The 2008 Nura Mw6.7 earthquake: A shallow rupture on the Main Pamir Thrust revealed by GPS and InSAR

The 2008 Nura Mw6.7 earthquake occurred in front of the Trans-Alai Range, central Asia. We present Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) measurements of its coseismic ground deformation that are available for a major earthquake in the region. Analysis of the InSAR data shows that the eart...
