Geophysics From Terrestrial Time‐Variable Gravity Measurements (2017, background): “The associated deformation is called postseismic relaxation (Azúa et al., 2002; Barbot & Fialko, 2010; Perfettini & Avouac, 2004; Pollitz, 1997, 2001).”
A unified continuum representation of post-seismic relaxation mechanisms: semi-analytic models of afterslip, poroelastic rebound and viscoelastic flow (2010, methodology): “Studies of post-seismic relaxation typically rely on models of fault afterslip (e.g. Perfettini & Avouac 2004,2007; Johnson et al. 2006; Freed et al. 2006; Hsu et al. 2006; Barbot et al. 2009a; Ergintav et al. 2009), viscoelastic relaxation (Pollitz et al. 2000; Freed & Bürgmann 2004; Barbot et…”

These studies have assumed that afterslip is associa”
Statistical physics of fracture, friction, and earthquakes (2011, background): “Quantitative comparison between afterslip observations and models indicate that the RSF law well explains afterslip (Freed, 2007; Perfettini and Avouac, 2004).”
From Geodetic Imaging of Seismic and Aseismic Fault Slip to Dynamic Modeling of the Seismic Cycle (2015, background): “In any case, the ∼1/t Omori law of aftershock decay (e.g., Kisslinger 1996) may well be driven by afterslip (Hsu et al. 2006, Kato 2007, Perfettini & Avouac 2004a, Perfettini et al. 2010, Yu et al. 2013).”
Post-seismic motion following the 1997 Manyi (Tibet) earthquake: InSAR observations and modelling (2007, methodology): “According to the brittle creep mechanism modelled by Perfettini & Avouac (2004), aftershocks and deep afterslip follow the same temporal evolution.”
Towards inferring earthquake patterns from geodetic observations of interseismic coupling (2010, unknown): “The mathematical form of a spring-slider problem similar to the one formulated here can be found elsewhere (Perfettini and Avouac, 2004).”
