Acceleration of Deep Slip Along the Longmenshan Fault Plane Before the 2008 M8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake

Acceleration of Deep Slip Along the Longmenshan Fault Plane Before the 2008 M8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake

The first step toward earthquake forecasting is the identification of variables whose spatio-temporal variation can be connected with pre-seismic crustal deformation. Four periods of campaign Global Positioning System (GPS) observations around the Longmenshan fault zone (LFZ) provide important insig...
