Abstract
We present a novel finite fault inversion algorithm that combines W-phase finite fault inversion with Image Deconvolution Back-Projection (IDBP) for the determination of coseismic slip models following large earthquakes. This integrated algorithm leverages the strengths of both methods, enabling rapid determination of moment tensor, slip distribution, and centroid location. The application of this integrated algorithm to the analysis of the 2015/04/25 Mw 7.8 Nepal and the 2013/01/05 Mw 7.5 Craig Alaska earthquakes yielded results closely aligned with detailed post-earthquake studies, highlighting the algorithm's accuracy and reliability. By overcoming inherent limitations of individual methods, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the earthquake source process. The algorithm's potential for automated implementation, requiring few parameters, enhances its suitability for near real-time earthquake analysis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth serves as the premier publication for the breadth of solid Earth geophysics including (in alphabetical order): electromagnetic methods; exploration geophysics; geodesy and gravity; geodynamics, rheology, and plate kinematics; geomagnetism and paleomagnetism; hydrogeophysics; Instruments, techniques, and models; solid Earth interactions with the cryosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and climate; marine geology and geophysics; natural and anthropogenic hazards; near surface geophysics; petrology, geochemistry, and mineralogy; planet Earth physics and chemistry; rock mechanics and deformation; seismology; tectonophysics; and volcanology.
JGR: Solid Earth has long distinguished itself as the venue for publication of Research Articles backed solidly by data and as well as presenting theoretical and numerical developments with broad applications. Research Articles published in JGR: Solid Earth have had long-term impacts in their fields.
JGR: Solid Earth provides a venue for special issues and special themes based on conferences, workshops, and community initiatives. JGR: Solid Earth also publishes Commentaries on research and emerging trends in the field; these are commissioned by the editors, and suggestion are welcome.
