Datasets documenting Surface Rupture from an Aftershock: Remote Observations from the January 2024 Wushi (Aykol) Earthquakes, China

This data release provides shapefiles of surface rupture mapping, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data, finite fault modeling inputs, parameters, and outputs, and optical image cross-correlation displacement data derived from high-resolution satellite imagery to accompany the manuscript “Thompson Jobe and others, Surface Rupture From an Aftershock: Remote Observations From the January 2024 Wushi (Aykol) Earthquakes, China”. The data release includes a shapefile (Child item: Surface Rupture Mapping of the January 2024 Wushi Earthquakes, China), four geotiff image files of InSAR data (Child item: InSAR files for the January 2024 Wushi Earthquakes, China), five geotiff images of optical image displacements, a geojson file, .txt files of displacement profiles derived from the optical image cross-correlation (Child item: Optical Image Displacements from the Mw 5.7 Wushi Earthquake, China), and files related to the finite-fault modeling (Child item: Finite Fault Model and Teleseismic Observations from the Mw 5.7 Wushi Earthquake, China). The shapefile contains surface rupture mapping from high-resolution (<0.5 m pixel) satellite imagery (“SurfaceRuptureMappingoftheJanuary2024WushiEarthquakesChina.shp”). The four InSAR geotiff image files contain line-of-sight (LOS) wrapped and unwrapped deformation maps from Sentinel-1 data. The five optical image cross-correlation geotiff image files contain north-south, east-west, vertical, fault-parallel, and fault-perpendicular displacement maps derived from pre- and post-earthquake WorldView-2 and WorldView-3 (© 2024 Maxar) satellite imagery. The geojson file contains a simplified surface rupture fault trace to determine displacement across the fault from the displacement maps. The .txt files contain displacement profiles of fault-parallel, fault-perpendicular, and vertical offsets derived from the optical image cross-correlation displacement maps. Finite fault modeling files include zip files of the model inputs, model parameters, and model output.
