Locating Fully Locked Asperities Along the South America Subduction Megathrust: A New Physical Interseismic Inversion Approach in a Bayesian Framework

Abstract The largest earthquakes in subduction zones occur where significant interseismic slip deficit has accumulated on the plate interface. Slip deficit accumulates most quickly in mechanically locked regions, and these also cause the regions around them to accumulate slip deficit; therefore, lar...
