In this study we compare the effective thickness of the locked zone derived from seismicity with the thickness derived from geodesy to quantitatively measure the similarities and differences in the two approaches along the SAFS (San Andreas Fault System).

Radar interferometry from the ALOS satellite captured the coseismic ground deformation associated with the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile earthquake. The ALOS interferograms reveal a sharp transition in fringe pattern at ∼150 km from the trench axis that is diagnostic ...
