Displacement and strain field from the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes derived from analysis of WorldView optical satellite imagery (ver. 2.0, May 2021)

This Data Release contains co-seismic horizontal and vertical displacements of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes derived from sub-pixel cross correlation of WorldView satellite optical imagery. Additionally, the dataset contains the 2-dimensionsal (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) surface strain fields, inverted from the surface displacements. We also present an alternative set of 2D surface strain calculations, processed after removal of the UTM reference frame. Associated publication: Barnhart, W.D., Gold, R.D., Hollingsworth, J., 2020 Localized fault zone dilatancy and surface inelasticity of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes. Nature Geoscience. DOI: 10.1038/s41561-020-0628-8.
