They have been inferred from aftershock distribution (Alparone and Gambino 2003), seismic reflection and refraction imaging (Minshull and Hall 1997; Catchings et al. 2008), and inversions based on various geophysical and geological data (Vos et al. 2006; Cho and Nakanishi 2000; Hayes and Wald 2009; Huang et al. 2008). However, the results from different methods are often significantly different, especially for the rupture depth (Heermance et al. 2003). If the...
