Studying this process is important because of the hazards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eearthquakes pose, but presents challenges due to the multi-scale nature of the problem-stresses build up over hundreds to thousands of years, while earthquakes break narrow fault zones in a matter of seconds. In this thesis, we combine a variety\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof techniques to study the earthquake cycle on multiple temporal and spatial scales, including satellite-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to observe the slow deformation of the Earth over wide areas, and high-performance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomputational simulations to model faults during earthquakes. We begin by presenting a method for removing the signal of plate-tectonic motion in large-scale InSAR measurements, allowing for better observation of small ground deformations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anjum Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45140365410455,"sku":"9787393838427","price":2004.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9787393838427.webp?v=1768544837","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/earthquake-cycle-research-with-satellites-9787393838427","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
