Fig. 2: Dynamic simulation results of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake doublet.
a Snapshots of the absolute slip rate and surface wavefield, highlighting the complex rupture process for the first Mw 7.8 event, at rupture times of 5, 12, 15, 30, 50, and 65 s. The labels indicate noteworthy features of the rupture. Black circles mark the hypocenter location. b Snapshots of the absolute slip rate and surface wavefield, highlighting the complex rupture process for the second Mw 7.6 event, at rupture times of 2, 5, 9, 12, 15, and 22 s. c The final fault slip, rupture velocity, and stress drop over the ruptured fault segments (filtered with fault slip threshold ≥0.1 m), shown in the top, middle, and bottom panels, respectively. d Normalized moment rate functions (MRFs), obtained in this study and previously derived1,2,18,67. Blue lines represent MRFs obtained through kinematic inversion, while the other lines are from dynamic simulations. The top and bottom panels show the MRFs for the first and second events, respectively. The magnitude for each case is indicated in the legend.
