{"product_id":"earthquake-cycle-research-with-satellites","title":"Earthquake cycle research with satellites","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe motion of the Earth's tectonic plates creates a gradual accumulation of stress at their boundaries, followed by a rapid release in earthquakes, a process known as the earthquake cycle. Studying this process is important because of the hazards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eearthquakes pose, but presents challenges due to the multi-scale nature of the problem-stresses build up over hundreds to thousands of years, while earthquakes break narrow fault zones in a matter of seconds. In this thesis, we combine a variety\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof techniques to study the earthquake cycle on multiple temporal and spatial scales, including satellite-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to observe the slow deformation of the Earth over wide areas, and high-performance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomputational simulations to model faults during earthquakes. We begin by presenting a method for removing the signal of plate-tectonic motion in large-scale InSAR measurements, allowing for better observation of small ground deformations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anjum Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45787773304879,"sku":"9787393838427","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2855\/6847\/files\/imageloader_bde2be0e-7871-4e3a-a768-bbe3f493b0ac.jpg?v=1786149888","url":"https:\/\/tssbooks.com\/products\/earthquake-cycle-research-with-satellites","provider":"tssbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
