Rupture characteristics of a small-sized earthquake (MW 4.2), onshore the south Red Sea, Saudi Arabia

The present study is based on the use of Empirical Green's Function (EGF) deconvolution technique to retrieve the slip distribution of the 2014 Mw 4.2 Jizan earthquake, Saudi Arabia. Two datasets of complex Source Time Functions (STFs) were retrieved using two appropriate EGF events. We inverted the STF datasets to recover the slip distribution over both nodal planes, using the Bayesian modeling followed by a linear least-squares method. The...
