  1. A Kinematic Fault Network Model for Crustal Deformation (including seismicity of optimal locking depth, shallow surface creep and geological constraints) Yuehua Zeng and ZhengkangShen

  2. Elastic dislocation theory Locked near the surface. Locking Depth Slip at constant rate below transition depth

  3. For a given slip distribution on all the faults, the ground deformation vector at any point is obtained by taking a spatial convolution of the static point source Green's function with the fault slip function: where m is the shear modulus, ni is a unit vector normal to the fault, Duj is the j-th component of slip on the fault, and Gni is the Green's function calculated from receiver to source. x is a vector describing the receiver location and x is a vector describing the corresponding source point where the Green's function is calculated. 1) assuming fault segments slip at certain rates beneath a locking depth 2) locking depths are defined by local seismicity depth distributions 3) slip vector conservation imposed at fault nodes or intersections 4) depth dependent aseismic creeps

  4. GPS only
