Global frequency of oceanic and continental supershear earthquakes

H Bao, L Xu, L Meng, JP Ampuero, L Gao… - Nature Geoscience, 2022 - nature.com
Earthquakes are supershear when their rupture speed is faster than that of the seismic shear
waves produced. These events are rare, but they can be highly destructive owing to the …

Dynamics, interactions and delays of the 2019 Ridgecrest rupture sequence

T Taufiqurrahman, AA Gabriel, D Li, T Ulrich, B Li… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
The observational difficulties and the complexity of earthquake physics have rendered
seismic hazard assessment largely empirical. Despite increasingly high-quality geodetic …

Rupture heterogeneity and directivity effects in back‐projection analysis

B Li, B Wu, H Bao, DD Oglesby, A Ghosh… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The back projection method is a tremendously powerful technique for investigating the time
dependent earthquake source, but its physical interpretation is elusive. We investigate how …

Integrated seismic source model of the 2021 M 7.1 Fukushima earthquake

Y Zhang, H Bao, Y Aoki… - Geophysical Journal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We constructed an integrated rupture model of the 2021 M w 7.1 Fukushima earthquake, an
intraplate earthquake, by resolving both its spatiotemporal distribution of slip-rate and high …

Sources of uncertainties and artefacts in back-projection results

H Zeng, S Wei, W Wu - Geophysical Journal International, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Back-projecting high-frequency (HF) waves is a common procedure for imaging rupture
processes of large earthquakes (ie M w> 7.0). However, obtained back-projection (BP) …

The earth's surface controls the depth‐dependent seismic radiation of megathrust earthquakes

J Yin, MA Denolle - AGU Advances, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Megathrust earthquakes exhibit a ubiquitous seismic radiation style: low‐frequency (LF)
seismic energy is efficiently emitted from the shallowest portion of the fault, whereas high …

Source Imaging With a Multi‐Array Local Back‐Projection and Its Application to the 2019 Mw 6.4 and Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest Earthquakes

Y **e, H Bao, L Meng - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
This study aims to improve the multi‐array local back‐projection (MLBP) approach and to
apply it to the 2019 Mw 6.4 and Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest, California earthquakes to resolve more …

Slip modeling of large earthquakes by joint inversion of W‐phase and back‐projected images

Y Peng, D Wang, N Takeuchi… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Using teleseismic backprojection and InSAR to obtain segmentation information for large earthquakes: a case study of the 2016 Mw 6.6 Muji earthquake

A Steinberg, H Sudhaus, F Krüger - Geophysical Journal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
