ZHANG Jie from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made progress on real-time determination of earthquake focal mechanism through deep learning.

"The focal mechanism analysis indicated that the earthquake resulted from strike-slip faulting at a shallow depth of 10 km [6 miles], consistent with rupture activity along the Sagaing Fault," the ...

The study also found that questions related to earthquake focal mechanisms were not useful in distinguishing the likely origin of earthquakes, but that aftershock characteristics might be helpful ...

Following the Ms 6.2 earthquake in Jishishan County, Gansu Province, China, in 2023, the research team utilized methods such as relocation, focal mechanism solutions, and rupture process inversion ...

The two earthquakes are separated by just 10 km in an east-west direction. Focal mechanisms, describing the style of faulting for the earthquakes, suggest slip on either fault planes striking ...

The trend of aftershock epicenters suggested an east-northeast orientation of the fault that generated the earthquake. Focal mechanism solutions computed by the different seismological observatories ...
