Abstract

We use the postseismic geodetic observations following the 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake to jointly explore dynamic frictional properties of the megathrust and the plastic properties of the bulk rocks (the grain size and water distribution) in the lower crust. We present a novel approach to simulate on-fault and off-fault deformation simultaneously using Green's functions for distributed deformation at depth. The postseismic deformation brings new insights into the distribution of brittle and ductile crustal processes beneath Nepal.
