3D Co-seismic Deformation Field of the Bam Earthquake(Mw6.5) from Ascending and Descending Pass ASAR Radar Interferometry
We processed the ascending and descending pass ASAR radar data that covers the same area using 2-pass D-INSAR technology
and got the co-seismic deformation field in LOS direction of the Bam(Iran) earthquake(Mw6.5)
which happened on Dec 26
2003
with two kinds of imaging geometry.After forward modeling of the co-seismic INSAR results using(Okada’s) elastic model in half-space
we got the geometric parameters of the seismic fault and the north-south component of the deformation field.We unwrapped the interferometric phase and computed its 3D co-seismic deformation field by combining the two kinds of imaging geometry and the north-south component from(Okada’s) model.The 3D deformation field shows typical characteristics of single right-lateral strike-slip fault.The research also shows that integration of ascending and descending pass radar data could provide effective constraints for deformation models.The Bam Co-seismic deformation field could be interpreted by the simplified 1-fault model
therefore the complex 2-fault model is unnecessary.
