Gravity field changes reveal deep mass transfer before and after the 2013 Lushan earthquake

Abstract The 2013 M S 7.0 Lushan earthquake, Sichuan, China, occurred on a blind thrust fault in the southern Longmenshan fault belt. The terrestrial hybrid repeated gravity observation enables us to investigate the redistribution of both surface and deep mass. Here, we find a transient increase in...
