March 28, 2013 SMD/Earth Science Division Ms. Chunli Dai Division of Geodetic Science Ohio State University Columbus, OH 43210 Dear Ms. Dai: Thank you for your renewal application to the NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF) Program. Your progress report on “Earthquake Seismic Deformation From Spaceborne Gravimetry” (13-EARTH13R-76) is satisfactory, and has been approved for renewal. Attached is a copy of the updated NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship Guide. This document contains information that you will find useful throughout the course of your fellowship. Please keep it handy for reference. Through a survey of previous graduates awarded with the NESSF grants, we have learned about the desire of many who would like to have the opportunity to visit NASA Centers. The reasons vary, ranging from collaboration with NASA scientists or giving a seminar, to job searching. The desired length of the visits also vary, ranging from days or a few weeks, to a full summer. If you have such a desire, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the research and development undertaken by the various Centers. If we can help you or facilitate such a visit, please let Dr. Ming Ying Wei know by telephone (202) 358-0771 or via email at [email protected]. Upon receipt of your Ph.D. degree, you may wish to consider applying to the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP). The NPP offers unique research opportunities to highly talented national and international individuals to engage in ongoing NASA research programs at a NASA Center. These fellowship appointments, one to three years in duration, are competitive and are designed to advance NASA's goals and objectives. The NPP is administered for NASA by Oak Ridge Associated Universities. You will find more detailed information by visiting the NPP website at http://nasa.orau.org/postdoc/.

Mass redistribution caused by earthquakes

* 

* Hypothesis: by surveying right above the fault area, GRACE can better constrain the centroid location and slip orientation, with our new approach for GRACE data processing with no filter.

* Recent studies of estimating source parameters using GRACE data * Based on finite fault model [Cambiotti and Sabadini, 2012; Wang

et al., 2012a, 2012b; Dai et al., 2014] * Based on Centroid Moment Tensor [Han et al., 2011, 2013;

Cambiotti and Sabadini, 2013].

* This study * emphasizes the use of the north component of the gravity change * achieves enhanced resolutions, using higher degree solutions * applies the localized spectral analysis [Wieczorek & Simons, 2005]

linear algorithm between coseismic gravity change and CMT

Comparison to other

methods:

1.  Subtracting gravity change before and after the earthquake [Han et al., 2006, 2010, 2011] -> deficiency on reducing random noise

2.  Utilizing Slepian functions [Wang et al., 2012a, 2012b] ->not a rigorous representation

§Updated from Dai et al. GRL [2014]

*  Explanation on why the strike and rake angles are correlated [Han et al., 2013] :

M xz ≈ −M0 cos φs −λ( ) M yz ≈ M0 sin λ −φs( ) M xy ≈ M0δ cos 2φs −λ( ) M yy −M xx ≈ 2M0δ sin(2φs −λ)

β = φs − arctan sinλ cosδ / cosλ( ) ≈ φs −λ
