The role of space-based observation in understanding and responding to active tectonics and earthquakes

Earthquake prone areas are now routinely monitored by satellites, which can map surface rupture and distribution of slip on faults. Here Elliottet al. review the latest advances in the field of spacebased earthquake observations showing how this is used to understand active tectonic processes.
