Field Survey

Caption

A field survey measured the ground displacement along the surface rupture. The photograph shows a laser scanner used to measure ruptures and fissures. This method, together with InSAR data, identifies localised deformation right on the fault (~45%) and deformation distributed off-fault (~55%).
