Abstract
The Kumamoto earthquake is analyzed, mainly on the basis of InSAR data combined with strong earthquake and GNSS data, using a variety of joint InSAR methods and multisource data solution methods and by comprehensively considering the normalization and weighting of multisource data. The three-dimensional (3D) deformation field is determined. The results show that the joint solution with multisource data can improve the accuracy of the 3D solution deformation results to a certain extent. According to the 3D solution results, the maximum east–west deformation caused by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake was approximately 2 m; the manifestations in the north–south direction were mainly characterized by expansion and stretching; the northwestern side subsided vertically, with a maximum subsidence of 2 m; and the southeastern side was uplifted. The horizontal deformation characteristics reveal that the earthquake was dominated by right-lateral strike-slip; the strike was NE–SW oriented, and the Futagawa fault has several normal fault properties. By analyzing the co-seismic 3D deformation field, seismogenic faults can be better understood, which provides a foundation for studying seismic mechanisms.
