  1. create commands or notebook so that I can reproduce the Iraq modeling results and plots: data on Xenodo, save_for_modelling.py $MIMTPY_SAMPLES/Darbandikan.txt, modeling commands, commands for final plots. Your gbis control file input files should be in your ~/insarlab/infiles/lvxr on gihub (see my example):
/nethome/famelung/insarlab/infiles[1005] ls
bkv3  famelung	lvxr  sxh733  sxm1611  yzhang1
//login3/nethome/famelung/insarlab/infiles[1006] ll famelung/

  1. refactor save_gbis.py, save_geodmod.py, horzvert.py for a PR to MintPy (so that you reach the next python programming level, careful naming, Codacy, etc). At least for one of the scripts).

  2. take a preliminary decision whether you want to add model options to Mimtpy.

  3. create proper plots or notebooks for InSAR data of big quakes (Tangshan, Kashgar, Haiyuan, Bolnay) (including faults, surface rupture, focal mechanism, seismicity). Data versus model plots. All non-insar data fetched from a server. It should bee such that I can reproduce in Miami.

  4. Write Iraq paper.

Post seismic deformation presentation:

Basic mechanisms

  • Strength profiles (e.g. Burgmann @ Dresen 2008)
  • mechanism of deformation (quartz, what temperatures)
  • rheology (non-linear transients immediately after quake, later newtonian, example Denali 2002, Landers+Hector Mine)
  • Big quakes (Chile, Alaska, Sumatra, Japan): how much post-seismic, where it is occurring?
  • difficulties at subduction zones (effect of dip, trench movement ?)

Subduction earthquakes

  • Crustal deformation following great subduction earthquakes controlled by earthquake size and mantle rheology e.g.: T Sun, K Wang, J He, Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth 123 (6), 5323-5345 Wang Nature, science papers

Continental earthquakes

  • summary of previous studies
  • summary of rheologic structure in different tectonic studies

Earthquake triggering by post-seismic deformation

  • review papers (e.g. AM Freed: EARTHQUAKE TRIGGERING BY STATIC, DYNAMIC, AND POSTSEISMIC STRESS TRANSFER)
  • are there any earthquakes that were potentially triggered by post-seismic deformation?

China:

  • summary of previous studies (e.g. Faqi Diao: Fault behavior and lower crustal rheology inferred from the first seven years of postseismic GPS data after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake)
  • heatflow
  • crustal thickness
  • lower crustal thickness
  • what are the tectonic provinces in China? Can we make a good guess about expected rheology?
  • where would we expect lateral variations of rheology?
