The faulting model of this earthquake was estimated based on the coseismic InSAR and GPS displacements. In addition, the best-fitting coseismic faulting model indicates that both the Pazarcik earthquake and the Elbistan earthquake were controlled by predominated left-lateral strike-slip motion, with slip peaks of 9.7 m and 10.8 m, respectively. The Coulomb failure stress (CFS) change suggests that the Pazarcik earthquake has a positive effect in triggering the rupture of the seismogenic fault of the Elbistan earthquake. Furthermore, these two main shocks promoted the occurrence of the Mw 6.3 strong aftershock. Additionally, it is found that the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake doublet increased the rupture risk of the Puturge segment of the EAF fault and the northern segment of the Dead Sea Fault (DSF). It is crucial to note that the northern segment of the DSF has not experienced a large earthquake in several centuries, highlighting the need for heightened attention to the potential seismic hazard of this segment. Finally, a deformation zone adjacent to the DSF was identified, potentially attributed to the motion of a blind submarine fault.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15133327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]],"date-time":"2023-06-30T01:02:41Z","timestamp":1688086961000},"page":"3327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Coseismic Faulting Model and Post-Seismic Surface Motion of the 2023 Turkey\u2013Syria Earthquake Doublet Revealed by InSAR and GPS Measurements"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jing-Jing","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}]},{"given":"Ying-Hui","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"ISC (2022).
