Slip distribution obtained for the Mw 7.7 Balochistan earthquake on September 24th, 2013 from satellite based observations of the co-seismic displacement (Jolivet et al., 2014). The color of each subfault patch indicates the slip amplitude, while the brightness represents relative total slip uncertainty. Arrows and their associated 2-σ error ellipse indicate the slip direction. The inversion was performed using the ALTAR Bayesian algorithm and the approach of Duputel et al. (2014) to account for uncertainty in the shear modulus structure shown by the red histograms on the right (Duputel et al., 2014).
