Focal mechanism of the 2011 Mw7.1 earthquake in eastern Turkey from InSAR observation

Focal mechanism of the 2011 Mw7.1 earthquake in eastern Turkey from InSAR observation

We used two Envisat images from ESA to reveal the co-seismic deformation field caused by the Mw7. 1 earthquake in eastern Turkey on Oct. 23, 2011, and a linear elastic dislocation model in half space to estimate the corresponding fault geometry, location, and displacement. The result indicates that...
