Role of Intraplate Strike-Slip Earthquakes in Accommodating Convergence Across the Eastern Himalayan Plate Boundary System by Dibyajyoti Chaudhuri, Rupak Banerjee, Ajay Kumar, Shubham Sharma, Supriyo Mitra

“…We combine these mechanisms with previous earthquake source studies, GPS-geodetic-velocity vectors, and GPS-derived strain-rate field, to build a kinematic model. Majority of the earthquakes have strike-slip to oblique-slip (thrust) motion and originate in the middle-to-lower crust. …”

Geodetic data inversion to estimate a strain-rate field by introducing sparse modeling by Yohei Nozue, Yukitoshi Fukahata

“…Next, we apply the proposed method to the GNSS data across the Arima-Takatsuki fault zone, which is one of the most active strike-slip faults in Japan. As a result, the proposed method estimates about $$1.0\times {10}^{-8}$$ 1.0 × 10 - 8 /yr faster strain rates near the fault zone than the L2 regularization method, which corresponds to a 20–30% greater strain-rate concentration. …”
