Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) can monitor large-scale small deformation. Because the Sentinel-1 satellite has a stable orbit control and the data coherence in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is good, we utilize data from Sentinel-1 to analyze the slip deformation of the Gyaring Co fault (GCF) in the central Tibetan Plateau. Data are obtained from ascending and descending tracks covering the research area, and the deformation results are obtained by the stacking and analysis of time series. The results demonstrate that the GCF exhibit slow slip overall. An analysis of different sections indicates that the fault displays both right-lateral strike-slip and normal faulting behaviors, and the movement is particularly obvious in the middle section of the GCF. Furthermore, we investigate the contemporary slip rate of the GCF using GPS data and construct two velocity profiles perpendicular to the fault strike at the southeastern and northwestern ends of the fault. The southeastern profile shows ~4 mm/year of right-lateral strike-slip movement and a modest (<1 mm/year) amount of crustal thickening across the fault, while the northwestern profle shows much slower (~ 1 mm/year) right-lateral strike-slip motion and 0.5 mm/ year of crustal extension. The GPS results are consistent with the InSAR deformation map derived using Sentinel-1 A/B data from 2014 to 2017. Our results support the distributed crustal motion model in which most crustal deformation (shortening/ extension/strike-slip) occurs on various active faults in the central Tibetan Plateau rather than being concentrated on several fast-moving fault zones, e.g., the GCF-BCF. Finally, we analyze the distribution of historical earthquakes and the gravity and aeromagnetic felds. We speculate that a fault may exist north of Gyaring Co Lake that may be an extension of the fault north of Mujiu Co Lake.

The Dasht-e-Bayaz left-lateral strike-slip fault in northeastern Iran ruptured in two destructive earthquakes in 1968 and 1979. The western half of the Dasht-e-Bayaz fault cuts across the dry lake-bed in the Nimbluk valley and has no measurable relief except for at a few localised jogs in the fault trace. We provide the first quantitative constraint on the slip-rate of the Dasht-e-Bayaz fault averaged over the Holocene. The western part of the fault cuts across the Nimbluk valley; the flat surface of which is composed of lake-bed sediments. Small streams cut into the surface of the lake-beds are displaced across the fault by 26 ± 2 m. Two OSL samples of the lake-bed sediments are successfully dated at 8.6 ± 0.6 and 8.5 ± 1.0 ka, from which we calculate a minimum slip-rate of 2.6 mm/yr. This minimum slip rate remains constant with the previously proposed Holocene slip rate of 2.5 mm/yr and within the range of the Holocene slip rate of 2.4 ± 0.3 mm/yr estimated before on the central section of the Doruneh fault.

In the central region of Mainland Kachchh, Western India, the Katrol Hill Fault (KHF) is one of the major E-W trending faults. An understanding of the episodes of reactivation during the past has a bearing on the future seismicity in the region. These reactivations are manifested by offset of elevation of fluvial sediments and scarp-derived colluvium in the Khari River basin, SE of Bharasar (23°11'36.5"N, 69°35'22.6"E). Stratigraphic offsets of the sediments at this site suggest three episodes of reactivation of the KHF during the late Quaternary. Optical dating of samples from sediment strata and top layer of scarp-derived colluvium using Natural Sensitivity Corrected – Single Aliquot Regenerative (NCF-SAR) protocol suggested that these events occurred during the past ~30 ka, with the most recent historic episode around 3.0 ka. Given that a part of the slip recorded in the form of sediments offset, was lost due to erosion after faulting, a lower bound to the time averaged slip rate of the segment of KHF, is inferred to be > 0.23 mm/a during the past 30 ka.
