yang besar (global) padahal, dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) sebuah sistem pemosisi juga diperlukan, seperti di ruang-ruang terbuka umum (taman atau kebun), ataupun dalam sebuah bangunan. Sistem pemosisi lokal yang ada saat ini sering kali membutuhkan infrastruktur yang mahal dalam pembangunannya. Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal Berbasis Android dengan Menggunakan GPS ini adalah sebuah aplikasi yang dibangun untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna akan informasi lokasi dan posisi mereka terhadap lingkungan di sekitarnya dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) dengan memanfaatkan perangkat GPS (Global Positioning System) yang telah tertanam dalam perangkat smartphone Android agar infrastruktur yang dibutuhkan lebih efisien. Dalam implementasinya, Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal ini bertindak sebagai klien dengan dukungan sebuah Database Server yang berfungsi sebagai media penyimpanan data serta sumber referensi informasi yang dapat diakses melalui jaringan internet sehingga tercipta sebuah sistem yang terintegrasi secara global. Kata kunci: aplikasi, informasi, pemosisi, GPS.

This paper examines the distribution of hospitality services in Uyo Urban, Nigeria. GIS method was the primary tool used for data collection. A global positioning system (GPS) Garmin 60 model was used in tracking the location of 102 hospitality services in the study area. One hypothesis was stated and tested using the nearest neighbour analysis. The finding shows evidence of clustering of the various hospitality services. The tested hypothesis further indicated that hospitality services clustered in areas that guarantee a sustainable level of patronage to maximize profit. Thus, the hospitality services clustered in selected streets in the metropolis while limited numbers were found outside the city’s central area.
