- Abstract:
- Measurements of motion of the earth's surface made using Synthetic Aperture Radar interferometry will be used to investigate the earthquake cycle. The earth's response with time subsequent to large earthquakes, analysed in terms of simple visco-elastic models, will provide constraints on the rheological properties of the lower crust and mantle, with important consequences for models of crustal strain accumulation and release. Interseismic movements around major faults in Turkey and Iran will be used to model the distribution of deformation at depth beneath the fault. Estimates of slip rates on faults in Iran made in this way will be used to make fundamental improvements in the crustal velocity field.
