About this award
This $538,287 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university. The grant is for a research project to investigate the relationship between seismic and aseismic fault slip on both the plate interface and the faults overlying it, using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) geodetic data. The project aims to constrain the physical processes controlling the interplay between slow slip and overlying crustal faults. The award does not have a set-aside designation, and the completion date is April 11, 2025. MIT has a history of conducting cutting-edge research across scientific and engineering disciplines, including through past federal contracts and grants with agencies such as the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA.
Description
In order to better understand the relationship between seismic and aseismic fault slip on both the plate interface and the faults overlying IT, this project will investigate these interactions with both interferometric synthetic aperture radar (insar) and global navigation satellite system (gnss) geodetic data, to constrain the physical processes that control the interplay between slow slip and overlying crustal faults. The large magnitude of deep hikurangi slow slip events (producing up to 4~CM of horizontal and vertical surface displacements) and their position directly beneath the land provide an opportunity to use insar to image slow slip at a much greater spatial resolution than gnss data alone.
