Differences with seismology
• Geodesy measures permanent (or at least, long-term) displacements (hours to years).
• Seismic instruments measure short term (seconds) (usually temporary) displacements with respect to time (e.g. velocity, acceleration).

momentMo = SA
Mo = moment = shear modulus (Pa = 1 N/m2 = 10-5 bar)
ratio of shear stress to shear strainVs = sqrt(/)
S = average slipA = fault area
u ~ 3 GPa
Earthquake Potency is simply (S)(A)
Relationship to magnitude:Mw = (2/3)(log10(Mo – 9.1))[Mo in N m]Mw = (2/3)log10(mo – 16.1)[Mo in dyne cm]

Slip and fault size
• Average displacement scales with fault length for earthquakes (e.g. Wells and Coppersmith, 1994)

Measuring geodetic motion
• Ground surveys – Trilateration– Distance measurements– Arrays
• Deformation– Creepmeters– Tiltmeters (borehole, water-tube)– Strain meters
• Space-based– GPS– Radar
• Lidar
![Page 8: Geodesy and earthquakes :~kbolsen/geol600_nhe_Geodesyandearthquakes.ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649cf05503460f949bf9e4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Measurements
• Ideally, displacement in x,y, and z• In practice, usually relative displacement with respect to
one or more components (e.g. tilt)• Not always on all three components
![Page 9: Geodesy and earthquakes :~kbolsen/geol600_nhe_Geodesyandearthquakes.ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649cf05503460f949bf9e4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ground surveys
• Measure angles and/or distance between points (theodolite/EDM)
• Use trigonometry to calculate strain• Used for volcanoes and tectonic strain• Requires pre-existing measurements• Accuracy mm to cm

difficulties
• Does not work everywhere (snow, water, vegetation, extreme terrain)
• Requires previous images• Resolves only one component of deformation.• Covers a time span of data (may include post-seismic
slip)

– Null bins with < 50 hits– Divide by total time– Yields average motion– Much noise cancels– Positive indicate subsidence or
motion away– Standard deviation ~ 0.2 cm
Several areas of deformation– Borrego Springs– Coyote Creek fault
(1968 M6.5)– Superstition Hills fault
(1987 M 6.6)– Vertical or horizontal motion– May retain orbital or layered

Modeling - Okada model
• Analytic expression to calculate displacement from a rectangular fault in an elastic half space.
• Widely used and matches predicted displacement well.• Useful for both forward and inverse models.• Variety of codes available.• Description of fault differs slightly from common seismological
convention but equivalent to focal mechanism/moment tensor.• Need 10 parameters
– Fault length and width– Location (x,y,z) [lower corner]– Dip, slip, and rake– Shear modulus (usually set in code)
• Calculates displacement at any other point in half-space• Use multiple patches to allow for more complicated geometries and
slip distributions.

Example
• Finite faults in an elastic half-space• Focal mechanism from 1987 earthquakes• Slip from creepmeter;• Slip depth of 3 km (depth of shallowest earthquakes)
•Observed signal matches first order model for both Elmore Ranch and Superstition Hills faults even with an extremely simple geometry.•Observed signal consistent with aseismic slip•Not consistent with groundwater alone (both up and down motion)•Between Elmore Ranch and Allegretti farms unclear…..

Earthquake forecasting
• We know tectonic motion (from GPS)• We know strain accumulation on fault• Therefore we should be able to estimate seismic rate
and average moment release on fault(s)
Question: are geodetic rates the same as seismic geologic rates? Not certain, but probably pretty close.
