Transient fault creep on the Xidatan (Tibet) fault driven by viscoelastic relaxation following the 2001 Kokoxili earthquake

Abstract: Recent geodetic observations of shallow fault creep have illuminated increasingly complex, time-dependent slip behaviors, including quasi-steady creep and temporary accelerations, termed slow-slip events. We documented two decades of deformation on the Xidatan fault on the Tibetan Plateau measured by radar interferometry during 2003–2010 and 2015–2020 CE, to probe the temporal evolution of shallow creep and illuminate the underlying mechanisms. The geodetic observations reveal an ~80-km-long fault section with… Show more

“…During the 2001 Kokoxili earthquake, the Kunlun Pass fault generated up to 2–4 m of coseismic slip and ∼60‐km‐long surface ruptures (Lasserre et al., 2005), indicating significant interseismic locking. Postseismic stress modeling following the 2001 Kokoxili earthquake indicates complex time‐dependent stress interactions between the Kunlun Pass fault and the Xidatan fault at the triple junction area of the Kunlun fault, partly due to the time‐dependent afterslip on the Kunlun Pass fault (e.g., Zhao et al., 2022b). However, the (potential) interseismic stress interaction between the Kunlun Pass fault and the Kunlun fault is poorly known.…”
