Fig. 2From: The Mw 7.9, 12 May 2008 Sichuan earthquake rupture measured by sub-pixel correlation of ALOS PALSAR amplitude imagesOffsets in the range direction. Our interpretation of the rupture is plotted in white. Dark dashed lines represent possible rupture segments not yet observed in the field. The ∼10 km rupture segment striking NW-SE (perpendicular to BF and GF ruptures) is presented in bold black (here and in Fig. 3). The inset represents the average location of profiles used in the stack to retrieve the offset plots in Fig. 4. See the inset of Fig. 3 for the satellite acquisition geometry.Back to article page
