Abstract:Based on elastic dislocation theory, we use principal component analysis-based inversion method (PCAIM) and 531-day data from 16 GPS stations to study the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of fault slip after 2015 MW7.9 Nepal earthquake. The results show that (1) the post-seismic afterslip obeys logarithmic decay patterns; (2) the fault slip is mainly concentrated in the northern part of the mainshock rupture zone, with the maximum slip of 20.6 cm located at 26.7 km depth; (3) the inverted seismic moment is 3.36×1 020 N·m, equivalent to a moment magnitude (MW) of 7.6.
