IRREGULAR RUPTURE PROPAGATION AND GEOMETRIC FAULT COMPLEXITIES DURING THE 2010 MW 7.2 EL MAYOR-CUCAPAH EARTHQUAKE

Irregular rupture propagation and geometric fault complexities during the 2010 Mw 7.2 El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake

Abstract The 2010 M W 7.2 El Mayor-Cucapah, Mexico, earthquake ruptured multiple faults with different faulting mechanisms.Resolving the earthquake rupture process and its relation to the geometric fault complexities is critical to our understanding of the earthquake source physics, but doing so by conventional finite-fault inversion is challenging
