Zusammenfassung
We use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) observations to investigate the fault geometry and afterslip evolution within 3 years after the mainshock. The postseismic observations favor a ramp-flat structure in which the flat angle should be lower than 10°. The postseismic deformation is dominated by afterslip while the viscoelastic response is negligible. A multi-segment stress-driven afterslip model (hereafter called SA-2 model) with depth-varying frictional properties explains better the spatiotemporal evolution of the postseismic deformation than a two-segment stress-driven afterslip model (hereafter called SA-1 model). Although the SA-2 model does not improve the misfit significantly, this multi-segment fault with depth-varying friction is more physically plausible given the depth-varying mechanical stratigraphy in the region. Compared to the kinematic afterslip model, the mechanical afterslip models with friction variation tend to underestimate early postseismic deformation to the west, which may indicate a more complex fault friction than we expected. Both of the kinematic and stress-driven models can resolve downdip afterslip, although it would be affected by data noises and model resolution. The transition depth of the sedimentary cover-basement interface inferred by afterslip models is ∼12 km in the seismogenic zone, which coincides with the regional stratigraphic profile. Because the coseismic rupture propagated along a basement-involved fault while the postseismic slip may activate the frontal structures and/or shallower detachments in the sedimentary cover, the 2017 Sarpol-e Zahab earthquake may act as a typical event which contributes to both of the thick- and thin-skinned shortening of the Zagros in both seismic and aseismic way.
