Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The M=6.6 13 May 1995 Kozani - Grevena earthquake struck a region of low historical seismic activity which includes a 10-year-old triangulation network in northern Greece. After the earthquake, monuments from this network were occupied with GPS to measure co-seismic displacements. Inversion of the co-seismic displacement field to yield a source mechanism is achieved by use of a hybrid simplex - Monte-Carlo method which requires no a priori constraints. The model focal mechanism agrees well with the global CMT solution and locally observed aftershocks, but implies a significantly higher scalar moment than do seismological or SAR interferometry studies, and has a longer fault length than the model based on SAR interferometry.
